如何在一个字段数组中删除空响应？

Question

I've got a PHP script to take answers from a referral form and send it by email to my client (below). The client has now asked that only questions that have been answered be sent to them. How can I strip out the fields that are empty from the email?

Answer 1

Check whether the field is empty before adding it to the mail.

foreach($fields as $a => $b) {
    if (!empty($_REQUEST[$a])) {
        $body .= sprintf("%20s:%s
",$b,$_REQUEST[$a]);
    }
}
