How would I do this?

[Prince]

In the code below I want to have a else statement that says if no topic title exists, then make $pagetitle = this , as you can see it now says to make the pagetitle whatever the topic title is, but there are pages that do not have topic title and I still want those pages to have a page title.

//begin topic_title page title 
global $dbi, $storyhome, $topicname, $topicimage, $topictext, $datetime, $user, $cookie, $nukeurl, $prefix, $multilingual, $currentlang, $articlecomm, $sitename; 
$res = sql_query("select topictext from ".$prefix."_topics where topicid='$new_topic'", $dbi); 
list($topic_title) = sql_fetch_row($res, $dbi); 
$pagetitle = "- $topic_title"; 
//end topic_title page title

thanks to anyone that can help me! 🙂

That's simple:

if (empty($topic_title))
$pagetitle = "- (Untitled Topic)";
else
$pagetitle = "- $topic_title";

Btw, how do you post syntax-highlighted code like that?
