If, else statement

[dcjones]

Hi all,

I have a form which among other feilds has a "country" feild and a "vat" feild, if the user selects "United Kingdom" in the "country" feild I want the "vat" feild to be shown else hide the "vat"feild.

This is what I have so far and I know its not correct.

<?php
if ($country == "united kingdom")
{ 
echo "<input name="vat_number" type="text" class="coursetext" value="" size="20" />";
}
else
{
echo "<input name="vat_number" type="hidden" class="coursetext" value="" size="20" />";
}
?>

Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Many thanks

if you want this all to happen before the form is submitted (which seems logical) then you cannot do this with PHP, you must use client-side code.

Thanks.

I was thinking the same but was not sure.

Many thanks
