Status 500 error on if statement - php

I debugging everything and the reason that return 500 Error comes from this part :
for($k=0;$k<=$i;$k++)
{
$crr_id=$field1['TestId'][$k];
$sql2="SELECT Frontname FROM apply.StudentsInfo WHERE TestId='$crr_id'";
$query2=mssql_query($sql2);
while( $row2 = mssql_fetch_assoc($query2)){
$row2['Frontname']=iconv("windows-874","utf-8", $row2['Frontname']);
echo $row2['Frontname'];
if($row2['Frontname']==iconv("windows-874","utf-8", "เด็กชาย")
|| $row2['Frontname']==iconv("windows-874","utf-8", "นาย"))
{
$male++;
}
else if($row2['Frontname']==iconv("windows-874","utf-8", "เด็กหญิง")
|| $row2['Frontname']==iconv("windows-874","utf-8", "นางสาว"))
{
$female++;
}
}
mssql_free_result($query2);
}
The problem is PHP gets data from MS SQL (data received prove by try to echo it) and go to if-else statement. For some reasons, it reject itself.
Solution that I tried: remove all iconv() functions. but doesn't work.

How to add an error handling to read an XML file in php?

I am developing a PHP script that allows me to modify tags in an XML file and move them once done.
My script works correctly but I would like to add error handling: So that if the result of my SQL query does not return anything display an error message or better, send a mail, and not move the file with the error and move to the next.
I did some tests but the code never displays the error and it moves the file anyway.
Can someone help me to understand why? Thanks
<?php
}
}
$xml->formatOutput = true;
$xml->save($source_file);
rename($source_file,$destination_file);
}
}
closedir($dir);
?>
Give this one a try
$result = odbc_fetch_array($exec);
if ($result === false || $result['GEAN'] === null) {
echo "GEAN not found for $SKU_CODE";
// continue;
}
$barcode = (string) $result['GEAN'];
echo $barcode; echo "<br>"; //9353970875729
$node->getElementsByTagName("SKU")->item(0)->nodeValue = "";
$node->getElementsByTagName("SKU")->item(0)->appendChild($xml->createTextNode($result[GEAN]));

Foreach loop randomly throwing “invalid argument supplied”

I'm trying to get this function to work but for some reason it errors out on the foreach line saying there is an invalid argument.
$scores= TESTAPI::GUL($user->ID);
if (empty($scores)) {
echo "<p>No Scores</p>";
} else {
foreach ($scores as $score) {
echo "<p>".$score."</p>";
}
}
The error I get is: PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()
Note: I need to keep the if... else... in the order it currently is.
Some variations for the if statement, prior to the for
if(!is_array($scores) && !count($scores) || empty($scores)){
if(!is_array($scores) && !count($scores)){
I can't use use var_dump($scores); because the error is on a page on a private website I run (can't provide links) and I am unable to find a way to recreate the error. Maybe someone knows a way I can capture data that causes the foreach to go wrong and save it to a log file?
You can use error_log in case it is no array:
$scores= TESTAPI::GUL($user->ID);
if (empty($scores)) {
echo "<p>No Scores</p>";
} else {
if(!is_array($scores)) {
$scores_info = print_r($scores, true);
error_log('$scores is no array but: ' . $scores_info);
echo "<p>No Scores</p>";
} else {
foreach ($scores as $score) {
echo "<p>".$score."</p>";
}
}
}
It will write to the error log. You can see more at the error_log doc how to configure it. You should clearly dry it up when you know what the error is, but for temporary catching it this works ...

