Show static data if no data is there
<p>I have some data I am pulling from my URL and place it in my page. Right now this is what I have. </p>

<pre><code>&lt;?php 

if($_REQUEST['phone']==''){
    $value = "888-888-8888"
} else{
    $value = $_REQUEST['phone']
} 

echo '&lt;input type="text" value="'.$value.'" /&gt;'; 

?&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>So if you see I am trying to pull a phone number from the URL. Now if no phone number is there I want to place a static value. ex. 888-888-8888.</p>

<p>Right now I am getting this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/</p>

<p>Any help would be much appreciated. </p>
