[Resolved] simple "condition" problem

[vinny199]

Hi

I am struggling with something i'm sure is much easier than i make it to be

its about displaying certain fileds on condition there is a value for them in the database.

I do that this way:

<?php if ($row_rsjob['c']>""){ ?>

                    No reports available yet 

                    <?php } ?>

This is for my field "c" having a value in the database.
but how do i phrase this if i want this "no reports available yet" to show if:

$c is not empty AND $d is not empty AND $e is not empty?

(c,d,e being database columns)

basically, muliple conditions.

can you please help?

cheers,

Vinny

Well, it's intersting how you're doing it, but here's something you could do:

<?php
if ( !empty($row_rsjob['c']) && !empty($row_rsjob['d']) && !empty($row_rsjob['e']) )
{
    echo 'No reports available yet.';
}
?>

Here's some explanation to the above code:
IF
$row_rsjob['c'] IS NOT empty,
AND
$row_rsjob['d'] IS NOT empty,
AND
$row_rsjob['e'] IS NOT empty:
No reports are available.

If you want to use an OR (instead of the AND), use "||" (without quotes). Basically, you will only get the "No reports available yet" as long as all three columns are empty. If one is not empty, it will do something else.

Ah, and &#91;php&#93;&#91;/php&#93; tags around code help a lot:

&#91;php&#93;<?php
if( !empty($row_rsjob['c']) )
{
&#91;/php&#93;

if (!empty($var1) && !empty($var2) && !empty($var3))

empty() is a language construct which checks if the variable is an empty value (or unset).
! means not
&& means and
