function help

[darkfreaks]

how would i write a function that would  not show certain values if left empty?

 

 

IE

 

name: joe

sex :

age:

 

would just display

 

name:Joe

 

instead of

 

name:Joe

Sex:

age:

Use an if statement to see if there is a value for sex and age

// sample data to work with
$data['name'] = 'Joe';
$data['sex'] = '';
$data['age'] = '';

     echo 'Name: ' . $data['name'] . '<br />';

     // Display the sex if its not empty
     if(!empty($data['name']))
     {
          echo 'Sex: '. $data['sex']  . '<br />';
     }

     // Display the age if its not empty
     if(!empty($data['age']))
     {
          echo 'Age: '. $data['age']  . '<br />';
     }
