I have this code, which is basically a form for inputting and another for editing. As you can see I have made one part a comment as I want just the edit part to control the input and edit, which is shown at the very beginning with write case, and the seperate edit case, all I need to complete it is the part that I have highlighted in purple/bold.
Does anybody have any help?

Here is the completed code, but I still have a problem the page is coming up with an error:

Here is my dilemma.

I'm trying to get the "class name" to return instead of the number that is associated with it.

I wrote a switch so that each of the 16 cases would be associated with what the class name is.

However, how do I make it output into my statement?

Here is what I have so far:


function getClassByNumber($x){
switch($x){
case 1: return "Alchemist";
case 2: return "Assassin";
case 3: return "Dark Arts";
case 4: return "Dark Paladin";
case 5: return "Entertainer";
case 6: return "Hunter";
case 7: return "Mage";
case 8: return "Monk";
case 9: return "Paladin";
case 10: return "Pirate";
case 11: return "Priest";
case 12: return "Psion";
case 13: return "Scholar";
case 14: return "Thief";
case 15: return "Warlock";
case 16: return "Warrior";
}
}

$class = getClassByNumber($username->class);

echo You are now a $class.


Username is defined as seeking the table I want. Class is the field where the number is stored.

Thanks!

i know theres a way but i just forget. i want to do a switch function.

Code: [Select]
switch ($_GET['page']) {
    case 0:
        include 'page';
        break;
    case 1:
        include 'page1';
        break;
    case 2:
        include 'page2';
        break;
    default:
        include 'page';
}
?>
just like that but if there is no $_GET page i just want it to do the default. instead of doing if isset GET page do switch else default page. i just want it to be simpler by doing something like switch(isset$_GET etc.

As far as it goes for me I have the switch() working, but not to what im trying to do. This is for a "media" page where I have 3 different categories "Music", "Videos" and "Photos". I'm trying to get it so when you goto the "Media" page it will show just the 3 categories, that section works but it is also showing the sub categories for all them categories. So for what im trying to do is when viewing the "media" page, it will display the 3 categories, then when selecting the category it will display the "sub categories". and then when you select the "sub category" it will display the contents of that "sub category"

should i be trying to do this a different way? or do i have something wrong here? lol

here is my switch() code
Code: [Select]
<?php
 $cat = (isset($_GET["m_cat"])) ? (intval($_GET["m_cat"])) : 0;
 switch($_GET["b"]=="true")
{
default :
if("/ffy/media.php"==$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])
{
echo "Select a Category";
}

case "false":
if($_GET["m_cat"]==$cat)
{

echo "<font size='3'>";
$dcat = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM media_sub_cat WHERE m_cat=$cat")
or die("mySQL Query Failed: " .mysql_error());

while($catrow = mysql_fetch_array($dcat)) {
list($id, $m_sub_cat, $m_cat) = $catrow;

echo ": <font class='myFont'><a href='media.php?b=true&cat=".$m_cat."&subcat=".$m_sub_cat."'>".$m_sub_cat."</a></font> ";
}
echo ":</font>";
echo "Work Damb You";
}
break;

case "true":
if($_GET["cat"]==$cat && $_GET["subcat"]==$m_sub_cat)
{

echo "Weird...";

}
break;
}

Hi all,
I am creating a switch page which will be acting as more of an index page for the different php files I have in my project. I have seven different pages and, I am a bit stuck as to what the order is and where the codes should go.
I have got this far as is shown below:

mysql_select_db("project1", $con);

if ($_GET['action']=='delete_ok' and or){

}elseif ($_GET['action']=='edit_ok'){

}


switch($_GET['action']){
   case 'delete_ok':
#########Delete OK Start#################

//echo '<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;URL=switch.php">';

   break;

        echo "</tr>";
        }
      echo "</table>";

      echo "<a href='write.php'>Insert</a>";



}

mysql_close($con);
?>

the file names a
delete_write.php- deletes the data
display.php- displays the data
edit_write.php- editing the info
edit_write_ok.php- edits on the database and shows on display.php
write.php- this is the input page
write_input.php- this inputs the data from write.php into the main database

any help would be much appreciated.

MOD EDIT: code tags added.

Hi,

I am trying to use switch to select from different options, but i only am able to get the == value displayed and never the != value:

switch ($judgement){
    case $a == $b:
        echo Same  <br>"; break; 
case $c != $d:
        echo "Different  <br>"; break;  } 

What am i doing wrong please?

Is there anything in php that let's me SWAP  2 arrays?

like let's say I have

3,2,1  in a array,

is there a way I can swap the 2 and 1 if a statement is true?

