Hello,
I am using contact form 7 and have a long form with lots of text fields. I am looking for a way to only show fields that the user fills out in the email. I came across this link:
But it does not quite work for me because I have my email body set up like this:
<table>
<tr style="border:1px solid;">
<th style="background:#000; color:#fff;">Item</th>
<th style="background:#000; color:#fff;">Qty</th>
</tr>
<tr style="border:1px solid #ccc;">
<td>Aerobic Culture Swab</td>
<td>[AerobicCultureSwab]</td>
</tr>
<tr style="border:1px solid #ccc;">
<td>Alcohol Prep Pad</td>
<td>[AlcoholPrepPad]</td>
<tr style="border:1px solid;">
<tr>
So i need the parent tr to hide if the field is empty. Any suggestions?
I hope that makes sense.

if ($variable != " ") {
<tr style="border:1px solid;">
<th style="background:#000; color:#fff;"><?php echo $variable; ?></th>
</tr>
}
