Not showing a tag if the value is empty ??

[spacepoet]

Hello:

 

I have this bit of code in the works (which does not work):

<?php if ( $mySubHeader; != "" ) { echo " 

<h2>
	<?php echo $mySubHeader; ?>

</h2>

"; }

 

What I am trying to do is to show the H2 tag only if it has a value from the database.

 

Otherwise, I do not want to show it.

 

What is the correct way to do this?

 

Thanks.

Perhaps...

if(trim($mySubHeader) != "" ) { 
echo " <h2>" . $mySubHeader . "</h2>"; 
}else{
/* do something else */
}

Perfect!

 

I did this:

<?php 
if(trim($mySubHeader) != "" ) { 
echo "<h2>" . $mySubHeader . "</h2>"; 
}
?>

 

Just what I needed.

 

Thanks much!