Hello everyone from a php newbie,
I have a option selections box and need to select an action depending on the results.
Its for an insert script for items into a Database and depending on the chosen option it add the picture to the DB table
The selection options are

<select name="extension" style="font-size:18px"><option value="pdf">PDF</option><option value="zip">ZIP</option><option value="powerpoint">PowerPoint</option></select>

the Swtich is

 switch $_POST['extention']{
              case 'zip':
              echo $insert_image = $_POST['extension'].'winzip.gif';
              break;
              case 'powerpoint':
              echo $insert_image = $_POST['extension'].'ppt.gif';
              break;
              default:
              echo $insert_image = $_POST['extension'].'products/pdf.gif';
              }


Would someone please tell me if this is correct syntax?
Or have i got it horribly wrong!

Thank you for your a help

So, I'm working on making my code a little prettier.
Previously, if I wanted to do 3 different things, I would create 3 different php pages for those three different things.

For Example:
<form action="user_add.php">
<form action="user_edit.php">
<form action="user_delete.php">
This would usually be 6 different pages. (3 "gui" pages and 3 php pages that performed specific actions)

So, I've decided to create 1 specific page called "actions.php"
Using a switch.case variable named $request
This will allow me to achieve the following:
<form action="actions.php?request=userAdd">
<form action="actions.php?request=userEdit">
<form action="actions.php?request=userDelete">

My actions page looks like this:
Code: [Select]
<?php
include("connectDB.php");
$request=$_GET['request'];

switch ($request)
{
case "userDelete":
echo "delete";
break;
case "userEdit":
echo "edit";
break;
case "userAdd":
echo "add";
break;
}
?>

Now, assume I access the page that allows me to add a new user. The form action would look like this: <form action=actions.php?request=userAdd>
When I click on the submit button, I would see the words "add" on the page. Perfect, good job, yay me.

Now, assume I add the following code block into the "userAdd" case
Code: [Select]
<?php
...
case "userAdd":
// Get values from form
$username=$_POST['username'];
$password=$_POST['password'];
$email=$_POST['email'];

// Insert data into mysql
$sql="INSERT INTO $tbl_users(username, password, email)VALUES('$username', '$password', '$email')";
$result=mysql_query($sql);

// if successfully insert data into database, displays message "Successful".
if($result)
{ echo "Successful"; }
else 
{ echo "ERROR"; }

echo $previous_page;
break;
?>This works perfectly. Good job, yay me!

Now assume I change the case block to look like this:
Code: [Select]
<?php
...
case "userAdd":
adduser();
break;
}

function adduser()
{
// Get values from form
$username=$_POST['username'];
$password=$_POST['password'];
$email=$_POST['email'];

// Insert data into mysql
$sql="INSERT INTO $tbl_users(username, password, email)VALUES('$username', '$password', '$email')";
$result=mysql_query($sql);

// if successfully insert data into database, displays message "Successful".
if($result)
{ echo "Successful"; }
else 
{ echo "ERROR"; }

echo $previous_page;
}
?>This doesn't work. WHY? If I change the adduser() function to echo "hello world"; I would see "hello world", but when I attempt to copy and paste the block of code (that works in the switch case statement) into the function, it stops working. (It prints nothing)

Now, I don't even know if this is the correct place to put this. Last time I had a mysql database error and my thread was moved here, even though I knew it wasn't a php error. So, if this is the wrong section, I apologize - but I assume it falls under both a mysql and php problem.

Hello,

How can i switch between the 2 lines below in my function. At the moment the bottom line is ignored:

/* Determine if user is logged in */
$this->logged_in = $this->checkLogin();
   
 /* Determine if client is logged in */
$this->logged_in_Client = $this->checkLoginClient();





Code: [Select]
function startSession(){
      global $database;  //The database connection
      session_start();   //Tell PHP to start the session

      /* Determine if user is logged in */
     $this->logged_in = $this->checkLogin();

/* Determine if client is logged in */
$this->logged_in_Client = $this->checkLoginClient();


      if($this->logged_in){
         $database->addActiveUser($this->username, $this->time);
      }
 
  if($this->logged_in_Client){
         $database->addActiveClient($this->clientname, $this->time);
      }
     
      /* Set referrer page */
      if(isset($_SESSION['url'])){
         $this->referrer = $_SESSION['url'];
      }else{
         $this->referrer = "/";
      }

      /* Set current url */
      $this->url = $_SESSION['url'] = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
   }

Can you use a Switch() statement to effectively check for codes like this...
Code: [Select]
PASSWORD_USER_NOT_LOGGED_IN
I have about 5 codes that need to be checked in order to display different outcome messages...

Would it be better to use an IF-THEN-ELSEIF instead?


Debbie

can i do something like this?

Code: [Select]
<?php
switch ($i) {
    case 0:
        echo "i equals 0";?>
////////////// html stuff ////////
<?php
        break;
    case 1:
        echo "i equals 1"; ?>
///////////////////html stuff//////////////
<?php
