Re: [PHP] Re: A tricky one?
Basically, you want to do is evaluate if they entered anything for each item, and if so, print an additional line to the message. Explanation: $message .= "blah"; appends "blah" onto the end of the string $message \n is a new line (I dunno, you might be a newbie!!) If they entered 2 hamburgers and one pizza into the form, then the result of $message would be: --- I would like to order: Pizza: 1 Hamburger: 2 --- I think you get the drift. There are DEFINATELY better ways to write this code, but it's the simplest to understand.

RE: [PHP] Re: A tricky one?
Try This approach:
$msg = " I want to order: ";
if(!empty($pizza)) {
$msg .= $pizza."Pizza";
}
if(!empty($chips)) {
$msg .= $chips."Chips ";
}
if(!empth($hamburgers)) {
$msg .= $hamburgers." Hamburgers";
}
//Note: PHP has a one-line if statement, which slips my mind for the
moment. You can use it, to minimize the code above. Nevetheless, the
concept stays the same.
/*
Creates the example message
"I want to order:
2 pizza
4 chips
1 hamburger
"
*/
You can then send $msg as the message of the e-mail, or append it to some
more text.

Re: [PHP] Re: A tricky one?
If you only want to show the ones variables that have values input by
the user, you could do this with the while loop:
while (list($var, $val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
if ((strlen($val) > 0) && ($var !="email") && ($var !="SUBMIT") &&
(isset($var)) {
$message .= "$val $var were ordered \n";
}
}
This will make sure that the string length of $val (the value of the
form element) is greater than 0; if not, it won't add it to the message.
