if/else statments inside php mail

[Andrew R]

Hi there.

 

How would I put if/else statements inside an php mail.  For example how would I put the following inside the message variable? –

 

if (empty($age)) {

echo “No age submitted”;

}

 

 

$to = "$addy";
$subject ="Title";
$message = "



";

$headers = "From: $forname <$email>";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

 

Thank you

if (empty($age)) {

$message =  "No age submitted";

}

Thanks

 

Although what if I had this?

 

$message = "

Name: $name
Email: $age
Age: if (empty($age)) {

echo “No age submitted”;

} else {
$age

";

Now I understand what your getting at, and no, your code won't work.

 

Try something like....

 

$message = "Name: $name\nEmail: $email\n";

if (empty($age)) {

  $message .= "Age: No age submitted";

} else {

  $message .= "Age: " . $age;

}

Make sure you throw some newlines in there.
