Input field questions
What about the url field, I have this as a shops directory, some dont have a url, and as I have "http://" to remind people to use it in the input field, those with no url will show with only "http://"
so how can I hide if only that is showing?
TIA

<%if $url %> = "http://" <- no idea what that is supposed to be, but that's not how an IF statement works. The IF statement works with what is inside the % signs. So if something like this would work it would be if $url=http://
But then why not just make it easier on yourself and remove the empty URL's from the database? That would be so much simpler.
Look at the bottom of this thread to see how to remove the requirement for entering a URL http://www.nicecoder.com/community/s...ad.php?p=24300

I want to keep the field, not remove it, but for shops who dont have a website, I want them to skip it without getting the error message, or shoule I remove the lines:
elseif (empty($url) || $url == 'http://')
$error_msg = $msg["10102"];
??
Thanx again

Actually that post and what you copied gives you your answer to the IF statement.
if $url == 'http://'
If you removed those two lines then the URL would not be a requirement.
How do you remove blank http:// from your database? You edit it. I won't give you any mysql commands because if you mistype you could blow up your entire database. Download the database, edit it and reupload it.

Yes, but downloading and uploading everynow and then would be a headache, especially with a large database and a bad connection.
Thanx anyway
