[SOLVED] Help With Line of Code - Please! :-)

[smkied]

Hello!

 

I have this piece of code:

 

if ($_POST['item1_price']!=8.95)    $next_payment='2012-01-01 00:00:00';

 

It's for payment gateway. Anyhow, all i need to figure out how to do is I need to have more than one value where you see "8.95". So basically, I want the code to say that if the price is not equal to 8.95, 11.95, 14.95 then set the next payment to 2012.

 

Is there a simple way to just add more numbers to that line? I didn't write the code so I don't know, but I do know that if there is a way to do this then I won't need to edit anything anywhere else.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

in_array() might be helpful -> http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.in-array.php

That was quick, thanks! I don't mean to be overstepping your generosity, but I'm really "white" when it comes to PHP code, so although I almost sort of get what's going on with this array code, I can't quite figure out how I would adapt it to my line of code.

 

Could you perhaps throw down an example for me??

I was just suggested this piece of code:

 

if ($_POST['item1_price']!=8.95 &&
    $_POST['item1_price']!=11.95 &&
    $_POST['item1_price']!=14.95) {

        $next_payment='2012-01-01 00:00:00';
} 

 

Will that work?

Will that work?

 

No.  Look at the logic and see what happens if item1_price is 8.95.

[CroNiX]

$prices = array(8.95, 11.95, 14.95);  //create an array of your prices.

//then just check if the price is in the array, or NOT in the array in your case

if(!in_array($_POST['item1_price'], $prices)) {
    $next_payment='2012-01-01 00:00:00';
}

The format is:

in_array($needle, $haystack)

where needle is what you are searching for and haystack is the array of values to search against.

ah nice, that's very slick.

 

Thank you very much! Makes sense too, maybe one day I'll manage to learn PHP.... one day....
