I have two primary variables that are composed of strings and other variables. I want the two primary variables only to be echo'ed
if all the variables that they are comprised of have data.
The two primary variables are $introduction
and colortxt
.
$introduction
is comprised of $finalvehicle3
, $bodystyle
, $mileage
, and $hi
.
$colortxt
is comprised of $model
, $exterior
, and $interiorspec
.
If any of the secondary variables are empty, I don't want the primary variable to be displayed.
Below is the code I have created that doesn't seem to be working. I have been using empty()
.
My PHP:
<?php
$finalvehicle3 = "Toyota Camry";
$bodystyle = "sedan";
$mileage = "30,000";
$hi = null;
$model = "Camry";
$exterior = "red";
$interiorspec = "black cloth";
if (empty([$finalvehicle3, $bodystyle, $mileage, $hi]) == true){
$introduction = "";
}
else {
$introduction = "I am pleased to present this ".$finalvehicle3." ".$bodystyle." with ".$mileage." miles.";
}
if (empty([$model, $exterior, $interiorspec]) == true){
$colortxt = "";
}
else {
$colortxt = "This ".$model." is finished in ".$exterior." with a ".$interiorspec. " interior.";
}
echo "<textarea name='' id='' style='width: 565px;' rows='8' cols='60'>";
echo $introduction." ".$colortxt;
echo "</textarea>";
echo "<br><br>";
?>
In this case $introduction
should not be displayed as $hi = null
I can't get empty([$finalvehicle3, $bodystyle, $mileage, $hi])
to work.
I was able to use:
if (empty($hi)
|| empty($finalvehicle3)
|| empty($bodystyle)
|| empty($mileage)){
$introduction = "";
}
else {
$introduction = "I am pleased to present this ".$finalvehicle3." ".$bodystyle."
with ".$mileage." miles.";
}
Will that not work?
