if-else statement a small question?

[bulgaria_mitko]

i have this code:

[code]<?php
if ($ime != TRUE) {
    echo $_POST['ime'];
} else {
    echo "<i>Моля, въведете Вашето име!</i>";
}
?>[/code]

trying to display the $ime witch in english is $name and when someone write a name it displays it, but when nothing is written and is clicked on submit it suppossed to show this text: "Моля, въведете Вашето име!" (witch means that the user didnt enter a name), but when i user didnt enter a name and click on submit it dosent show anything, what i mean by that is that i suppose it is FALSE and thats why it is 0 but the 0 is not displayed and it is displaying "" (nothing), not an error and also not the messege, nothing.

So can someone tell me where is my mistake? thank you!

Hi,

Give this a try,

[code]
<?php
if (isset($_POST['ime']) && $_POST['ime'] != '') {
    echo $_POST['ime'];
} else {
    echo "<i>&#1052;&#1086;&#1083;&#1103;, &#1074;&#1098;&#1074;&#1077;&#1076;&#1077;&#1090;&#1077; &#1042;&#1072;&#1096;&#1077;&#1090;&#1086; &#1080;&#1084;&#1077;!</i>";
}
?>
[/code]
