if statement

northview

<?php
if($phone_home) {
    echo '<b>Home:</b> <?=[phone_home]?><br />';
}

if($phone_work{
    echo '<b>Work:</b> <?=[phone_work]?><br />';
}

if($phone_cell) {
    echo '<b>Cell:</b> <?=[phone_cell]<br />';
}

if($email) {
    echo '<b>Email:</b> <?=[email]?><br />';
}


?>

What I am trying to do is display the field only if there is data. I have tried several different ways and I get the error: UNEXPECTED T echo in line xxx

How can the above code be modified to work?

Thank you so much.

You have some errors in your code. One line is missing a ")" and another line could be said to be missing "?>" but you don't need any of the PHP opening or closing tags (<?= or ?>) that you have. And then who knows what "[phone_home]" is. It is not a php variable, and it definitely is not the same variable as "$phone_home".

Try this

<?php
if($phone_home) {
    echo '<b>Home:</b> ' . $phone_home . '<br />';
}

if($phone_work) {
    echo '<b>Work:</b> ' . $phone_work . '<br />';
}

if($phone_cell) {
    echo '<b>Cell:</b> ' . $phone_cell . '<br />';
}

if($email) {
    echo '<b>Email:</b> ' . $email . '<br />';
}
?>

Hello:

Thank you for your assistance. I plugged your code in and it displays like this:

if($phone_home) { echo 'Home: ' . $phone_home . '
'; } if($phone_work) { echo 'Work: ' . $phone_work . '
'; } if($phone_cell) { echo 'Cell: ' . $phone_cell . '
'; } if($email) { echo 'Email: ' . $email . '
'; }

I stuck it in the PHP tags so it was easy for you to read...understand this is what is displaying on the page.

What am I missing?

Thank you.

I did something and I am not sure what. I read another thread on here with the same error but could not spot it. I am getting the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/north/public_html/user-directory.php  on line 232

The error is within this code (when I remove it, the error goes away):

<?php 	  

  if($filter || $filter2 || $menu )
  while($row = mysql_fetch_array($res)) { 
  ?> <br><br><br>
      <tr>
       <td align="left">

 <b><?=$row[first_name] . ' ' . $row[last_name]?></b><br>
  <?=$row[address]?><br>
      <?=$row[city]?> <?=$row[state]?>, <?=$row[zipcode]?><br>
<?php
if($phone_home) {
    echo '<b>Home:</b> ' . $phone_home . '<br />';
}

if($phone_work) {
    echo '<b>Work:</b> ' . $phone_work . '<br />';
}

if($phone_cell) {
    echo '<b>Cell:</b> ' . $phone_cell . '<br />';
}

if($email) {
    echo '<b>Email:</b> ' . $email . '<br />';
}
?>

I removed the squiggly bracket in line 4...the error goes away...but no data displays. I should have backed up the page...uggghhh what was I thinking.

You have been so gracious...and I have been an idiot. Thank you so much for your help.

I removed the squiggly bracket in line 4

The question is where does that "while" loop end I don't see the closing bracket (}) for it, unless it is much further into the code than what you posted. Also the "if" before it doesn't have an opening bracket ({) which it should and then the closing bracket for it would also be needed.

Also which line of the code that you posted is 232?
