Question

i have an input field which will be displayed. i want that to hide when a variable from my php script is set.

i would like to know if that is possible. i know there is a way with

<input type="hidden">

but like i know there is just javascript to make this field visible. so i ask for other way round.

i have

<input type="text"> 

and would like to hide it with

<?php if(isset($var) && $var =="1"):?>

is there a way to realize that? thanks alot.

okay what i was looking for is:

<input type="<?php echo ($var === '1' ? 'hidden' : 'text'); ?>">

that is exactly what i need. another question: is there a way to implement that to a select option field? thanks.

Answer 1

Try:

If $var is = to 1 then set type attribute to hidden.

<input type="<?php echo ($var === '1' ? 'hidden' : 'text'); ?>">

Update:

Bad: <select style="display: <?php echo ($var === '1' ? 'hidden' : 'inline'); ?>;">
Good: <select style="display: <?php echo ($var === '1' ? 'none' : 'inline'); ?>;">
