well i have learned how to actually make better choices with the php and how
to display certain parts of a page rather than redo the whole page... so i
would have a certain web page with a table for example and the first row
shows a static text from a db.. lets say its a company name with a phone
number.. i found i can do:
<tr>
<td>
<?php echo "$company"; ?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php
if(!empty($phone)) {
?>
<tr>
<td>
<?php echo "$phone"; ?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php } else { echo ""}
//on with the table...
i have found that way works better for me on rewriting tables with the same
page... or is there better way... ?
