showing if variables

2themoon

I'm doing something wrong here:

this is the code:
<? if ($b2['link']) { ?>

<a href="<?=$b2['link']?>" target="_blank">
<? } ?>

<? if ($b2['banner']) { ?>
<img src="<?=$b2['banner']?>" border="0"><br>
<? } ?>
<?=stripslashes($b2['text'])?>

<? if ($b2['link']) { ?></a>
<? } ?>

the output should look something like this:

link
if image then show
if text then show

can someone help me?

Ok...well what's not working with it?

linked banner is showing ok but ...
text only or linked text is not showing

at the moment, whenever there is a text and link - the link(url) shows up in the html source but not the text - so nothing shows up

so, there would be a problem before or after this line:
<?=stripslashes($b2['text'])?>

well it worked fine with me.... i tried a few permutations with the link,banner and text and it didnt create any probs.
moreover... just a tip...i wud rather prefer to code like

<?
if ($b2['link']) 
{  

	echo "<a href=". $b2['link'] . " target=_blank>"; 
}

if ($b2['banner']) {  

	echo "<img src=" . $b2['banner']." border=0><br>"; 
} 
echo stripslashes($b2['text']); 
if ($b2['link']) { 
	echo "</a> ";
}
?>

as it is easy to follow and i think performance-wise also better....although i'm not so sure of the latter...i'm confident of the former. and by that i certainly do NOT mean the formatting but the numerous <? ?> that were seen in ur piece of code.

Where are these links coming from (ie, is the 'text' index actually part of the array)? I can't really see where it's a logic problem...unless you're using the wrong array index or something of that sort.
