echo IF

[fife]

I want to echo this div below but only if there is more than one of these fields missing.  How would I go about this?

 

 

<?php 
		//only echo all of this if one or more of these fields does not exists so.......


if () {
		   echo"
	 <div id=\"items_todo\">
           <h3>Members Info</h3><br/>
         <ul>";
		if (empty($User['address_L1'])) { echo "<li><a href=\"#\">Update Address</a></li>";} 
		 elseif (empty($User['intro'])) {echo "<li><a href=\"#\">About You</a></li>";}
		elseif (empty($User['profile_image'])){echo "<li><a href=\"#\">Add Profile Image</a></li>";}
		elseif (empty($User['Nickname'])){echo "<li><a href=\"#\">Add A Nickname</a></li>";}
echo"</ul>
	 </div>";
    } ?>

I think you could just do:

if (empty($User['address_L1']) || empty($User['intro']) || empty($User['profile_image']) || empty($User['Nickname'])) {


   echo"
<div id=\"items_todo\">
           <h3>Members Info</h3><br/>
         <ul>";

if (empty($User['address_L1'])) { echo "<li><a href=\"#\">Update Address</a></li>";} 

elseif (empty($User['intro'])) {echo "<li><a href=\"#\">About You</a></li>";}

elseif (empty($User['profile_image'])){echo "<li><a href=\"#\">Add Profile Image</a></li>";}
elseif (empty($User['Nickname'])){echo "<li><a href=\"#\">Add A Nickname</a></li>";}
echo"</ul>
</div>";

 

That way it will echo the div if one of those is empty and then move on the code you already have.

Here's a simpler way (and cleaner way) of doing this:

<?php
$tst = array('address_L1'=>'Update Address','intro'=>'About You','profile_image'=>'Add Profile Image','Nickname'=>'Add A Nickname');
$tmp = array();
foreach ($tst as $item => $txt) {
     if (empty($User[$item])) {
         $tmp[] = "<li><a href='#'>$txt</a></li>";
     }
}
if (!empty($tmp)) { // if $tmp is not empty a least one of the items tested was empty
   echo"
<div id='items_todo'>
           <h3>Members Info</h3><br/>
         <ul>";
   echo implode("\n",$tmp) . "\n";
   echo"</ul>
</div>";
?>
