[SOLVED] Display Issue: Final entry is blank :(

[Chezshire]

Hi,

  I'm very vexed with my little piece of code below. I've checked my spelling, database, etc. to see if its a misspelt word or something and i don't think it is. I used the same initial code snippet each time and it works for displaying a characters height, weight, eye color and hair color. However the ethnicity is blank. Anyone have any idea as to what i might be doing wrong? Am i being like really dumb or what?

 

Thanks for any suggestions, guidance or help as always -- Everyone here rocks!

<?php
if ($height) 
{
echo "<tr><td align=\"right\" valign=\"top\"><p><b>HEIGHT:</b></p></td>\n";
echo "<td width=\"10\"> </td><td valign=\"top\"><p>" . $characterHeight[$height] . "</p></td></tr>\n"; 
}
if ($weight) 
{
echo "<tr><td align=\"right\" valign=\"top\"><p><b>HEIGHT:</b></p></td>\n";
echo "<td width=\"10\"> </td><td valign=\"top\"><p>" . $characterWeight[$weight] . "</p></td></tr>\n";
}
if ($eyes) 
{
echo "<tr><td align=\"right\" valign=\"top\"><p><b>EYE COLOR:</b></p></td>\n";
echo "<td width=\"10\"> </td><td valign=\"top\"><p>" . $eyeColor[$eyes] . "</p></td></tr>\n";
}
if ($hair) 
{
echo "<tr><td align=\"right\" valign=\"top\"><p><b>HAIR COLOR:</b></p></td>\n";
echo "<td width=\"10\"> </td><td valign=\"top\"><p>" . $hairColor[$hair] . "</p></td></tr>\n";
}
if ($ethnicity) 
{
echo "<tr><td align=\"right\" valign=\"top\"><p><b>ETHNICITY:</b></p></td>\n";
echo "<td width=\"20\"> </td><td valign=\"top\"><p>" . $ethnicity[$ethnicity] . "</p></td></tr>\n";
}
?>

$ethnicity[$ethnicity]

Are those supposed to be two different variables? If so, then one of them is probably overriding the other.

 

It's hard to really say much more without seeing more code.

This is how i was doing it and i was thinking that the problem might have been that the two variable were too similiarly named. This is how i was doing it (but i want pull downs now and moved to pull downs in the form where people enter text)

<?php
$theseFields = array("quote", "height", "weight", "hair", "eyes", "ethnicity", "characteristics", "dateofbirth", "age", "gender", "appearance", "modelname");
foreach ($theseFields as $thisField) {
if (${$thisField}) { echo "<tr><td align=\"right\" valign=\"top\"><p><b>" . ${$thisField . "Name"} . ":</b></p></td>\n";
echo "<td width=\"10\"> </td><td valign=\"top\"><p>" . ${$thisField} . "</p></td></tr>\n";
} // end if info
} // end FOREACH
if ($song) { echo "<tr><td align=\"right\" valign=\"top\"><p><b>THEME SONG:</b></p></td>\n";
echo "<td width=\"10\"> </td><td valign=\"top\"><p>" . $song;
if ($song_link) { echo "<br>" . $song_link; }
echo "</p></td></tr>\n";
} // end if song
if ($waiver) { echo "<tr><td align=\"right\" valign=\"top\"><p><b>WAIVER:</b></p></td>\n";
echo "<td width=\"10\"> </td><td valign=\"top\"><p>" . $waiver;
} // end if song
?>

It's not that they are "similarly named", they ARE the same. Try changing that and see if it works.
