The empty portion needs to be inside the parentheses. Also double quotes are needed to make the vairable parse correctly into the value you want to see if (!empty($beefolives)) { echo "Order: beefolives $beefolives\n";} -- Bastien Bastien Thank you for your response, and I agree, I like simpler. Your script however did not work in the email message, it did work in another section where I echo to screen the information to the screen. Does the echo command work in emails? Thank you again.
