Question

PHP Part is here So when I post it, else part does not work at all (meaning: the text I set just disappear), while the other half works (meaning: I can assign variables, but can’t leave it blank). I have been struggling with it all night…please help!
So this is the second page, if you need to take a look at the code on the first page, please let me know!

<?php
$lovers = $_POST['lovers'];
$quote = $_POST['quote'];
$color = $_POST['color'];
$font = $_POST['font'];
$imdblink = $_POST['imdblink'];
?>

<?php
if (isset($_POST['lovers']))  
    {
$lovers = $_POST['lovers'];
    }else{
        echo "P & M";
     }

if (isset($_POST['quote']))  
     {
        $quote = $_POST['quote'];
     }else{
        echo "I love you.";
     }

  if (isset($_POST['color']))  
     {
        $color = $_POST['color'];
     }else{
        echo "yellow";
     }

  if (isset($_POST['font']))  
     {
        $font = $_POST['font'];
     }else{
        echo "Futura";
     }

  if (isset($_POST['imdblink']))  
     {
        $imdblink = $_POST['imdblink'];
     }else{
        echo "http://www.imdb.com/";
     }
?>

Here is the HTML part: Is there anything wrong here? Please help!

<div class="artGroup slide">
  <div class="artwork"> <img src="../_images/M&P.png">
    <div class="detail">
      <div class="movie01c" style="font-family: <?php echo "{$font}"; ?>; font-size: 20px; color: <?php echo "{$color}";?>;">
     <?php echo "{$quote}";?>
      </div>
      <div class="movie01t"><a href="<?php echo "{$imdblink}";?>">
      <?php echo "{$lovers}";?>
      </a></div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Instead of using echo, use variable assignment too in the else part.

if (isset($_POST['lovers'])) {
    $lovers = $_POST['lovers'];
}else{
    $lovers = "P & M";
}
