I have a field in mysql db called website - not all companies have them, so may be empty. I tested by setting up one entry as having a site that I know works, but when I try this, the category page show the paragraph returns for the empty fields, but doesn't echo the website field.

Code: 
		 if (empty($row['website'])) {
   			 echo "<p>&nbsp;</>";
			} 
			else echo "<a href=\"[URL unfurl="true"]http://{$row[/URL]['website']}\">" . $row['website'] . "</a>";

Ideas?

thanks,
donna

could you try with the full syntax please
Code: 
if (empty($row['website'])) {
  echo "<p>&nbsp;</>";
} else { 
  echo <<<HTML
   <a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://{$row[/URL]['website']}">{$row['website']}</a>
HTML;
}

Your code works for me as is, so I guess the thing to check would be that the actual field "website" is being returned by your query.

Can we see some more code, like the query and the place where the $row variable is being set.

I'd forgotten braces in the else, and in the end, jpadie had a more elegant solution to show it all. It worked fine before I added the else when testing (I was echoing a silly statement to view).

Works fine now.

Appreciate all the help and input.
