PHP - if function

[deadend]

Hi,

 

 

The following code shows a short description that is entered for the product. Since i have alot of products, and want to use the short description as a notice, i would like it to show only some text i.e. "This is custom text for field". 

if (!empty($this->product->product_s_desc)) {
?>
<div class="product-short-description">
<?php
 

I tryed alot of things but allways show a server error.

 

echo "This is custom text for field";

 

Thank you in advance.

Do you have error reporting turned on? If not, turn it on:

 

 error_reporting(E_ALL);
 ini_set("display_errors", 1);

Hi,

Thank you for the quick response.

 

My mistake in the first post, i did not copy the full code for that part:

 

 

// Product Short Description
if (!empty($this->product->product_s_desc)) {
?>

<div class="product-short-description">

<?php

/** @todo Test if content plugins modify the product description */

echo nl2br($this->product->product_s_desc);

?>
</div>

<?php

} // Product Short Description END
 

I don't know what to write so that allways shows my text line instead of $this->product->product_s_desc

 

Thank you.

Remove the entire section you've shown us...And put in your text.

Also, you say you are getting a 500 error (server error). What I want to know, is if you show errors? Do you have error reporting turned on?
