I have a condition within echo statement like this, how to adjust it to make it working:
echo "<option value="http://localhost/myproject/index.php?if(empty($_GET['view'])){echo "view=main-content";}else{$view=basename($_GET['view']);echo "view=".$view;}"></option>";
Many thanks
I noticed that you are using two times view, threfore if you condition enters the else your final url would be something like: ?view=whateverview=whatever2 which is clearly wrong.
$view = (empty($_GET['view']) ? 'main-content' : basename($_GET['view']));
echo "<option value='http://localhost/myproject/index.php?view=" . $view . "'></option>";
If you would like to add more parameters to the URL you'll need to use &.
is this your expected output?
$d = "<option value='http://localhost/myproject/index.php?";
if(empty($_GET['view']))
{
$d .= "view=main-content";
}
else
{
$view=basename($_GET['view']);
$d .="view=".$view;
};
$d .="'>Testing</option>";
echo "<select>". $d."</select>";
You could pass it to a variable, and concatenate it with the rest of your echo statement.
if(empty($_GET['view'])){
$res = 'main-content';
} else {
$res = basename($_GET['view']);
}
echo '<option value="http://localhost/myproject/index.php?view=' . $res . '"></option>';
And since no one else posted it:
echo '<option value="http://localhost/myproject/index.php?view='
. (empty($_GET['view']) ? 'main-content' : basename($_GET['view'])
. '"></option>';

I'm learning PHP and i'm trying to show an " €" when and only when $autocollant_total_ht_custom isset.
This is what i wrote :
$euro = " €";
if (isset($autocollant_total_ht_custom)) {
$autocollant_total_ht_custom = $autocollant_total_ht_custom . $euro;
} else echo " ";
However my " €" is always showing even when $autocollant_total_ht_custom is not set.
I spent 75 minutes on it, trying and failing again and again despite researching.
I also tried with !is_null, !is_empty with the same result.
I'm fairly certain that my logic isn't wrong but the way to do it is.
Anyone to the rescue?
Have a nice Saturday everyone !
Mike.
Edit 1:
A little visual aid image
My goal was to only show the content of a cell if there was indeed something in it. By default i could see 0 in the empty cells.
if (!$autocollant_total_ht_lot10) {
$autocollant_total_ht_lot10 = " ";
} else echo "error ";
if (!$autocollant_total_ht_lot20) {
$autocollant_total_ht_lot20 = " ";
} else echo " ";
if (!$autocollant_total_ht_lot50) {
$autocollant_total_ht_lot50 = " ";
} else echo " ";
if (!$autocollant_total_ht_custom) {
$autocollant_total_ht_custom = " ";
} else echo " ";
I know my code must look primitive but it works and i don't see it making a conflict with what we are trying to achieve in the initial question.
Then, as asked, this is what i'm writing in the table row and table data :
<tr>
<td class=table_align_left>A partir de 100</td>
<td><?php echo $autocollant_prix ?></td>
<td><?php echo $autocollant_custom?></td>
<td><?php echo $autocollant_total_ht_custom?> </td>
</tr>
So in short, i'm trying to not show anything if there's no value to be shown (which is currently working) and then adding a " €" after the variable is there's something to be shown.
Edit 2 :
My primitive code : my_code
Edit 3 :
The $autocollant_total_ht_custom is already conditioned to be shown earlier in this statement :
} elseif($autocollant_quantité >= 90 && $autocollant_quantité <= 99){
$autocollant_quantité_lot50 = 2;
} elseif($autocollant_quantité >= 100 && $autocollant_quantité <= 1000){
$autocollant_custom = $autocollant_quantité;
} else echo "entrée invalide";
$autocollant_total_ht_custom = $autocollant_prix * $autocollant_custom;
$autocollant_total_ht_lot10 = $autocollant_prix_lot10 * $autocollant_quantité_lot10;
$autocollant_total_ht_lot20 = $autocollant_prix_lot20 * $autocollant_quantité_lot20;
$autocollant_total_ht_lot50 = $autocollant_prix_lot50 * $autocollant_quantité_lot50;
$pointeuse_total_ht = $pointeuse_prix * $pointeuse_quantité;
$pointeuse_autocollant_offert = $pointeuse_quantité * 10;
$pointeuse_autocollant_offert_total_ht = $pointeuse_autocollant_offert * $autocollant_prix;
$pointeuse_autocollant_offert_total_ht = $pointeuse_autocollant_offert * $autocollant_prix;
I posted my code if that can help.
