PHP - If Statement Not Returning True
I have a statement
$account = $_SESSION['account_id']; $postedby = $account_id; /*both echo out to the same number*/ if($account == $postedby){ echo "DELETE BUTTON"; } i echo'ed out both $account and $postedby and both return 1 but the if statement fails to read as true. HELP!!! thanks in advance! Similar TutorialsI have an IF statement that is constantly returning TRUE, even when it shouldn't be. Basically it checks if an array is empty. Code: [Select] <?php $error = array(); //No blanks if ($street_addr == "" || $city == "" || $state == "" || $zip == "" || $phone1 == "" || $phone2 == "" || $phone3 == "" || $county == "") $error[] = "You left something blank!"; //validate zip if(!preg_match("/^[0-9]{5}$/", $zip)) $error[] = "The ZIP code must be a 5-digit number."; //validate phone number if (!is_numeric($phone1) || !is_numeric($phone2) || !is_numeric($phone3)) $error[] = "Phone can only contain digits"; if (strlen($phone1) < 3 || strlen($phone2) < 3 || strlen($phone3) < 4) $error[] = "Invalid phone number"; $count_errors = count($error); if ($count_errors > 0){ echo "ERROR:<br />"; foreach ($error as $err){ echo "-$err<br />"; } } else { //Other code } ?> So the first part of the IF statement is always executing. $count_errors DOES return 0 when printed out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! I am trying to take all the information from $results and input it into a text file, sometimes we get duplicates in $results so I want to check the text file for the entry before writing it in so we don't get duplicates in the text file. However inarray keeps returning false, even when I echo out the two arrays and they match? Code: [Select] $myfile = "complete.txt"; foreach ($results['info'] as $data) { $output=$fields['firstname']."|".$record['lastname']."|".$record['address']."|".$record['number']."\n"; $handle = fopen($myfile, "r"); $contents = fread($handle, filesize($myfile)); fclose($handle); $list = array(); $list = explode("\n",$contents); $list = array_map("trim", $list); $current = $output; echo in_array($current,$list) ? $current.' exists' : $current.' does not exist'; if (in_array($current,$list)) { print "duplicate"; } else { if($file=fopen($myfile, "a")) { //open file for writing fwrite($file, $output); //write to file } } } I had some code that I'm pretty sure used to work, basically something like the below. Code: [Select] if (preg_match("/[a-zA-Z0-9]+/", $_POST['title'])) { echo $_POST['title'];exit(); } Now i just don't get why it always returns true, even when entering special characters like "!#%?".. The only thing which comes to mind, is that i recently made a move to UTF-8.. *delurk! It had to happen sooner or later!* OK, I am totally and utterly stumped. I have this script: $this->clear_cache ($this->cache_dir, $this->cache_time); if ($this->cache_time > 0) { $current_page = $_SERVER ['REQUEST_URI']; $current_page_encoded = base64_encode($current_page); $current_page_path = $this->cache_dir . $current_page_encoded; if (file_exists($current_page_path)) { // see if there is still a file with the name of the current request URI after cache cleared $content = file_get_contents ($current_page_path); return $content; } } Basically, it is for checking if there is a cached version of the page before running the rest of the script, using the REQUEST_URI as the identifier. So it calls a function to clear the cache, which works fine (and I've tried just deleting the cache files manually anyway). Then it checks if we are even caching, i.e. if cache time is greater than 0. Then it uses the BASE64-encoded REQUEST_URI (under which name the file would have been cached previously) to check if a file with that name still exists in the cache dir, and if so loads it. Now, this works perfectly with a url like: mysite/myscript/mysubpage But when the page has parameters, like: mysite/myscript/mysubpage?search=widgets the file_exists function returns TRUE, even though the directory is empty. I did do a clearstatcache(); but it made no difference and anyway, it wouldn't explain why the URI with query string would fail while the regular one would not. And even if something is wrong with my code elsewhere, the fact is it is returning TRUE for a non-existent file. Can someone prevent my slide into insanity?! I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out a simple problem. I've got the following PHP code in an HTML page: $shutoff_date = strtotime($wkend_start_date) - 259200; if ($shutoff_date > $todays_date) { $current_month = date("m"); $current_year = date("y"); $freshman_eligible = 0; if ($current_month >= 2 && $current_month <=7) { $freshman_eligible = 1; } if ($current_month <= 7) { $seniors = $current_year ; } else {$seniors = $current_year + 1; } $juniors = $seniors + 1; $sophomores = $seniors + 2; $freshman = $seniors + 3; echo "HTML Stuff blah, blah, blah"; if ($freshman_eligible = 1) { echo "<option value=\"$freshman\">$freshman</option>";} } The last test to see if $freshman_eligible is equal to 1 is always testing true, and it's actually resetting $freshman_eligible to whatever I put inside the IF statement. No matter what the variable is set to previously, it will reset to whatever I test for in the last section, and hence always tests true. I thought maybe it was an issue with scope, but I'm not sure what the issue would be or how to resolve it. What am I missing??? Hey here is my code im trying to redirect the index.php to index.php?id=1 the way i have done it doesn't look really good is there a better way to do it please? im trying to redirect to id=1 because otherwise i wont be able to echo out anything... id 1 is default category so is there a way to tell it if $id is empty echo from id 1? <?php $id = $_GET['id']; if($id == ''){ echo "<meta http-equiv=Refresh content=0;url=index.php?id=1>"; } $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM pages WHERE id='$id' ",$connect); while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { echo $row['anything1']; echo $row['anything2']; } ?> Hi. I have a simple change password form, when checked and verified and submitted the user is directed to a different web page. I'm getting all the true statements echoed out, but it doesn't go to the go to the next web page. // Thank you Page $insertGoTo = "changepass.php"; header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo)); My thought was ounce you get through the while statement without errors you should be able to move to the next check of the actual database... which it does, and it updates the database with the new values. It also echos out Continue 6.... echo "True - Continue 6 GO TO HEADER PAGE"; // Thank you Page $insertGoTo = "changepass.php"; header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo)); What am I missing here?

