Help with Sendmail.php

Discussion in 'PHP' started by @Fitz, Sep 28, 2011.

    I have my sendmail.php working properly, I am wanting to know if there is a way to set conditions.

    Example: In my form I have a line called, 'color'. So in sendmail $color is used to grab the 'color' field in the form. To help distinguish what data is shown in the email I have added lables to them.

    Name = $name
    Color = $color
    Type = $type
    etc..

    Well If someone does not fill out the 'color' field in the form is there a way to comment out the line completely so that way I am not left with just a blank line

    Color = (nothing)

    I would rather see
    Name = $name
    Type = $type
    etc...

    You can test the variables first if they are empty. Example:

    $msg = '';
    if($name) $msg .= 'Name : ' . $name;
    if($color) $msg .= 'Color : ' . $color;
    ...
    ...

    and so on.

    fairuz.ismail is right but it's better to use isset function rather than test the variable in the if statement..

    
    $msg = '';
    if(isset($_REQUEST['name'])) $msg .= 'Name : ' . $_REQUEST['name'];
    if(isset($_REQUEST['color'])) $msg .= 'Color : ' . $_REQUEST['color'];
    if(isset($_REQUEST['type'])) $msg .= 'Type: ' . $_REQUEST['type'];

    When I use:
    I get;
    The First line shows the information used in the form.
    The Second line shows it empty because nothing was in the form.
