PHP echo no text if $name is not filled in or == 0 else echo $name
For example here's what I have:
<?php
if ($name == 0)
{
echo $name;
}
else
{
echo "Nothing here.";
?>

Don't forget the closing brace for `echo "Nothing here.";` - Plus, where is `$name` being defined? Your question in unclear. – Funk Forty Niner Jan 16 '15 at 03:43

<?php
if (empty($name))
{
echo "Nothing here.";
}
else
{
echo $name;
}
?>
empty() -> Gives True if ist emty!

1Um... do read the manual again. I know it very well, and it's not `is_emty` nor `emty` – Funk Forty Niner Jan 16 '15 at 03:48

The syntax is `bool empty ( mixed $var )` and not `bool emty ( mixed $var )` – Funk Forty Niner Jan 16 '15 at 03:51

1You're welcome. I chose not to submit an answer based on the question being unclear, because we have no indication as to where `$name` is being defined, nor do we know if the value is based on an integer, or a string, or from a form, who knows. We shall wait for the OP's response to your answer. Technically, you are correct, however I rather wait for the OP to respond to my comment left under the question. – Funk Forty Niner Jan 16 '15 at 03:56

check if this is working:
<?php
if ($name == 0)
{echo "Nothing here";}
else
{echo $name;}
?>

See this php is null or empty?
The code should be
<?php
if ($name === NULL) {
echo "Nothing here.";
} else {
echo $name;
}
?>

Why not try
<?php
echo empty($name)? 'Nothing here.' : $name;
?>
empty() return true means $name is null, 0 or not defined.
