PHP - Elseif Not Working - Any Idea Why?

Hi there

I am never the one to use something I don't simply understand but I was wondering if you could help me through why an errors occuring with my first attempt at a very primative MVC.

Ok I understand them as being somewhat Model (data whether that be a database or a file system it's just data!), View is the way the page is assembled in (ZF that would be also the Layout right?) and then finally Controller (that handles all the user known and unknown requests), the controller is responsible for sending any responses back to the user, would you ever have view take the data from the model or would it always go via the controller? I know it wouldn't get output to the user as they may never understand it in it's raw form.

But this is what I have come up with from this tutorial he http://php-html.net/tutorials/model-view-controller-in-php/

This is what I have done in I think completion:

index.php:
Code: [Select]
<?php

// NOT TO BE SHOWN IN A PRODUCTIONAL APPLICATION ALWAYS USE FALSE WHEN IN A PRODUCTIONAL SERVER!
ini_set('display_errors', true);

// We require the class for this to work so we do so using the require_once construct:
require_once 'Controller.php';

// We ask for an object to be created of class/blueprint Controller but with no parameters
$controller = new Controller();

// We then make invoke action as a function within Controller class
$controller->invoke();

Controller.php:
Code: [Select]
<?php

require_once 'Model.php';

class Controller {
  
  public $model;
  
  public function __construct()
  {
    
$this->model = new Model();

  }
  
  
  public function invoke() {
  
    if(!IsSet($_GET['book']))
{

  $books = $this->model->getBookList();
  require 'booklist.php';
  
} else {
  
  $book = $this->model->getBook($_GET['book']);
  include 'viewbook.php'; // we could actually include this as one file though right?
  
}

  }

}
Model.php:
Code: [Select]
<?php
require_once 'Book.php';

class Model {

  public function getBookList()
  {
  
    return array('Jez\'s Great Book!'=> new Book('Jez\'s Great Book!', 'The best book on the planet about MVC\'s'),
             'PHP5 and MySQL Bible'=> new Book('My most enterprising PHP and dynamic page content book ever!'));
  
  }
  
  public function getBook($title)
  {
    $allbooks = $this->getBookList();
return $allbooks[$title];
  }
}
Book.php:
Code: [Select]
<?php

class Book {

  public $title;
  public $author;
  
  public function __construct($title='', $author='')
  {
    $this->title = $title;
$this->author = $author;
  }
}
booklist.php:
Code: [Select]
<?php

foreach($books as $title=>$book){
  echo "<pre>";
  echo '<a href="index.php?book='.$book->title.'">$book->title</a>';
  echo "</pre>";
  
}

viewbook.php
Code: [Select]
<?php

echo $book->title;
echo $book->author;

It's not the same as the tutorial exactly but I just wanted to see if I could get it working, the only problem is (I mean my sample data's just for the fun of it), however when I go to see the booklist.php

The problem I am having is how to understand it getting the values into the list, when it says the 2nd one's basically not an index, does this come up for yourselves?

I am just a bit confused, happy though kind of got this working, thank you in advance,
Jeremy.

Hi
First of all, I know VERY little about PHP, The effort below is a wile guess that has gone wrong. I get this error Parse error: syntax error,

unexpected T_IF in /home/repairyo/public_html/shop/includes/content/viewOrders.inc.php on line 57

I have no idea what ive done wrong, may be I am stupid for attempting it.

Cheers
Paul

This is the original code
Code: [Select]
$view_orders->assign('VAL_STATE',$lang['glob']['orderState_'.$orders[$i]['status']]);
This is the modified code

Code: [Select]
$view_orders->assign('VAL_STATE',$state = $results[$i]['status']
                         if ($state == '1') {
"<font color='#ff9900'>".$lang['glob']['orderState_'.$results[$i]['status']]."</font>";
  } else if ($state == '2') {
"<font color='#009900'>".$lang['glob']['orderState_'.$results[$i]['status']]."</font>";
  } else if ($state == '4') {
"<font color='#cc0000'>".$lang['glob']['orderState_'.$results[$i]['status']]."</font>";
  } else if ($state == '5') {
"<font color='#cc0000'>".$lang['glob']['orderState_'.$results[$i]['status']]."</font>";
  } else if ($state == '6') {
"<font color='#cc0000'>".$lang['glob']['orderState_'.$results[$i]['status']]."</font>";
  } else if ($state == '7') {
"<font color='#ff9900'>".$lang['glob']['orderState_'.$results[$i]['status']]."</font>";
  } else {
$lang['glob']['orderState_'.$orders[$i]['status']]); }

I am  a novice and had this code below working fine until I added the If / elseif to "plan_id".  Prior, the column would just list out the numbers from the database, but I want the numbers to echo out the text. Any help is appreciated.

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
    
     $bg = ($bg=='#ffffff' ? '#e7e8e8' : '#ffffff'); //For Alternate Row Colors
   
   echo '<tr bgcolor="' . $bg . '"><td>' . $row['customers_firstname'] . " " . $row['customers_lastname'] . '</td><td>' . date("M. d, Y", strtotime($row['date'])) . '</td><td>' . if ($row['plan_id'] == 1) {
   echo "1 DVD";
   }
   elseif ($row['plan_id'] == 2) {
   echo "2 DVDs";
   }
   else {
   echo "3 DVDs";
   }
   . '</td></tr>';}
      echo '</table>';
      echo '<br />';

hi everybody,

every time i asked a question here, i got quick and perfect answers. now i am back again with one 
i have a simple form which updates some fields in a mysql table. everything works fine, am just trying to convert numbers posted through the form into words on the update page and it is not working 
for example:
the form sends score to the update page, it is either 1, 2 or 3
all i want is that if the score on the form page was 1 then it should update the field in the table with the value "Low" if 2 then "Average" if 3 then "High"
the reason is that i dont want the user to select 1,2 or 3 and also low, average and high. so i can simply recieve 1,2 or 3 and update 2 fields at the same time.
i tried it with elseif, it doesn't work 
my code is as follows:


<?

if($_POST['Submit']){ 

$host="mysql";
$db_user="me"; 
$db_password="mypassword"; 
$database="mydb"; 
mysql_connect($host,$db_user,$db_password);
mysql_select_db($database);

$result=mysql_query("SELECT id FROM mytable ORDER BY id ASC");

while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){

$name=$_POST["name_".$row[id]];
$lastname=$_POST["lastname_".$row[id]];
$email=$_POST["email_".$row[id]];
$score=$_POST["score_".$row[id]]; // this is where i don't simply want to update the record
// with the $_POST, rather convert the number into aplhabets, i.e. 1=Low, 2=Average and 3=High


mysql_query("UPDATE mytable SET name='$name', lastname='$lastname', email='$email', score='$score' where id='$row[id]'");
}
echo "--- Update Complete ---";
}
?>

the following is the contents of my index.php file

if (isset($_GET['topic'])) {

include 'modules/pages/posts.php';

} elseif (isset($_GET['forum'])) {

include 'modules/pages/topics.php';

} elseif (isset($_GET['parent'])) {

include 'modules/pages/parents.php';

} elseif (isset($_GET['do']) == 'unanswered') {

include 'modules/pages/unanswered.php';

} elseif (isset($_GET['do']) == 'today') {

include 'modules/pages/today.php';

} else {

include 'modules/pages/forums.php';

}

as you can see depending on what the get value is it loads a corrosponding page.

however on the last 2 statements it loads the same page index.php?do=unanswered. why wont it load index.php?do=today when the $_GET value == today?

is there a better way of coding this using arrays? ive never had a use for them b4
the if and the else statment is ok but its the elseif that i think i can put into an array ut what i tryed didnt work.

what id like to do
Code: [Select]
$loc = array('HDD', 'APRIL 2011', 'WHITE VISTA',  'NEW 1.5 TB', 'UNVALIDATED')

elseif($rows['auth'] == 'YES' and $rows['location'] == $loc){
$bgc = "wait" ; 



what works
Code: [Select]
if    ($rows['auth'] == 'YES' and $rows['location'] == 'SERVER'){
$bgc = "pass" ; }

elseif($rows['auth'] == 'YES' and $rows['location'] == 'HDD'){
$bgc = "wait" ; 

}elseif($rows['auth'] == 'YES' and $rows['location'] == 'APRIL 2011'){
$bgc = "wait" ; 

}elseif($rows['auth'] == 'YES' and $rows['location'] == 'WHITE VISTA'){
$bgc = "wait" ; 

}elseif($rows['auth'] == 'YES' and $rows['location'] == 'NEW 1.5 TB'){
$bgc = "wait" ; 

}elseif($rows['auth'] == 'YES' and $rows['location'] == 'UNVALIDATED'){
$bgc = "wait" ; 

}else{
$bgc = "fail"; }
thanks

it should be pretty simple. if member type == Gold or silver echo from a
if $member== client echo form b.

the query is working as i can echo out $member and display the member type before the if statement.
after the if statement no variables will echo out.

Gold is with a capital G and silver is not in the database.

Code: [Select]
$data=mysql_query(" SELECT * FROM members WHERE email='$myusername' and password='$mypassword'")or die (mysql_error());
while ($info=mysql_fetch_array($data)){
 
 $member=$info['member_type'];
 $email=$info['email'];
 $frist=$info['fname'];
 $last=$info['lname'];
 $country=$info['country'];
 $add=$info['address'];
 $state=$info['state'];
 $zip=$info['zip'];
 
 }
 
  echo $member;
  echo $frist;

Hi,

I can't see for looking on quite simply a very easy statement;
Code: [Select]
$cartTotal = '900';
echo 'cart total '.$cartTotal.'<br/>';

$postage = '100';
echo 'Postage '.$postage.'<br/>';

$postThreshold = '85';
echo 'Post Threshold '.$postThreshold.'<br/>';

if ($cartTotal <= $postThreshold) {

echo 'too little';

} elseif (($cartTotal >= $postThreshold) || ($cartTotal <= $postage)) {

echo 'difference';

} else {

echo 'over a ton';

}It works apart from if the cart total is above 100. What have I missed?
Thanks

Hi Guys,

I'm not sure what to do here. I have a variable that is passed on via a url. I have a database table that has a field called 'publish'. This field contains either a Yes or a No.
All I want to do is check the field an if it is Yes then make it No, and likewise if it is No then make it Yes.
Here is my code. It changes one way but not the other. The value of $publish seems to stay the same...please help...Thank you.

Code: [Select]
<?php

 // connect to the database
 include('connect-db.php');

 // get id value
$id = $_GET['id'];
echo "$id";
$publish = $_GET['publish'];
echo "$publish";

 $sql="SELECT * FROM events WHERE ID='$id'";
 $result=mysql_query($sql);

if ($publish='Yes') {
   $publish=='No';
} else {
   $publish=='Yes';
}

// echo "<p>$publish</p>";

$sqltwo = "UPDATE events SET publish='$publish' WHERE ID='$id'";
$resulttwo = mysql_query($sqltwo);

// sleep(2);
// header("Location: beacon.php");

?>

Is it possible to add more than one elseif in an if, elseif, else statement?

Here's an example of what I'm talking about (I do realize this is not proper php syntax):
Code: [Select]
<?php
if (name was not entered in form) {
echo ("This user has not entered a name.");
} elseif (email was not entered in form) {
echo ("This user has not entered an email.");
} elseif (age was not entered in the form) {
echo ("This user has not entered their age.");
} else {
echo ("This user has entered all of their information.");
}
?>

I can't get these two if, elseif and else statements too work, here is the code:
    if(empty($this->password)){
      $this->errors[] = 'You must enter a password!';

  }

elseif(!strlen($this->password) >= 6){

  $this->errors[] = 'Your password must be longer than 6 characters!';

  }

    if(empty($this->email)){
      $this->errors[] = 'You must enter an email address!';

  }

elseif(!preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$/',$this->email)){

  $this->errors[] = 'Your password can only contain these characters: a-z, A-Z and 0-9!';

  }

if(empty($this->confemail)){
      $this->errors[] = 'Please confirm your email address!';

  }

elseif(!$this->confemail == $this->email){

  $this->errors[] = 'The email addresses you entered did not match!';

  }

The if and elseif statements for "email" work just fine but the other 2 doesn't.

