Submit Button only when no value present in field otherwise value shows

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to make this code snippet display the value or the button but not both. As you'll see there is a button for "Call_Attempt_One". I'm trying to have it only display when there is no value in the field but have the field value displayed when there is a value and have the button disappear.

Suggestions?? Thanks!

<td style='font-size:12px;width:500px;'><div style=\"overflow-x:auto; max-height:100px\">{$row['Project_Description']}</div></td>
<td style='font-size:12px;'><center>{$row['Restoration_Decision_Matrix']}</center></td>
<td style='font-size:12px;'><center>

    <form action='".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."' method='post'>
    <input type='hidden' id='ID' name='ID' value='{$row['ID']}' />
    <input type='submit' name='formCalledOne' id='formCalledOne' value='Called' />
    </form>
{$row['Call_Attempt_One']}

</center></td>
<td style='font-size:12px;'><center><button type=\"submit\" form=\"form1\" value=\"Submit\">Called</button></center></td>
<td style='font-size:12px;'><center><button type=\"submit\" form=\"form1\" value=\"Submit\">Called</button></center></td>
<td style='font-size:12px;'><center><button type=\"submit\" form=\"form1\" value=\"Submit\">Emailed</button></center></td>
<td style='font-size:12px;'><center>Text Area</center></td>
<td style='font-size:12px;'><center>{$row['Received_Date']}</center></td>
<td style='font-size:12px;'><center>

    <form action='".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."' method='post'>
    <input type='hidden' id='ID' name='ID' value='{$row['ID']}' />
    <input type='submit' name='formDelete' id='formDelete' value='Delete' />
    </form>


</center></td>
</tr>";

}

//Check to see if delete button is pressed
if(isset($_POST['formDelete']))
{
    if(isset($_POST['ID']) && !empty($_POST['ID']))
    {
        $ID = $_POST['ID'];
        $result = mysql_query("DELETE FROM Project_Submissions WHERE ID ='".$ID."'");
    }
}

Kindly clarify a little bit you are saying "when there is no value" you are referring to which value? — saqibahmad, May 12 '15 at 21:10
Sure, I mean in psuedo code if callattemptone field in database is empty show button. If callattemptone field already has value display that value and not the button — new2programming, May 13 '15 at 02:04
use following condition if($row['Call_Attempt_One'] ==""){// show button code}else{//echo $row['Call_Attempt_One']} for null please read this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8236354/php-is-null-or-empty — saqibahmad, May 13 '15 at 14:05

here is the code that I found to work in my question above. I fixed it myself and replaced these lines

if(isset($_POST['formDelete']))
{
    if(isset($_POST['ID']) && !empty($_POST['ID']))
    {
        $deleteID = $_POST['ID'];
        $result = mysql_query("DELETE FROM Project_Submissions WHERE ID ='".$deleteID."'");
    }
}

While this may answer the question it’s always a good idea to put some text in your answer to explain what you're doing. Read [how to write a good answer](http://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-answer). – Jørgen R May 13 '15 at 13:42
