No Michael, your code is also not working. What you have understood is correct. let me explain it to others too. If variable twitter and facebook are empty don't echo anything, if variable twitter has a value and facebook is empty echo out only twitter, if variable twitter has no value and facebook has a value echo out facebook only, and finally if both has values echo out both. Basically I want to echo out only if there is some value in the database. But in my case both the images are echoing out.

From looking at your code, the issue is that your if statements are checking for the same criteria as your else statements, meaning that if the string is empty ("") the if statements will be triggered, and since the if statements are true, the elseif statement will not be. Or if the string isn't empty, neither the if or the elseif statements will be triggered, causing the else statement to be activated. Either way, the images would be printed out. * * * * *Did you mean to do this?* <?php if($search->plugin->ListViewValue() == "" && $search->facebook->ListViewValue() == "") {

    // Neither one has a value

} elseif ($search->plugin->ListViewValue() != "" && $search->facebook->ListViewValue() != "") {

    // Both have a Value
    echo '<a href="' . $search->plugin->ListViewValue() . '"><img
    src="images/twitter.gif" width="22" height="23"/></a></a>' . '<a

First of all, please bottom post on this (and probably any) mailing list.. You should perhaps provide what the contents of $search->plugin->ListViewValue()=="" and $search->facebook->ListViewValue()=="" is. Though, if I understood you correctly, it would be as simple as: $facebookEnabled = $search->facebook->ListViewValue()!=""; $twitterEnabled = $search->plugin->ListViewValue()!=""; if($facebookEnabled)

         {

         echo '<a href="'.$search->facebook->ListViewValue().'"><img

src="images/facebook.gif" width="22" height="23"/></a></a>';

        }
         if($twitterEnabled)
         {

        echo '<a href="'.$search->plugin->ListViewValue().'"><img

src="images/twitter.gif" width="22" height="23"/></a></a>';

        }

Recapitulating your pseudocode above, you don't need anything so complex: if twitter is set: emit twitter image if facebook is set: emit facebook image The two seem completely independent of each other. Thus: <?php $twitter = $search->plugin->ListViewValue(); if (!empty($twitter)) { echo '<a href="'.$twitter.'"><img src="images/twitter.gif" width="22" height="23"/></a>'; } $fb = $search->facebook->ListViewValue(); if (!empty($fb)) { echo '<a href="'.$fb.'"><img src="images/facebook.gif" width="22" height="23"/></a>'; } ?> The above will give a twitter image+link if the twitter link is set, and a facebook image+link if facebook is set. You don't need to do anything special if both are set, or if neither is set, as they are completely independent of each other. -- Tamara Temple aka tamouse__ May you never see a stranger's face in the mirror
