PHP - Loop In If And Switch Statement

when you build a switch, does it have to have a default case? If so, is there a way to get it to default to the first case instead of re posting the code in the default?

I have database that is a list of categories that I would like to insert into a switch statement.
This is the only way that I know how to do it right off hand and of course it doesn't work.
I've looked on the internet and found examples but they are slightly over my head as ways to do it.

Depending on $group which comes from the url a title an h1 would be assigned.

Code: [Select]
$q = "SELECT * FROM categories";
$r = @mysqli_query ($dbc, $q);
switch ($group)
{
if ($r) { //If $r ran OK
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($r, MYSQLI_ASSOC)){
case '$row['id_cat']': $h1 = '.$row['group']';
break;
}
}
}
Thanks

Hello Everyone,
I have to change the if statements to a switch statement, in this game. Can anyone help? Thanks.

var checkKeyPressed = function (e) {
// Press key A or key D to make dog run to the left or right
// The running speed is specified by the step variable, 10 by default.
// If you replace 10 with a larger integer, the dog will run faster.

    //press A, dog runs left
    if (e.keyCode == "65") {
        if (prex[0] > 5) {
            prex[0] = prex[0] - step;
        }
    }
    //press D, dog runs right
    if (e.keyCode == "68") {
        if (prex[0] < right) {
            prex[0] = prex[0] + step;
        }
    }
};

Hey guys, I have a mysql switch statement that shows different things based on the row value.

Here it is...

<?php
switch ($rows['icon']) {
    case 1:
        $picture = '<img src=\"img/apple.gif\" title=\"apple\" alt=\"apple\" />';
        echo $picture;
        break;
        
    case 2:
        $picture = '<img src=\"img/banana.gif\" title=\"banana\" alt=\"banana\" />';
        echo $picture;
        break;
        
    case 3:
        $picture = '<img src=\"img/orange.gif\" title=\"orange\" alt=\"orange\" />';
        echo $picture;
        break;
        
    default:
        echo "$rows[icon] is something other than 1 2 or 3";
        break;
}  
?>


Here is how the other code looks like.



<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');


mysql_connect("localhost", "", "")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("test")or die("cannot select DB");
$tbl_name="test_mysql";
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);

if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
    for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++){
        $month   = $_POST['month'];
        $date    = $_POST['date'];
        $message = $_POST['message'];
        $title   = $_POST['title'];
        $id      = $_POST['id'];
        $icon    = $_POST['icon'];         // ILYA
        $monthday= $month[$i]."<br>".$date[$i];
        $sql1="UPDATE $tbl_name 
                    SET monthday='$monthday', 
                        month='$month[$i]', 
                        date='$date[$i]', 
                        message='" . mysql_real_escape_string($message[$i]) . "', 
                        title='" . mysql_real_escape_string($title[$i]) . "',
                        icon='$icon[$i]'                        
                    WHERE id=".$id[$i];                        // ILYA

    if(!($result1 = mysql_query($sql1))){                   
        "<BR>Error UPDATING $tbl_name ";                              
        exit();                                             
        }                                                   
    }
}
$result=mysql_query($sql);
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);


?>

Dont mind the other UPDATE code its part of something else.

Anyways, why is the case automaticaly going to the last one... with the words: is something other than 1 2 or 3


Also, this is with multiple rows at once so I think that that may the problem...

Hi there,

I am working on a PHP web form.

There is simple textbox where users can enter countries.

If the user enters any of the European countries for example Spain, Germany or Italy then the web page must echo ' You entered a European country. The code I am using is:

switch ($txtCountry) { 
            case 'Germany' || 'Spain' || 'Belgium' || 'Cyprus' || 'Estonia': 
            echo "You entered a European Country";
            break; 

            case 'Japan': 
            echo "You entered a Far Eastern Country";
            break;                 

            default: 
            echo "Unknown Country";
            break; 
        }

Now the problem is even if I enter a different country like Japan, it goes to the first Case: i.e. 'You entered a European Country'

Whats the best way to use Switch case to check multiple values. Is my Syntax correct or do I need to use single quote of double quote here.

Please reply.

Thank you!

Is there a way to stop loop inside a switch or i must use if instead of switch?

Example:


<?php

for( $i = 0; $i < 10; $i++ )
{
switch( $i )
{
case 1:
break;

case 2:

// break from loop here

break;

case 3:
break;
}
}

?>


Thanks

I am trying to build this out in my head, but I am unsure of the correct way to do it.

I am running a sql query to pull info from the DB.  I already have it checking the number of rows with a if statement, but I need it to check to see if a particular row is empty.  If it is empty it needs to echo out one thing and if not another.  But I also need it to run the loop till it ends with all the info from the DB is out.  I am having it check to see if there is an image path in the row.  If not have it echo the HTML without the image path and if so, have it included.  but some results may or may not have an image so it needs to display both not one or the other.

Here's my code.  I am pretty sure I have this structured wrong (Well, I know it's wrong cause it doesn't run):

Code: [Select]

<?php

$sql = "select * from tbl_tribue where letter = '$_GET[letter]' order by letter asc";
$result = mysql_query($sql,$conn);
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);

if ($num_rows=="0") {
echo "<p>No pet tributes for the letter.</p>";

    } else {




while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$petname = $row['petname'];
$desc = $row['description'];
$family = $row['familyname'];
$img = $row['imgpath'];


if ($img="") {

echo <<<END

<div>
<p><strong>$petname</strong><br />
$desc<br />
<em>- $family</em></p>
</div>

END;
}  
} else {

echo <<<END

<div>
<img src="$img" class="photoWithBorder2" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;" />
<p><strong>$petname</strong><br />
$desc<br />
<em>- $family</em></p>
</div>

END;
}
}

?>


I left out the DB info.  Anyways, I am I close or WAY off the mark?  Thanks for any help!

Hi,

Im building a custom theme for wordpress and i need some help with a loop, its not wordpress specific code just a general if and loop. heres what i have.

Code: [Select]
$pages = get_pages('parent=0&sort_column=menu_order');
if ($pages) {
$output='';
  foreach ($pages as $page) {
  if($page->post_status=='publish'){
  $output.='<li class=top><a href="'.$page->guid.'" class=top_link><span>'.$page->post_title.'</span></a>';

$sub_pages = get_pages( 'child_of ='. $page->ID);
   if ($sub_pages){
 
    foreach ($sub_pages as $sub_page) {
  if($sub_page->post_status=='publish'&& $sub_page->post_parent== $page->ID)
  {
  if($sub_page->guid==" ")
  {
 
  }
  else
  {
$output.='<ul class=sub>';
$output.='<li><a href="'.$sub_page->guid.'">'.$sub_page->post_title.'</a></li>';
$output.='</ul>';
  }
  }
}

  }}
    $output.='</li>';
  }
}
What im trying to do is only echo <ul class=sub> and the inside <li> if there is something in sub_page guid. I managed to build this code and it works, but i need to move the <ul></ul> outside of the loop so it doesnt repeat over and over again, but i also dont want it being echoed if sub_page->guid is empty

sorry for my poor explanation im doing the best i can.

Thanks in advance for any help

Hi

My PHP skills aren't that good but I know what I want to do as I have used other programming languages before.

I run a WordPress website about a Church and its Cemetery. I have been researching the graves for the last 2 years and have added each grave to the website via a Custom Post Type with the buried occupants.

In WordPress I have used a plugin called Advanced Custom Fields and have set each grave to allow at least 5 people buried there.

So the following code below is used to check if the fields have any value which would represent each person in that grave and add it to the page. I don't know how to add it as a database table so this is the easiest way I could think of.

echo '<div id="section-grave">';
echo "<h3>Who's buried in this Grave?</h3>";
//echo '<p>Listed below, are the people buried in this grave.</p>';
if(get_field('is_burial_date_known')) {
    // start For Loop
    for ($x = 1; $x <= 5; $x += 1) {
        $name_of_deceased = 'name_of_deceased_' . $x;
        $burial_date = 'burial_date_' . $x;
        $clergy_name = 'clergy_name_' . $x;
        if(get_field($name_of_deceased)) {
           echo '<p>' . $x . ') ' . get_field($name_of_deceased) . '</p>'; 
        }
        if(get_field($burial_date)) {
           echo '<p>Burial Date: ' . get_field($burial_date) . '</p>'; 
        }
        if(get_field($clergy_name)) {
           echo '<p>Buried By: ' . get_field($clergy_name) . '</p>';
           echo '<hr>';
        }
    } // end For Loop
} else {
     echo '<p>Nobody buried here.</p>';
}
echo '</div>';

I want to add a paragraph above which I have commented out to show how many people are buried in that grave. So if it was only one person then it should say 1 person as oppose to people. So I need a way of counting the names but I can't see a way how to do it.

It will probably based on an IF...Elseif...Else statement and which ever condition is right it just displays the correct line or paragraph. I need a way of counting thetotal number of people per grave but outputting the total relies on the loop which is after the paragraph or line.

I hope I have explained it properly so can anyone see how I can do it please?

Hello!

I am going to end up ending with many If-Else statements so I'm hoping someone can change this into a for loop for me, I will learn this way too

Code: [Select]
if(empty($_GET['start']))
 {
    $active_1_20 = 'active';
    $limit_by = 'LIMIT 0,20';
    $rank = 1;
 }
 elseif($_GET['start']==21)
 {
    $active_21_40 = 'active';
    $limit_by = 'LIMIT 20,40';
    $rank = 21;
 }
 elseif($_GET['start']==41)
 {
    $active_41_60 = 'active';
    $limit_by = 'LIMIT 40,60';
    $rank = 41;
 }
 elseif($_GET['start']==61)
 {
    $active_61_80 = 'active';
    $limit_by = 'LIMIT 60,80';
    $rank = 61;
 }

You can see the obvious pattern, next one will be elseif($_GET['start']==81) and I want it to end to elseif($_GET['start']==501)

Much appreciated anyone!

Thanks.

If I have code that looks something like this:

<?php
$t = array('one','two','three','_four','_five','_six');
$u = 'five';
foreach ($t as $v) {
if (substr($v,0,1) != '_') { // if begins with an underscore, remove it, unless it is equal to _$u
echo $v.'<br />';
}
}
?>

I am trying to take out all array items that begin with an underscore except the one that is equal to this..

_five

something like

$v == '_'.$u

So what should be echoed is this:

one
two
three
_five

Is there any way to do this with only an if, and not an if/else??

Thanks..

Object-  Take array of IP addresses and add up all occurrences of a particular IP address. 



//$item is an array of IP addresses

foreach ($item as $key => $unique_ip)
{
         if($unique_ip == $ip) 
                                                 $a++;
}
echo $a;

I get a blank page.  What am I missing?

After it goes through the while loop its supposed to take the ID of the first one in the loop and find out its awardType and then with the awardType variable go through the the if statement. After it displays it the code that fits the awardType variable then it gets the second item in the while loop and then with the ID of the second item takes it back to get the  awardType and then goes back through the if statement again. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. As of right now all its doing is displaying its awardName and a blank dropdown.

As the title says, I'm looking for a better way to create a switch statement on an "edit" form.
Since there are 3 of the same types of <selects>, all using the values of US states. Billing state, shipping state, drivers license state.

Currently I am using this:

switch($row['pri_add4']){
