If field is empty, do &lt;BR&gt;

If field is empty, do

angela-sw-uk

I have created an array which gets (say) Name, Address, Telephone and displays them in a table with a border.

As we know, if a <TD> in a table is empty then no cell border is displayed and we have to put a in to force the cell to have the border, so I want to say (for example):

If there is no Telephone Number
Then
Insert a in this cell
Else
Display the Telephone Number

Can anyone help?

Cheers

      if ($Telephone == ""){
        echo "<BR>&nbsp;\n";
      }else{
        echo nl2br($Telephone);
      }

or
if (!$Telephone){
print '  ';
}else{
echo $Telephone;
}

First, I beleive you can use   instead of a to make ie or nutscrape think there is something in the cell. Second the code would look like this:

if (!$tel_num) {
echo "<td> </td>\n";
}
else {
echo "<td>$telnum</td>\n";
}
