Dreamweaver 8 - if a field contains a null value, can I completely hide it?

[JTapp]

Below is my echo line.. I'm wanting the entire line to disappear if the field value is null.

Does anybody know if there is a way I can do this?

Thanks in advance for your time!

 

 

echo "<p<b>Meeting Time:</b> $variable16</p>";

if(!empty(trim($variable16))) {
     echo "<pMeeting Time: $variable16</p>";
}

You should give your variables meaningful names. Don't let dreamweaver name them for you.

Thanks for the advice.  I tried inserting that line and I got a blank page returned..?

Any ideas around what I might have done wrong?

Turn error reporting on and post the error here.

[JTapp]

added "or die" after your line and still got a blank page.

i'm still learning this stuf..

Add

 

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 'on');

?>

to the top of your script. Rerun the script and errors should be displayed.

Missing a > on the paragraph tag.

 

echo "<pMeeting Time: $variable16</p>";

 

should be

echo "<p>Meeting Time: $variable16</p>";
