php help need (newbie)

[jango]

This is a outputs textfield that is mandatory to be filled in but I want it to be optional.
Thank you for you attention and help.

Code: [Select]

<label for="content-text-ta" class="required">Post Text (Required):
<br/>
</label>
<small>Allowable Tags: &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;table&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;sup&gt;</small>
<br/>
<textarea title="Post Text" rows="10" cols="40" name="content-text-ta" id="content-text-ta" ><?php if(isset($post_args["content-text-ta"])) {
echo $post_args["content-text-ta"];
} else { ?><?php } ?></textarea>

Would it be this?

Code: [Select]

<label for="content-text-ta" class="required">Post Text (Required):
<br/>
</label>
<small>Allowable Tags: &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;table&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;sup&gt;</small>
<br/>
<textarea title="Post Text" rows="10" cols="40" name="content-text-ta" id="content-text-ta" ><?php {
echo $post_args["content-text-ta"];
} ?></textarea>
