[wp-hackers] 0 as meta-data value is not being added to thedatabase.

[Kevinjohn Gallagher]

Thanks Otto,

That's a good catch bro, I had to check:
-  get_metadata (and using a print_r to test) isn't returning anything
-  upon testing adding metadata with a meta_value of 0 doesn't get added to 
the database
-  upon testing updating an existing metadata with a meta_value of 0 removes 
that metadata from the database

I've been through the code and added all the various debug and die() scripts 
and the appropriate: add_post_meta and update_post_meta.

wait... Wouldn't you know, because I'm not embarrassed enough already, the 
code has a typo in it that I couldn't spot until now.

Sorry all, and thanks for the help.
Kev

I can't see any reason it wouldn't add it.

Are you checking the database directly for the result? Or are you
checking with get_metadata and then comparing to false?

Reason I ask is because 0 == false, but 0 does not === false.
