RE: [PHP] Easy Question -- Show/ Hide text based on output of query
Thanks for all your help, but I figured out what I did wrong
I was calling the memberNotes field using
echo $get_detail->Fields("memberNotes")
so when I replaced $memberNotes in the script with
$get_detail->Fields("memberNotes") it worked like a charm
If ($get_detail->Fields("memberNotes")) {
$notes = "Notes:";
} else {
$notes = "";
}
Dumb error on my part.
Thank you very much for your patience,
Ed

I meant your *whole* script -- never mind, have you tried echo($memberNotes)
to see what that contains? Are you sure it doesn't contain spaces or other
non-visible characters?

Sorry -- Here it is
Notes:";
} else {
$notes = "";
}
?>
Then I call $notes using --
echo ($notes)

RE: [PHP] Easy Question -- Show/ Hide text based on output of query
I used echo($notes) at the bottom of the page and the output of $notes
prints reardless of whether or not the db field $memberNotes contains
any data. It seems to me that $notes is always acting as if $memberNotes
always contains data. Is their some way to invoke $notes only if
$memberNotes returns any data?
Thanks for your help,
ED

What are those forward slashes (/) doing in $notes? Try getting rid of them,
they don't look very HTML to me :)
Also try echo($notes) OUTSIDE of a construct to see what it contains.
