[SOLVED] Simplify Code

[vtx-rider]

Hi @all

 

Is there a possibility to simplify this code?

 

    <?php
      if ($result['f6'] == Schweiz) {
          echo "<img src='images/ch.gif' alt='Schweiz'>";
      }
      if ($result['f6'] == Deutschland) {
          echo "<img src='images/deutschland.jpg' alt='Deutschland'>";
      }
      if ($result['f6'] == Österreich) {
          echo "<img src='images/oesterreich.jpg' alt='Österreich'>";
      }
      if ($result['f6'] == Niederlande) {
          echo "<img src='images/nl.gif' alt='Niederlande'>";
      }
      if ($result['f6'] == Italien) {
          echo "<img src='images/italien.jpg' alt='Italien'>";
      }
      if ($result['f6'] == Frankreich) {
          echo "<img src='images/frankreich.jpg' alt='Frankreich'>";
      }
      if ($result['f6'] == USA) {
          echo "<img src='images/usa.jpg' alt='USA'>";
      }
      if ($result['f6'] == Belgien) {
          echo "<img src='images/belgien.gif' alt='Belgien'>";
      }
?>

 

The Code works, but I think, that it is possible to make it shorter.

 

Thanks!

You can use a switch statement. It's really not going to shorten your code much, but it was made for situations like this.

You could use an array where each language is the key and the resultant string is the value. After you validate that $result['f6'] is a valid key value, just echo your_array_name[$result['f6']];

To add more languages, just add its' definition as an array entry -

<?php
$language_arr = array();
$language_arr['Schweiz'] = "<img src='images/ch.gif' alt='Schweiz'>";
$language_arr['Deutschland'] = "<img src='images/deutschland.jpg' alt='Deutschland'>";
$language_arr['Österreich'] = "<img src='images/oesterreich.jpg' alt='Österreich'>";
$language_arr['Niederlande'] = "<img src='images/nl.gif' alt='Niederlande'>";
$language_arr['Italien'] = "<img src='images/italien.jpg' alt='Italien'>";
$language_arr['Frankreich'] = "<img src='images/frankreich.jpg' alt='Frankreich'>";
$language_arr['USA'] = "<img src='images/usa.jpg' alt='USA'>";
$language_arr['Belgien'] = "<img src='images/belgien.gif' alt='Belgien'>";

if(array_key_exists($result['f6'],$language_arr)) {
echo $language_arr[$result['f6']];
} else {
echo "Language: {$result['f6']} is not supported";
}
?>

Thank you for your help! Both solutions work well.
