if else syntax help

[xtiancjs]

Hi , am having a little trouble with the following:

I have a link that contains a url like this:

homepage:<a href="<?php echo $row_bprofile['broker_url']; ?>" target="_blank"> click here</a>

What I want to do is, if there is a value in the db for the url , display the link

if there is no url value just leave the space empty.


i tried <?php $url1 = $row_bprofile['broker_url'];
if($url1 = "not null") { echo 'homepage:<a href="<?php echo $row_bprofile['broker_url']; ?>" target="_blank"> click here</a>' ; }
else {echo ;} ?>

I got lots of errors



any ideas?

Change this:
[code]<?php $url1 = $row_bprofile['broker_url'];
if($url1 = "not null") { echo 'homepage:<a href="<?php echo $row_bprofile['broker_url']; ?>" target="_blank"> click here</a>'; }
else {echo;} ?>[/code]to
[code]<?php

$url1 = $row_bprofile['broker_url'];

if($url1 != "" && strlen($url) >= 6)
{
    echo "homepage: <a href=\"" . $row_bprofile['broker_url'] . "\" target=\"_blank\">click here</a>";
}

?>[/code]
