how to write it properly?

[anna90]

Can you tell me how to write it properly ?

if(isset($_POST['button'])) && ($_POST['form'] = !null)){
echo 'choose something';
}
else{
echo 'great choice!';
}

PHP Code:

if(isset($_POST['button'])) && ($_POST['form'] != null)){
echo 'choose something';
}
else{
echo 'great choice!';
} 


or

PHP Code:

if(!empty(@$_POST['form'])){
echo 'choose something';
}
else{
echo 'great choice!';
} 


The @ turns off error reporting for getting the function/variable after so avoids the need to use isset.

first one

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_BOOLEAN_AND

second one

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '@', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '$'

Sorry i didn't test them let me fix that.

Sorry empty seems to check if it exsists and is empty all in one hit.

PHP Code:

<?php
if(empty($_POST['form'])){
echo 'choose something';
}
else{
echo 'great choice!';
}
?>

However you might want to use

PHP Code:

<?php

if(!isset($_POST['button']) && $_POST['form'] == ""){
echo 'choose something';
}
else{
echo 'great choice!';
}  
?>

As empty returns true if $_POST["form"] is set to 0 for instance

If by how to write it properly you meant why doesn't my code work it's because you forgot a left paren right after the if.
