[SOLVED] **SIMPLE PHP QUESTION - NEED HELP **

[dimakritchevski]

Hey there,

 

 

This is a simple problem with php code that I'm sure anyone with a decent knowledge of php can fix.... Here's what's going on:

 

I'm sending adwords traffic to a website with the following piece of code added on to the end of the destination url:

 

http://url.com/?KeyWord=Product Name

 

I'm then inserting the snippet as follows to add the KeyWord into my H1 tag

 

<H1><?php echo $_GET['KeyWord']; ?></H1>

 

The question is... how do I add a parameter to specify that if the KeyWord variable is blank to insert "Default Text" rather than just leaving KeyWord blank.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Just to be abundantly clear

 

Destination URL: http://url.com/?KeyWord=Weight Watchers

 

Headline: <?php echo $_GET['KeyWord']; ?>

 

I want it to be more like...

 

Headline: "KeyWord" and if KeyWord is blank to default to "Lite N Easy".

 

I'm sure this is an easy problem to fix for anyone who knows their stuff.

 

Thanks in advance!

Depends...

 

If ti is not going to be there at all:

 

<?php if(isset($_GET['KeyWord'])) { echo $_GET['KeyWord']; } else { echo "Default Text"; } ?>

 

Or if it is going to be there but be blank

 

<?php if($_GET['KeyWord'] != "") { echo $_GET['KeyWord']; } else { echo "Default Text"; } ?>

A neat ternary works too.

$keyword = ( (isset($_GET['KeyWord'])) && ($_GET['KeyWord'] != '') ) ? $_GET['KeyWord'] : 'Lite  n Easy';

echo $keyword

Just some shorthand :-P

<?php
$someKey = ($_GET['KeyWord'] != '') ? $_GET['KeyWord'] :'Default Text';

echo $someKey;

 

the speed of some responses....im a slow typist i suppose... :-P