Sorry to ask such a basic question but I just can't work it out, I have attached a screen shot of all me code, your help would be very very much appreciated. $looponce = 1; foreach ($this->info as $k => $v) { if ( (($k == 'subject') && ($v['required'])) && (!$this->settings['customSubject'])) { for ($i = 0; $i <= 0; $i++) { $output[] = $this->display_errors('error_system_subject'); } } if ( (($k == 'name') && (!$v['required'])) || ((!array_key_exists("name", $this->info)) && ($looponce == 1)) ) { $output[] = $this->display_errors('error_system_name'); $looponce++; } } That is my loop that i check things in. What i'm more interested in is the name if statement. If currently checks for a name key in an array(below) and makes sure that it is set to required. If it's not set to required, print out a system error and die()'s. I'm looking for ways to remove the need for program errors and just change them to what is needed to run. What i know how to do is, get into the inner array, what i don't know is how to edit the data and put it back exactly as it was given to me. The inner array data can be put back in any order, but the outer array must be in exact order as it was given. above code $this->info = $formdata; $formdata = array( 'name' => array('name'=>"Full Name", 'required'=>false, 'type'=>'text'), # This needs to be required=>true, but i can't trust the user, which is why i have the error. 'telephone' => array('name'=>"Telephone", 'required'=>false, 'type'=>'phone'), ); Any help is greatly appreciated, also am i doing the foreach loop in the code above in an efficient manner or is there another way? Apart from the fact this can cause an infinite loop is it OK to use? $user->reset_token = $user->generate_password(32); // Make sure the token is unique while(TRUE) { $count = ORM::factory('manager')->where('reset_token', '=', $user->reset_token)->count_all(); if($count < 1) break; $user->reset_token = $user->generate_password(32); } Or would you approach the logic for this differently? Thoughts appreciated. Cheers Is there any reason why I would want to use this... Code: [Select] $_SESSION['loggedIn'] = TRUE; versus this... Code: [Select] $_SESSION['loggedIn'] = 1; (The first one is easier to read...) Debbie I am wondering if these "true" values are the same to PHP... Code: [Select] <a href="' . BASE_URL . 'members/log_in.php?addComment=true">Log In</a> Code: [Select] if (isset($_GET['addComment']) && ($_GET['addComment']==TRUE)){ Debbie Just a silly question. I've been using 1 and 0 to tell if something is true or false, such as if a feature is enabled or not. I see that some use the words true and false. Is there a proper way or is either way correct? Thanks! <?php $id1 = '5' ; $id = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7); foreach($id as $value){ if($id1==$value){ echo 'One of them matches, ' ; echo 'Do not execute command <BR>' ; } ////// if ends here } ////// loop ends here ?> How to do something if all statements are false ? like when id $id1 = '10' , ? hi i have set 2 varibles, and want to echo them out if they are true, i have this script but doesnt work, please help. <?php $month=$_GET['month']; $year=$_GET['year']; If($year!=0 && $month!=0) { echo $month; echo $year; } ?> cheers matt Hi, Apologies if this is rather easy but wondered how you would get around the following problem. I have a post being sent on a checked form that has the name set to a value used in my DB, for example: Code: [Select] <input type="checkbox" name="<?PHP echo $rows ["catID"] ?>"> Where name would equal something like 11. I'm trying to right some code that inserts data from the rows that have been checked, bit like the below: Code: [Select] while($rows = $database->fetch_array($result)){ $strSQL='INSERT INTO affiliate_join_cat (ajcCatID, ajcAffID) VALUES ('.$rows["catID"].', '.$_POST["affID"].')'; if ($_POST($rows["catID"])=="on"){ $database->query($strSQL); so my post will look something like 11 = on, dependent on the row checked. But there is something wrong with this part of the code: Code: [Select] $_POST($rows["catID"])=="on" my thoughts are that until catID actually equals 11 this does not evaluate to anything? So have tried using empty and isset to handle it without any success. Not sure what to do next? Thanks in advance Hi Not that often I play with these (and normally just a single font I use). However I am trying to generate an image with a ttf bit of text on it. No problem using Tuffy.ttf (the normal one I use), but I want to use some arrow characters which it doesn't support. I have tried using Wingding and Webdings but neither work with GD. Am I missing something (hopefully something obvious)? All the best Keith so im trying this
$file is not a .txt file
if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && !is_dir("uploads/$fuser/$file") && (pathinfo("uploads/$fuser/$file", PATHINFO_FILENAME)!= "txt")
i tried this but doesnt work
<?php if('00' == '000') echo 'weired'; ?> Please consider the code above. Strangely it echoes the word "weired". Also if('00' == '000000000000000') returns true and so forth. What is really going on? Thanks in advance By the way the php version is 5.3.9 on wampserver 2.2 How do I execute display.php if condition is true? I have only included relevant code. $query = "SELECT * FROM airplanes WHERE ama='$ama'"; if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) { //print error message if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 1) { // execute display.php. How do I do this? I do plan on changing the 2 ifs to if/else |
