echo statement in form

Nov 3rd, 2008

Hello,

Below is a form redirect page. When the form is filled out the following will be seen on the redirect page. What I would like to do is hide the echos that aren't filled out.

Name: <?php echo $fullname; ?> 
Company: <?php echo $company; ?> 
Phone: <?php echo $phone; ?> 
Email: <?php echo $email; ?> 
Address: <?php echo $address; ?> 
City: <?php echo $city; ?> 
State: <?php echo $state; ?> 

So, for instance, if the name and company are filled out then I would like the redirect page to look like this:

Name: What ever is typed in
Company: What ever is typed in

Then I would like the other fields to be hidden.

Currently if the name and company are filled in then it looks like this:

Name: What ever is type in
Company: What ever is typed in
Phone:
Email:
Address:
City:
State:
