PHP - Confused

I want the following script to run attack_code.php when all the statements come back as being ok.. only issue is on the last line i do }else{ include("attack_code.php"); yet it runs the attack_code anyway, its rather odd as if i leave attack_code.php at the top of the page it shows the error messages of the statements below any clues?
Code: [Select]
<?php 
if($playerID == $defender) {
    echo "<div>You can't attack yourself.</div>";
include("exit.php");
exit;
}
/// below shows the noto forumla
$cashnoto = round($steal_amount / 100);
$drugnoto = round($steal_amount * 15);
?><br />
<?php

$sql = "SELECT * FROM messages WHERE to_username = '$defender_info[username]' AND from_username = '$playerdata[username]' AND type = 'Combat' ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1";
$que = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
$res = mysql_fetch_array($que);

$now = time();
$lastattack = strtotime($res['timestamp']);
$timesince = $now - $lastattack;

$nextatk = round((10800 - $timesince) / 60);

if($timesince < 10800){
    echo "You can only attack the same player once every 3 hours.<br><br> You can attack this player again in $nextatk minutes.";
include("exit.php");
exit;
}else{

$sql = "SELECT hits FROM users WHERE id = $playerID";
$que = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
$res = mysql_fetch_array($que);

$hits = $res['hits'];
if($hits < 1){
echo "You have no available hits. New hit allowances are granted every ten minutes on the :05's";
include("exit.php");
exit;
}else{
?>

Code: [Select]
//mod_KaLiTe_Subforums BEGIN
$forum_data['subforums'] .= "<a href=?z={$data[id]}>";
$forum_data['subforums'] .= $data['name'];
$forum_data['subforums'] .= "</a>";
//mod_KaLiTe_Subforums END
This shows all my subforums on my forum, but 1 problem, if I try to seperate them, like let's say with a "comma" by using:

Code: [Select]
//mod_KaLiTe_Subforums BEGIN
$forum_data['subforums'] .= "<a href=?z={$data[id]}>, ";
$forum_data['subforums'] .= $data['name'];
$forum_data['subforums'] .= "</a>";
//mod_KaLiTe_Subforums END
It will show the , BEFORE the link? so weird, here is the function:




Code: [Select]
$forum_data['subforums'] = "<br> <span class=desc4>Subforums:</span> ";
                foreach($this->children[ $forum_data['id'] ] as $idx => $data)
                {
                    //--------------------------------------
                    // Check permissions...
                    //--------------------------------------

                    if ( $std->check_perms($data['read_perms']) != TRUE )
                    {
                        continue;
                    }

                    // Do the news stuff first

                    if (isset($data['last_title']) and $data['last_id'] != "")
                    {
                        if ( ( $ibforums->vars['index_news_link'] == 1 ) and (! empty($ibforums->vars['news_forum_id']) ) and ($ibforums->vars['news_forum_id'] == $data['id']) )
                        {

                           $this->news_topic_id = $data['last_id'];
                           $this->news_forum_id = $data['id'];
                           $this->news_title    = $data['last_title'];

                        }
                    }

                    if ($data['last_post'] > $newest['last_post'])
                    {
//Subforum last_title?
                        $newest['last_post']        = $data['last_post'];
                        $newest['fid']              = $data['id'];
                        //$newest['id']               = $data['id'];
                        $newest['last_id']          = $data['last_id'];
                        $newest['last_title']       = $data['last_title'];
                        $newest['password']         = $data['password'];
                        $newest['last_poster_id']   = $data['last_poster_id'];
                        $newest['last_poster_name'] = $data['last_poster_name'];
                        $newest['status']           = $data['status'];
$newest['star']           = $data['star'];
                    }

                    $newest['posts']  += $data['posts'];
                    $newest['topics'] += $data['topics'];
                    $printed_children++;
//mod_KaLiTe_Subforums BEGIN
$forum_data['subforums'] .= "<a href=?z={$data[id]}>, ";
$forum_data['subforums'] .= $data['name'];
$forum_data['subforums'] .= "</a>";
//mod_KaLiTe_Subforums END

                }
How can I make it so it doesn't show the , before the FIRST link on that subforums variable, but only after every link and beyond?



Okay I got it working by moving it ontop

Code: [Select]
$forum_data['subforums'] .= "<a href=?z={$data[id]}>{$data['name']}</a>, ";
//mod_KaLiTe_Subforums END
                    $printed_children++;
but now it shows the , after the last link, how do I make it so it doesn't show the comma for the last child?

Hi

I'm trying to do a php website using notepad++ but when I save it and I test it out on a web browser it gives me my coding instead of a form.
How do I fix this.

Thank you

So just seen this http://www.ultramegatech.com/2009/07/using-mysql-prepared-statements-in-php/ from another topic, and am a bit confused now, I started coding a little while back, but did not get introduced to mysqli until very recently, should I change all my normal mysql queries to the mysqli prepared statements like in the website/tutorial stated? does this mean I won't have to use mysql_real_escape_string and it is more secure in general?

Would really like some input, much appreciated.

why does this code display this webpage? brandysstudioofdance.com/checkOut.php

Code: [Select]
<?php
