Hi Peter,

Thank you for replying first of all, I've just posted a reply to Martin,
with what I have been trying using the if statement. But I'm unable to get
it to work. Would you mind enlightening me on what I have been doing wrong?
I haven't been working with php for very long, so any guidance would be very
gratefully received.

Best wishes,
Linda