With the "password" i first want to check if the field is empty, and when it is, it works as it should. But when i for example type "test" too check if the password is longer than 6 characters i don't get any message at all?

With the "confemail" i want to first check if the field is empty, and when it is, it works as it should. But when i type in "test@test.com" in both fields to try to compare "confemail" to "email" i still get the "Please confirm your email address!" message?

Hi Guys,
             Beginner needs help with accommodation search feature...i have two drop downs(area and type), each one has an 'any' option. I cant evalute the 'any' options directly against the database so have written this:

Code: [Select]
<?php
                
                //query database
if ($_SESSION['type']== 'any' && $_SESSION['area']== 'any'){
    $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM hotels Order by RAND() ");
   
}
elseif ($_SESSION['area'] == 'any' && $_SESSION['type'] != 'any'){
    $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM hotels WHERE type = $_SESSION[type] Order by RAND()");
}
elseif ($_SESSION['type'] == 'any' && $_SESSION['area'] != 'any'){
    $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM hotels WHERE location =$_SESSION[area] Order by RAND()");
}

else{
    $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM hotels WHERE location ='$_SESSION[area]' AND type ='$_SESSION[type]' Order by RAND()");
}
    

//show results
while ($search_result = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) 
{
  echo '<b>'.$search_result[name] . '</b><br>';
  echo '<p><img src="'.$search_result['photo1'].'" /></p>';
  echo '<p><img src="'.$search_result['award'].'" /></p>';
  echo $search_result[description] . '<br><br>';
}?>
The first if and last else return the correct info from database but the middle two elseif's throw this error: Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given....
I have commented out the queries and replaced them with simple echoes and they all seem to evaluate correctly!. So im lost why $query isnt assigned in the middle two elseif's ??

Any ideas what im doing wrong and is there a better way.
Cheers!!

I know this works:

if($Authorized == "Declined") {

echo "Didn't work";

} else {

echo "Success";
}
?>

What if I wanted it to echo "Didn't work" if $Authorized == "Declined" OR if the string is empty, i.e.  $Authorized == "" 

Is this it?

if($Authorized == "Declined") {
echo "Didn't work";
}

[elseif ($Authorized == "") {
echo "Still didn't work";
}]

} else {

echo "Success";
}
?>

Thanks.

i'm having trouble with an elseif statement. its not displaying the result it should
?php
if(isset($_COOKIE['ID_forum'])){

$username = $_COOKIE['ID_forum'];

$query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '".$username."'";
$level = mysql_query($query) or die ("Select Error :" . mysql_error());
$userlevel = $level['user_level'];
echo $userlevel;

if ($userlevel == "1") {
echo 'you are a member';
}
elseif ($userlevel == "2") {
echo 'you are a moderator';
}
elseif ($userlevel == "3") {
echo 'you are an administrator ';
}
else
echo'you are not logged in';
}
?>

it is echoing out 'you are not logged in', when it should be saying 'you are an administrator', as the value in the table is 3. i do know that the cookie 'ID_forum' is there, but i cant find why its not working properly. Any ideas would be great.

Thanks

I have this code which checks for the word "Big Ben" and if it's not there it outputs some html. I want t be able to make another statement to also check for the word "London Tower" and if it's not there then to check for the word "Canary Wharf",

So far I've only managed one statement without the code breaking, how do I add the others in as well.

<?php $astacker=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'thesite', true); if ( $astacker == [b]'Big Ben'[/b]) { ?>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/feedsgrabstack.php");?>
