EASY - IF statements

[OniLink]

Hi,
I'm new to PHP, so I'm not sure how to use IF statements.

Here is my code. Its a part of an email form:

$EmailBody = "
Name: $name
School: $school
Phone: $ph
Email: $email

if ($program == true) {
** --YES--, We would like to sign up to the Australian School Gymnastics program

Prefered Day:
Preference 1 = $ipref1
Preference 2 = $ipref2
No. Classses = $class

} else if ($program == false) {
** --NO--, We would NOT like to sign up to the Australian School Gymnastics program
}

";

It prints out the IF statements in the email, rather than only printing the result.

Please help. Thanks,
Josh.

you may want to look at some basic php tutorials so you can learn the syntax

in your example, you didnt use <?php tags and your also missing quotes

<?php

if ($foo == true) {
    $message = 'foo was true';
} else {
    $message = 'foo was not true';
}

?>

Thanks. The sample I showed was only a part of the code....I have the <? tags in the original.

What you've showed me answers my question though.

Thanks,
Josh.

Your if statement needs to be outside the the string assignment. Basically right now your if statement is part of the string. So you need to end your string, by closing the quotes. Then you can append more data to the string using the .= operator.

Your code should look something like this:

$EmailBody = " 
Name: $name 
School: $school 
Phone: $ph 
Email: $email";

if ($program == true) { 
$EmailBody .= "** --YES--, We would like to sign up to the Australian School Gymnastics program 

Prefered Day: 
Preference 1 = $ipref1 
Preference 2 = $ipref2 
No. Classses = $class";
} else if ($program == false) { 
$EmailBody .= "** --NO--, We would NOT like to sign up to the Australian School Gymnastics program";
}

Thats it.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.
