How to Put Multiple If Statements in One Variable??

fireineyes

How do you put multiple if statements in a single variable? Like this..

if ($p1 ) { 
	if ($p1_color) {echo $tab.$p1_color.'<br>';}
	if ($p1_Blue) { echo "$tab $p1_Blue Blue <Br>";}
	if ($p1_Green) { echo "$tab $p1_Green Green <Br>";}

}
else { echo "blah blah";}

Is there any way to assign one variable to this and when it is called, it only returns the results. I thought something like...

$p1all = {
if ($p1 ) { 
	if ($p1_color) {echo $tab.$p1_color.'<br>';}
	if ($p1_Blue) { echo "$tab $p1_Blue Blue <Br>";}
	if ($p1_Green) { echo "$tab $p1_Green Green <Br>";}

}
else { echo "blah blah";}
}

but I do not think this right.

I want the results all in one simple variable.

If that type of code is going to be used throughout a script, try using a function.

Although you may want to look at [man]eval[/man] however be cautious with this function.

I donot understand functions, please elaborate more.

Baically a function is just a collection of code to return something that is used over and over again http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.functions.php

So in your case as you want it to be a variable I thought you wanted to use this more than once this is when a function is much more appropriate.

Here is what I am trying to do. I want to store that in a variable that is used to send emails in php... my code.

$bps = stripslashes($Comments);
$myemail = 'Chris@mydomain.com';
$bizname = ' My Domain.com';

// hidden field in form value is "order" making this true

if ($form=="order"){  

$to = "\"$Title$First_Name $Last_Name\"<$Email>";

$headers = "From: \"My Domain.com\"<$myemail>";


$subject = "Product Order";   // subject of email 

$messagetosub="$Title$Last_Name,".'

// Variable that contains the form field submissions.  I want to 
// either have the if else condition loops insert the variable values 
// here or as it's own variable.  I will call it $p1all 

$info = "--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Order Information:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: $First_Name $Last_Name
Address: $Address
City: $City  

State: $State  

Zip: $Zip

';



$FN = "$First_Name";

 // variables over start processing //

mail( "$to", "$subject", "$messagetosub $info $tag $printp1" , "$headers");

IN the above code I have 2 places that might work...

$info = "--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Order Information:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: $First_Name $Last_Name
Address: $Address
City: $City  

State: $State  

Zip: $Zip  

Phone: $Phone
Alt. Phone: $Alt_Phone
Work Phone: $Work_Phone
Email: $Email  Confirm: $another_email
Comments: $Comments
$bps

// -- Insert $p1all here -- //
$p1all 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------";

// OR.. Simply Insert $p1all here.  I wanted one variable to make  

// it simple
mail( "$to", "$subject", "$messagetosub $info  $p1all $tag $printp1" , "$headers");

What I am trying to do is get it to where only the variables are printed that had been chosen. Lets say p1 and p3 was ordered. I do not want to echo p2, p4, p5, etc. plus all their product options, which was what I was trying to figure out at first by trying to put those if else conditional in there.
