Which one of these?
<input type="textbox">
<input type="select">
<input type="textarea">

And do you mean after they click submit and the form is
processed by a PHP script? Is that where it should look for
the empty "textfield"?

I don't think I'm understanding it correctly?

where do i place the if statement?

send email script
<?php
//define the receiver of the email
$to = "szething@pddesignstudio.com";
//define the subject of the email
$subject = 'CKC CONTACT FORM';
//create a boundary string. It must be unique
//so we use the MD5 algorithm to generate a random hash
$random_hash = md5(date('r', time()));
//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n
$headers = "From: ";
$headers .= $_POST["email"];
$headers .= "\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ";
$headers .= $_POST["email"];
//add boundary string and mime type specification
$headers .= "\r\nContent-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"PHP-alt-".$random_hash."\"";
//define the body of the message.
ob_start(); //Turn on output buffering
?>

On the page with the form that has the text area you want to default to N/A if it is blank. I don't see any input fields in what you posted so can't be more specific.

One option is to loop through all submitted post fields, and if an empty value exists, assign N/A to it like so:


foreach($_POST as $key => $value){
if(empty($value)){
$value = "N/A";
}
}
