Re: Re: A tricky one?

Basically, you want to do is evaluate if they entered anything for each item, and if so, print an additional line to the message. <? $message = "I would like to order:\n"; if($pizza != "") { $message .= "Pizza: $pizza \n"; } if($chips != "") { $message .= "Chips: $chips \n"; } if($hamburger != "") { $message .= "Hamburger: $hamburger \n"; } ?> Explanation: $message .= "blah"; appends "blah" onto the end of the string $message \n is a new line (I dunno, you might be a newbie!!) If they entered 2 hamburgers and one pizza into the form, then the result of $message would be: --- I would like to order: Pizza: 1 Hamburger: 2 --- I think you get the drift. There are DEFINATELY better ways to write this code, but it's the simplest to understand.