Mike.
//$autocollant_total_ht_custom = null;
$autocollant_total_ht_custom = "something that isnt null";
//if you switch the variable assignment above you will see it behaves as expected.
$euro = "€";
if (isset($autocollant_total_ht_custom))
{
echo $autocollant_total_ht_custom = $autocollant_total_ht_custom . " " .$euro;
}
else
{
//$autocollant_total_ht_custom wouldn't be set at all if we reach this point, this is why im un-sure what your requirements are. Nothing would be echoed.
echo $autocollant_total_ht_custom;
}
Something like this maybe? It's hard to understand your exact requirements.
IsSet checks if a variable is set to something if its not null then it passes the test, and if you're manipulating strings at this variable then it will never be null, meaning the euro sign will always show up.
If the variable IS null then you fail the conditional test, hit else and echo nothing a null string.
If you can update your answer with what you would expect "$autocollant_total_ht_custom" to be set to, I can help better.
EDIT:
Seems to me you can simplify what you what, basically we are only concerned with echoing a string at all if there is something set, otherwise there's no point doing anything, so your checks could be as simple as
$autocollant_total_ht_lot10 = null;
$autocollant_total_ht_lot11 = "";
$autocollant_total_ht_custom = "1,000";
$euro = "€";
if (isset($autocollant_total_ht_custom))
{
echo 'ht custom';
echo TDFromString($autocollant_total_ht_custom, $euro);
}
//notice this doesnt output anything because it isnt set
if (isset($autocollant_total_ht_lot10, $euro))
{
echo 'lot 10';
echo TDFromString($autocollant_total_ht_lot10, $euro);
}
//notice this does because the string, while empty is something that isnt null
if (isset($autocollant_total_ht_lot11))
{
echo 'lot 11';
echo TDFromString($autocollant_total_ht_lot11, $euro);
}
//lets set it to null and see what happens
$autocollant_total_ht_lot11 = null;
if (isset($autocollant_total_ht_lot11))
{
echo 'lot 11 AGAIN';
echo TDFromString($autocollant_total_ht_lot11, $euro);
}
//it doesnt get printed!
//create a function that takes the string in question,
//and for the sake of your use case also the currency to output,
//that way you could change 'euro' to 'currency'
//and have the sign change based on what the value of the $currency
//string is, eg $currency = "£"
function TDFromString($string, $currency)
{
return '<td>' . $string . ' ' .$currency . '</td>';
}
Live example : https://3v4l.org/r5pKt
A more explicit example : https://3v4l.org/JtnoF
I added an extra echo to indicate (and newlines) which variable is being printed out you dont need it of course!
I'll just note the function name is a good example of a bad function name, as it not only returns a td around the string but also inserts the currency, you may want to name it a little better :)
EDIT EDIT:
A final edit outside the scope of your question, you should look into keeping your data in arrays and working on them instead.
Using the previous example we can reduce the code to just this !
