[SOLVED] Make string not appear if field is empty?

[djfox]

I have the following sting:

<br>Msn: <b><? echo $user[8]; ?></b>

 

If $user[8] is empty, I want that entire string to just not show up. But if $user[8] does have something, I want that string to be visible. How do I make that happen?

<?php
if ($user[8]) {
echo "<br>Msn: <b>$user[8]</b>";
}
?>
