I have a $_POST which contain following data
$_POST['survey_que1']
$_POST['survey_que2']
$_POST['survey_que3']
....
so on.
I have to get a count of occurrence of survey_que from $_POST.
Any Ideas please.

Restructure your data.
<input type="text" name="survey_que[]" />
This will result in $_POST['survey_que'] being an array of passed values, which you can easily use count() to get the total count.

try this
$i=0;
foreach ($_POST as $name => $val)
{
if(strpos($name,'survey_que') !== false && $name != "survey_que")
$i++;
}
echo "No of times survey_que occured in $_POST[] is ".$i;
EDIT
#shri in your code if survey_que2 is not set and survey_que3 is set then your code fails.
So try this workaround which covers all worst cases also
$i=0;
foreach ($_POST as $name => $val)
{
if(strpos($name,'survey_que') !== false && $name != "survey_que")
{
$key=explode("survey_que",$name);
if(sizeof($key) == 2 && is_numeric($key[1]) && $key[0] == "")
{
$i++;
}
}
}
echo "No of times survey_que occured in $_POST[] is ".$i;

Serialize $_POST and use "substr_count" for counting ocurrences
$how_many = substr_count(serialize($_POST), $search_string));
It's the easiest way I find but will count this text even if it's not a $_POST key value

This is working for me exactly i want.
$i = 1;
while (isset($_POST['survey_que' . $i])) {
$i++;
}
echo $i-1;
Thanks everyone for quick support.

I need to use 2 $_POST. Here's the code but it's not working.
if($_POST['grade'] == 'G1') && ($_POST['district'] == 'D1')
Thanks in advance!
In my opinion, you should also check that $_POST is not empty before trying to access any key inside
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
if (!empty($_POST)) {
if ($_POST['grade'] == 'G1' && $_POST['district'] == 'D1') {
#condition fulfilled.
} else {
print_r($_POST); #debug $_POST and see where you went wrong
exit;
}
} else {
die('POST GLOBAL IS EMPTY');
}
Try by this
if($_POST['grade'] == 'G1' && $_POST['district'] == 'D1'){
//Both Founded
}else{
//Not Founded
}

Can someone tell me what is wrong with my code? PHP update my Data keeps Appending
<?php
foreach($_SESSION["product"] as $index => $product)
{
if ($_SESSION["product"][$index]["item_id"] == $_POST["item-id"])
{
$found = 1;
$target_index = $index + 1;
}
}
if (true)
{
array_push($_SESSION["product"], ["item_id" => $_POST["item-id"], "item_qty" => $_POST["item-qty"]]);
}
else
{
$qty = strval(($_SESSION["product"][$target_index]["item_qty"]) + $_POST["item-qty"]);
$_SESSION["product"][$target_index]["item_qty"] = $qty;
$qty = 0;
}
}
If you are asking why it always appends to the array instead of executing the else block, it looks like you have a condition missing in the line that says:
if(true)
This will always evaluate to true no matter and as a result it will always append to your array.
You probably want to put some sort of condition there

I'm fairly new to PHP so I was wondering whether or not you could have to 'commands' in an if statement, like:
$value = 1;
$values = 2;
if ($value == '1' & $values == '2') {
do something
} else {
do something else
}
Would that work? I probably have the syntax wrong however you get the gist. Haha
Thanks for the help.
if you are new to use conditional operators read first before implement.
http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.comparison.php
$value = 1;
$values = 2;
if ($value == '1' && $values == '2') {
// do something
} else {
// do something else
}

Im wondering if i can do and/or together. I'm trying to make a code that checks if both variables are wrong or if only one of them is wrong and the other one is right then I want to show a message like: "one of the "variables" are wrong.
Can anyone help me out here?
In addition to Tim Whites answer, if you don't want it nested, you could also use:
if($a == false AND $b == false) { echo "Both variables are false"; }
elseif($a == false OR $b == false) { echo "One variable is false"; }
if ($a==false OR $b==false) {
if($a==false AND $b==false) { echo "Both variables are false"; }
else { echo "On of the variables is false"; }
}
Something like that will do.
You could just use multiple IF statements, to check if 1 variable is wrong or both are wrong. Like:
if ($variable1==false && $variable2==false){
}
else{
if ($variable1==false || $variable2==false){
}
}

How do I check that a PHP array is not empty?
// If $columns array is not empty...
foreach ($columns as $column) {
echo $column;
}
Why bother with functions? Empty arrays will simply return false:
if ($array) {
// array is not empty
}
Very simple: using empty() function.
if (!empty($columns)){
foreach ($columns as $column) {
echo $column;
}
}
Also can be used with other types than array.
One way is to use count()
if (count($columns) > 0) {
foreach ($columns as $column) {
echo $column;
}
}