$autocollant_total_ht_lot10 = null;
$autocollant_total_ht_lot11 = "";
$autocollant_total_ht_lot12 = "2,0000000";
$autocollant_total_ht_custom = "1,000";
$euro = "€";
//create an array, and stick all our strings in it, from now, if we need to do something to one of the strings(or all!), we do it through the array
$arrayofLots = array($autocollant_total_ht_lot10, $autocollant_total_ht_lot11, $autocollant_total_ht_lot12, $autocollant_total_ht_custom);
//go over each array 'entry' so the first time is '$autocollant_total_ht_lot10', then '$autocollant_total_ht_lot11' etc
foreach ($arrayofLots as $lot)
{
//and we've been over this bit :)
//$lot is a variable we set so we have something to refer to for the individual array entry we are on, we could just as easily name it anything else
if (isset($lot))
{
echo TDFromString($lot, $euro);
}
}
function TDFromString($string, $currency)
{
return '<td>' . $string . ' ' .$currency . '</td>';
}
Good day. It looks like you are missing the end brace
if (isset($autocollant_total_ht_custom)) {
$autocollant_total_ht_custom = $autocollant_total_ht_custom . $euro;
} else {
echo " ";
}
Firstly apologies for asking this as it is quite basic but
I just can't seem to get it right. Have searched on here and
elsewhere for an answer (and tried various) but there is always
an error. Spent too long on this little bit and should really know
the answer but here goes:
Ok I have a main php file using an include statement to bring in a drop down menu
with the options being populated from a MySQL database. In the file being included I have this while loop which creates the
options and works fine:
while ($db_field = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$ManList2 = $db_field['categoryName'];
echo '<option value="' . $ManList2 . '">' . $ManList2 . '</option>';
}
What I want to add is something like the following in the option tag:
if($search == '$ManList2') { echo 'selected'; }
I just can't seem to get it right in the echo statement.
Any help greatly appreciated.
echo '<option value="'.$ManList2.'" '.($search == $ManList2 ? 'selected' : '').'>'.$ManList2.'</option>';
How about something like this:
while ($db_field = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$ManList2 = $db_field['categoryName'];
echo '<option value="' . $ManList2 . '"';
if($search == '$ManList2') {
echo ' selected';
}
echo '>' . $ManList2 . '</option>';
}
echo "<option value='".$ManList2; if($search == '$ManList2'){ echo 'selected'; } echo "'>".$ManList2."</option>";
You may try something like this (Assumed your select's name is search)
$search = isset($_POST['search']) ? $_POST['search'] : ''; // or $_GET maybe
$selected = '';
while ( $db_field = mysql_fetch_assoc($result) ) {
$ManList2 = $db_field['categoryName'];
$selected = $search == $ManList2 ? 'selected' : '';
echo '<option '.$selected.' value="'.$ManList2.'">'.$ManList2.'</option>';
}
You could use variables to put into your PHP, like:
while($db_field = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$ManList2 = $db_field['categoryName'];
$selected = $search === $ManList2 ? "selected='selected'" : '';
echo "<option value='$ManList2'$selected>$ManList2</option>";
}
I don't see what $search does, so this approach may not work. I would use my PHPglue Library. It handles this sort of thing for you.
I'm trying to add 'NEW' to unread messages in the inbox. I don't think I can use an if statement within an echo and I have tried and failed to understand the proper use of ternary operators. I would appreciate any help. Thanks a lot.
If read_yet = 'no' I want to add this code as another echo statement:
echo '<td>NEW</td>' ;
Here is my current code for the inbox.
$sql = mysqli_query($con, "select * from messages
WHERE deleted = 'no' AND to_user = '" . $_GET['username'] . "'
ORDER BY id DESC");
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($sql)){
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td><a href="profile.php?username=' ;
echo $row['from_user'] ;
echo '">';
echo '<img id="usersimage" src="images/profileimg/thumbnail_'.$row['from_user'];
echo '.jpg"</a></td>' ;
echo '<td><a href="users.php?username=' ;
echo $row['from_user'] ;
echo '">';
echo $row['from_user'];
echo "</a></td><td><a href='messageid.php?id=".$row['id']."'><font color='#b2ccdb'>" .$row['subject'] ;
echo '</a></font></td>';
echo '</tr>';
}
If you are adding another column, I would not suggest using the ternary operator and instead simply using if:
if ($row['read_yet' == 'no') {
echo '<td>NEW</td>';
}
However, if you always output this column and need to change the display, you could use the ternary operator.
echo '<td>' . ($row['read_yet' == 'no' ? 'NEW' : 'READ') . '</td>';
Note: The ternary can create line noise. As such, I prefer a temporary variable, helper function, or traditional if.
