Show column based on value of other column

Hi,
I have a number of different types of products/events bookings to put into one shopping cart, along with two different price structures (member and non-member).

I can show regions according to logged in/not logged in rules, which deals with my price structures (I've sorted out the calculations, so that's all ok - it's a manual cart) but can't work out how to hide columns that are used/not used for different products.

Here's the main one:

Booking Camping: This needs to show these columns: Number of People AND Number of Nights
Booking Dinner: This needs to show only the column: Number of People

It seems it would be best to add a Table for Product Type, with ProductTypeID column (say, 1 for Camping, 2 for Dinner and so on) and use the ProductTypeID to determine whether the Number of Nights column shows.

Am I on the right track, and if so, how would I code that rule/instruction please?

Thanks
Sylvia

The productType column can be in the same product table.

Make sure it is included in the select statement of the recordset used to populate the page.

then you can add an if statement around the content to display:

<?php if($row_recordsetName['ProductTypeID'] == "1" || $row_recordsetName['ProductTypeID'] == "2") { ?>
Show Number of People
<?php } ?>
<?php if($row_recordsetName['ProductTypeID'] == "1") { ?>
Show Number of Nights
<?php } ?>
