Switch query

[FUNKAM35]

switch ($animal){

case "cat":

echo" dog";

break;

 

Instead of ECHO and it displaying both how do I get it to only display dog?

[ratcateme]

what is the output you get.

Post your actual code!

I suggest you read some documentation in understanding a switch statement.

A switch statement is just an alternative to an else if block.

Is this a continuation of your previous question? If so you should have just added another question to that thread.

This is a continuation, someone has suggested I use str replace so how do I change $animal cat to dog and if I want to alter multiple fields?

Post your entire code...

From your other post, and confusing explanations i can only work out the following:

 

this code:

echo "<a href=\"animals.php?animal=$animal\">$animal</a>";
switch($animal){
case "cat":
  print 'Dog';
  break;
case "Pig":
  print 'Test';
  break;
}

 

 

looka like this?

CatDog

 

 

The only way you can get around this is by...

switch($_GET['animals']){
case 'Cat':
  $animal ='Dog';
  break;
case 'Pig':
  $animal ='Test';
  break;
}

print "<a href=\"animals.php?animal=$animal\">$animal</a>";

 

If Animal is Cat, will return:

Dog
