[SOLVED] Wrapping if statement around HTML/PHP

[flashpipe]

I'm new to php and I need to wrap an if statement around a group of php/html and don't know how to go about it...if anyone could help, that would be great...

 

I need to make the following chunk of code display based on the if statement below:

 

<form action="<?php echo($cartweaver->thisPageName . "?cartid=" . $_SESSION["CartId"]);?>" method="post" name="addToCart">
<?php cw3ProductOptions($productId, $taxRate);?>
    <input name="prodId" type="hidden" value="<?php //echo($productId);?>">
    <input name="submit" type="submit" class="formButton" value="Add to Cart">
</form> 

 

and this is the if statement I need to wrap around it...

 

if(isset($_SESSION["customerID"]) && $_SESSION["customerID"] != "0") {

} 

 

Thanks!!

<?php
if(isset($_SESSION["customerID"]) && $_SESSION["customerID"] != "0") {
?>
<form action="<?php echo($cartweaver->thisPageName . "?cartid=" . $_SESSION["CartId"]);?>" method="post" name="addToCart">
<?php cw3ProductOptions($productId, $taxRate);?>
    <input name="prodId" type="hidden" value="<?php //echo($productId);?>">
    <input name="submit" type="submit" class="formButton" value="Add to Cart">
</form> 
<?php
}
?>

SWEET!! So, wrap the if inside a tag and then the following tags are dependent on that if...interesting...

 

Thanks!

That is a shady way to do it, the proper way is to have the data you want printed in a string and print it out at the end of the script to avoid any issues that might come from modifying headers etc. This is the way i would go about doing it:

 

<?php
$form=false;
if(isset($_SESSION["customerID"]) && $_SESSION["customerID"] != "0") {
    $form = '<form action="' . $cartweaver->thisPageName . '?cartid=' . $_SESSION["CartId"] . '" method="post" name="addToCart">
     '. cw3ProductOptions($productId, $taxRate) .'
    <input name="prodId" type="hidden" value="'.$productId.'">
    <input name="submit" type="submit" class="formButton" value="Add to Cart">
</form>';
}

if (!$form) { 
    echo $form;
}

 

This way you have full control and do not have to worry about conflicting items such as session_start or headers or even setcookie.

 

Just another option to do it.

Very cool...thanks! The syntax is pretty similar to actionscript, but building the string with the html was throwing me...

 

THANKS!!!!
