Gday,

I'm working on a thank you message and wanted to include a php if else statement.

<?php
if ({PreferedName} != "") {
echo {PreferedName};
} else {
echo {FirstName};
}
?>
This doesn't output anything, however the input fields all work outside the code.


<?php
$PN="{PreferedName}";
$FN="{FirstName}";

if ($PN != "") {
echo $PN;
} else {
echo $FN;
}
?>
Still no joy...

Any clues?

Thank you kindly

Hello rickozaccess,
I'm not a Chrono professional, but after checking your new post, I think that the following links may help:
How can I make my PHP portable to another site?
How can I use the form data with PHP?
P.S: I'm just an automated service😉

Based on the Bots reply, I have tried:

<?php
if ($form->data['PreferedName'] != "") {
  echo $form->data['PreferedName'];
} else {
  echo $form->data['FirstName'];
}
?>

Still no joy...

Thank you

Hi rickozaccess,

Your PHP looks good to me. Please drag a Debugger action into the On Submit event, then submit the form and post the debug - including the 'dummy emails' results here.

Note: if you are using the Easy Wizard you can turn on Debug on the Others tab in CFv4 or the Setup tab in CFv5.

Gday GreaHead,

Thank you for your help.

From your reply I decided to add the script to the 'emails' as I was using it in the 'Thank you message'.

The code works for the emails, but not for the 'Thank you message'.

You can see the error on the attached image 'thankyou.jpg'.

The following is the code for the thank you message complete.

<div class="container" style="margin: 20px; 0 80px 0;">
<h2>Thank you for your question</h2>
<br />
<div class='cTitle'>
<h4>Hello 
<?php
if ($form->data['PreferedName'] != "") {
    echo $form->data['PreferedName'];
} else {
    echo $form->data['FirstName'];
}
?>
,</h4>
</div>
<br />

The following is the debug info.

I can not see anything useful in the debug ino.

Thank you again for your time.

Evening Grey Head,

Thank you for the work around, it works!
Kind regards, enjoy your coffee...
