empty fields

[wilna]

Hi

I have an address table, eg: memnr, name, adress1, adress2, adress3, postalcode, etc.  In some cases the member only has entries in say adress1 & 2, now if I display the information it looks something like this:

memnr = 1234

name = ABCD

address1 = Street 1234

address2 = City

address3 =

postalcode = 1234

 

I do not want to display the emtpy line in address 3, my code looks like this:

 

while ($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {

$memnr=$row['xnr'];

$namesurname=$row['surinit'];

$a1=$row['address1'];

$a2=$row['address2'];

$a3=$row['address3'];

$postalcode=$row['pocode'];

 

echo $memnr;

echo "<br>";

echo $namesurname;

echo "<br>";

echo $a1;

echo "<br>";

echo $a2;

echo "<br>";

echo $a3;

echo "<br>";

echo $postalcode;

}

Use an if statement checking if empty?

 

if (!empty($a3)) {
    echo $a3;
    echo "<br>"
}

Thank you, just one more question.  Does !empty mean empty or not empty?  If I read the if statement correct it says if $a3 is not empty then echo it?

The ! before a statement, like above, indicates NOT.
