alright... so i have my db call, along with an if statement that checks to make sure there is a result... if there is... then i output my page.

however, i want to do only output sections depending on what rows exist and what don't ...

what is the correct way to set this up :

so i pull address from the db..

php

if ($row-> address == NULL)
{ 
} 
else 
{ 
<div> all of my crap i want to output </div>
}


i've tried a couple ways with that top if statment, exists... setting the address == '' ....

any help on the correct way to do that would be appreciated.

boom... tyler's new way of solving problems :
posting it and then realizing hes an idiot .... hooray!

i was just calling the wrong variable from the list , address instead of caddress.
hooray.

correct code for anyone else that happens upon it :
php

<? if ($row-> caddress == ""){ } else { ?>
your code goes here 
<? } ?>

Just a tip, but when mixing html and php it's conventional to use the php alternate syntax for readability.

Instead of:
php

<?php if ($row-> caddress == "") { ?>
    your code goes here
<?php } else { ?>  
    your code goes here   
<?php } ?>


You can do:
php

<?php if ($row-> caddress == "") : ?>
    your code goes here
<?php else : ?>  
    your code goes here   
<?php endif; ?>