syntax error in valid if statement

I have a PHP method which retrieves data either from memcache, or from the database if it is not yet available there.
Sometimes the data must be loaded from the DB to update the memcache, for example if something changes.
public function get_likes_per_user($u_id, $force_db = false) {
if ($this->memcache) {
$u_id = intval($u_id);
$key = 'liked_news_' . $u_id;
$res = $this->memcache->get($key);
if ($res != '') {
$res = unserialize($res);
}
// This line causes a syntax error for no obvious reason
if(!is_array($res) || $force_db){
$res = array();
$sql = "...";
$uu_query = $this->datenbank->query_result($sql);
while ($row = $uu_query->fetch_row()) {
$res[] = $row['uu_id'];
}
$this->memcache->set($key, serialize($res), 0, 3600);
}
return $res;
} else {
throw new Exception("Kein Memcache Objekt!");
}
}
For some reason I don't understand php decides to throw a syntax error for the if statement which decides whether or not to reload the data from the DB.
I tried different notations for this statement but I can't figure out what causes the error.
Did anyone encounter something similar?
PHP Version 5.4
UPDATE:
I've found the cause of the error. I am working on a mac and to write a pipe charakter you have to press alt+7. If you press alt+spacebar mac OS X will insert a non-breaking space, which is invalid for PHP. So my mistake was to keep alt pressed after typing the two pipes for the OR statement.

Php error Working with get varialbes

i have a php code and when i add some gets variables i get error, 500, i tested it with ajax and without ajax(directly writing the url on the adress bar)
When i go with localhost/ajax/test.php?did=1 everything is fine but when i go with localhost/ajax/test.php?did=1&task=1 the problem happens
all the functions are created before on the ../php/core.php
Here is the code
<?php
require '../php/core.php';
$did = floor($_GET['did']);
if (device_exist($did) && amlogedin() && intouch_get($uid, $did) == 2) {
$task = floor($_GET['task']);
$id = safestring($_GET['id']);
switch ($task) {
case 1:
if (feature_removefeature($did, $fid)) {
echo donemsg("Feature Removed");
}
break;
}
design_makefeturelist($did);
}
else {
echo 'Sorry, some thing is wrong';
}
Almost sure that you've got an error in the feature_removefeature or donemsg function. Because after you set task=1 it will enter the case 1: statement. You could replace the if with a simple echo "lala"; to check it out.
ps. Is $fid already set?

Statements in php

if($getstatus->num_rows != 0 && $getstatusarr = $getstatus->fetch_assoc() && $getstatusarr["Type"] != $data["type"])
echo "error"
else
...
first code will not work, to make works this way, see Nin's post
Is it possible to make the code easily?
Also I can do it like this:
if($getstatus->num_rows != 0)
$getstatusarr = $getstatus->fetch_assoc();
if($getstatusarr["Type"] != $data["type"]) {
echo "error"
$error = true;
}
if(!$error) {
...
}
by ellipsis I have too many lines of code :)
added:
also I can do in this way:
if($getstatus->num_rows != 0) {
$getstatusarr = $getstatus->fetch_assoc();
if($getstatusarr["Type"] != $data["type"]) {
echo "error";
goto skip;
}
}
... // some code which I need not to execute if $getstatusarr["Type"] != $data["type"] are true
skip:
// another code which will execute in all cases
Well, don't use goto: :)
Whether you put all the if's on one line or on several lines is mostly a personal preference.
Too many lines with if will make the code harder to read but putting it all on one line also makes it difficult to read and difficult to debug (error on line 12 can mean many things then). If you're using a debugger like xdebug or Zend debug then having multiple lines to step over is also easier.
So find a way in between this.
I would do it like this, since then you also check if fetch_assoc() returned a result:
if($getstatus->num_rows != 0 && $getstatusarr = $getstatus->fetch_assoc())
if($getstatusarr["Type"] != $data["type"]) {
echo "error"
$error = true;
}
if(!$error) {
...
}
From my point of view is always best to unwrap statements and clean the code as much as you can, maybe someone later on will have to read what you did and he will have a hard time doing that.
Also you cannot assign new variables in a if statement like that:
$error = false;
if($getstatus->num_rows)
$getstatusarr = $getstatus->fetch_assoc();
if($getstatusarr["Type"] != $data["type"]) {
$error = array('type' => 'invalid type');
}
}
if($error) {
// do something with $error array
}
