not to display string if variable is null.

[demo7up]

I need help making something like this.


so for example

if ($number == NULL) {
echo 'there is a $number';
}
else {
echo 'There is no value';
}

If the variable is set to null when there is no value, then I think you could check it by using $number === null (three '='). If the variable is not set at all when there's no number then it won't be equal to null so you'd have to use isset($number) to see if it's set.

i think i got it

i think i figured it out
Is this correct?

if (isset($number))
{
   echo "Variable is set";
}  
else
{
echo "its not set";
}

Yeah, that will work if the variable isn't set at all when there's no number.

Getting Close i can feel it...

im not getting any errors but

This works! I tested

if (isset($shirtid)) {
$template_hook['forumhome_above_forums'] .= "". $itemshirt ."";
}

This isnt though

else
{
$template_hook['forumhome_above_forums'] .= "put a shirt on";
}

I just get an X missing image icon instead of displaying the above msg

$template_hook['forumhome_above_forums'] .= "". $missingshirt ."";
}
else
{
$template_hook['forumhome_above_forums'] .= "". $itemshirt ."";
}
