Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi all,

Can anyone show me where I am going wrong here.

[code=php]
<?php
if (strlen($row_accomm[‘pic’]) > 0 {
echo $row_accomm[‘pic’];
} else {
echo “awaiting photo”;
}
?>
[/code]

All I am trying to do is test the field ‘pic’ for a string, if there is one show the pic underlying the string.

If field is empty show the message.

Can anyone help please.

Kind regards

Dereck

<?php
if (strlen($row_accomm['pic']) > 0 ) {
echo $row_accomm['pic'];
} else {
echo "awaiting photo";
}
?>
[/code]

Does it?

You seemed to be missing the closing parenthesis for the "if" after the zero.

@dcjonesauthorAug 23.2005 — Hi and thanks for your reply.

I now have it working thanks to you:

[code=php]
<?php
if (strlen ($row_accomm['pic']) == 0)
{
echo "Awaiting picture";
}
else
{
?>
<img src="<?php echo $row_accomm['pic']; ?>">
<?php
}
?>
[/code]

Is there a tidy way to write this short code?

Thanks for your help

Keep safe and well

@Daniel_TAug 23.2005 — I'd write it like this...
[code=php]<?php
echo (strlen($row_accomm['pic']) == 0) ?
"Awaiting picture" :
"<img src="" . $row_accomm['pic'] . "">";
?>[/code]

@NogDogAug 23.2005 — Even a few less characters... ?
[code=php]
<?php
echo (empty($row_accomm['pic'])) ?
"Awaiting picture" :
"<img src="" . $row_accomm['pic'] . "">";
?>
[/code]

@MauAug 24.2005 — As mentioned above:

[code=php]
print (empty($row_accomm['pic']) ? 'Awaiting Picture!' : '<img src="'.$row_accomm['pic'].'" />');
[/code]