A ternary like this:
$foo = ($bar) ? 'true result' : 'false result';
is functionally equivalent to:
if ($bar) {
$foo = 'true result';
} else {
$foo = 'false result';
}
I have a variable that is posted through a html form:
$_POST['ref']
And a variable that is pulled from a table in a database:
$row['ref']
i have a basic comparison script to check if they are both the same:
$ref = $_POST['ref'];
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM logbook.job");
if (!$result) {
die("Query to show fields from table failed");
}
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$refdb = $row['ref'];
$refform = $_POST['ref'];
echo $_POST['ref'] ."<br>". $row['ref'] . "<br><br>";
if ($refdb == $refform) {
echo "Yes they are<br><br>";
}
else {
echo "No they are not<br><br>";
}
if (is_string($_POST['ref']))
{
echo "Yes";
} else {
echo "No";
}
echo "<br>";
if (is_string($row['ref']))
{
echo "Yes";
} else {
echo "No";
}
Which outputs:
G2mtxW
G2mtxW
No they are not
Yes
Yes
I echo them both out. Than i ask if they are the same. Then i check whether each is a string.
How come they are not the same? How can i get them to match
Any help would be appreciated
Try using the binary-safe comparison for String:
result = strcmp($str1, $str2);
If the result is 0, then both are the same. Otherwise, they aren't.
One of your strings (probably the one from the DB) might be null-terminated. I've tested the following
$foo = "abc\0";
$bar = "abc";
echo "$foo\n$bar\n";
if($foo == $bar)
echo "Equal.";
else
echo "Not equal."
Output is
abc
abc
Not equal.
Try var_dump-ing both values, check their lengths and inspect them using view-source. They are different in someway.
echo $status_message;
echo "Accepted";
if(strcmp($status_message,"Accepted")==0)
{
echo "equal";
}
else
{
echo "not equal";
}
?>
$row['status'] is a field from table
I have the following code with the if...else statement within a while loop.
$colour = array("50305A", "E33600", "DBDD02", "73BE58");
$nextcolr = next($colour);
if ($nextcolr == FALSE)
{
reset($colour);
echo current($colour);
}
else
{
echo next($colour);
}
I can't work out why what ever is in the else statement isn't being executed, even if I switch the two statements and reverse the operator. Could anyone help me?
The entire while loop:
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "by <a href='/neuro/profile.php?userid=$row[MemberID]'>" . $row['FirstName'] . " " . $row['LastName'] . "</a> on " . $row['Timestamp'] . " | " . $row['NumberOfComments'] . " comments.";
echo "<div id='blog' style='background-color:#";
if ($nextcolr == FALSE)
{
reset($colour);
echo current($colour);
}
else
{
echo next($colour);
}
echo "'><a href='blog.php?threadid=" . $row['tID'] . "'>" . $row['Title'] . "</a></div>";
}
$colour = array("50305A", "E33600", "DBDD02", "73BE58");
while ... {
$nextcolr = next($colour);
if ($nextcolr === FALSE)
{
reset($colour);
}
echo current($colour);
}
is how your while loop should look like. If I am right, you are also defining $colour in the while loop, which might cause problems.
If all this is in the while loop, then you are re-declaring the array on each iteration, thus returning the array internal pointer to the beginning with each iteration.
If you want to iterate this array multiple times, you could do it this way:
$colour = array("50305A", "E33600", "DBDD02", "73BE58");
$i = 0;
while ... {
...
echo $colour[$i++ % count($colour)];
...
}
So you don't need this if-else block.
The problem with your original while loop is that you never change the value of $nextcolr.
Thus, it always remains FALSE and the else part never gets executed.
