PHP confirmation page

reliable

I'm really hoping someone can help me. I've been trying to do this for some time. I have an HTML order form with multiple text fields into which numbers are entered to indicate how many of the selected product is desired.

That form posts to PHP file which sends an email to the owner, an autoresponder, and generates an HTML Thank you page.

When the owner gets the email it lists all variables (text fields) with the corresponding data (amount ordered). IF none was entered there si a blank space next to the item. What I need is that same list generated to the HTML thank yo upage but omitting any variable with no data attached so that it only shows the items selected.

Also, the confirmation page should not include the contact and delivery information.

Can someone help me tweak my sample code below?

use empty() with an if statement...

example

if (!empty($_POST['chocolate'])) {
     echo "Chocolate: " . $_POST['chocolate'];
} elseif(!empty($_POST['doublechocolate'])) {
     echo "Double Chocolate: " . $_POST['doublechocolate'];
} elseif(!empty(...)) {
     // etc etc...
}

reliable

Thank you so much for your quick response. I'm glad someone was around to help at such a late hour. I can finish my project now!

dclamp

no problem. Glad to help.

Let me know how that code works for ya.

reliable

Does it matter where I put it? Im putting it before the comment which sections off the email to owner code section.

dclamp

This should do it:

reliable

Wow..thanks again

dclamp

no problem!

reliable

Unfortunately, I tried your second posting and it did not work. It stops looking for variables after it sees one with data. I need it to see and post on the Thank you /confirmation page all those with data in it and moit those blank entries. So Im goign to try the first one you posted.

reliable

Unfortunately, the other didn't work either. Both examples only posts the first variable with data it sees and neglects the others.

dclamp

ah! i figured it out. i should have used all IFs and not ELSEIFs

replace my code with that:

reliable

gonna give it a whirl and get back to you shortly

reliable

Also, I just checked my emails and one of those scripts (not sure which one) when I put the order variable in the email it showed up like I would want it to..if that helps things at all.

dclamp

so it is working correctly then?

reliable

ok...gotta return to one of the first two posts you gave me because that gives the whole product list as well. One of the previous ones seemed to give the desired results, but it was in the email. So, once i see which one it was we can then perhaps switch something around so it shows up on the page.

It took me a while to get back because I was watching one of my former students help beat UCLA in the semis!!! GO Tigers!!

reliable

I actually have an idea. I'll tell you what I tried when I get back.
