[SOLVED] Comparison Operators experiment, need help

[.evo.]

This is more of an experiment than anything, but I was making a function so that you enter a year as the variable, and if the year you entered was the current year, it would just echo the current year. If not it would echo the year chosen - current year. eg. "cpyrht(2003);" would show up as "2003 - 2008" but if you entered "cpyrht(2008);" it would show up as "2008" because it is the current year. Anyway the code I have at the moment, is not working, it's not a syntax error it's just not functioning. Wherever I enter the function the div that it's placed in just disappears.

 

$curyr = date(Y);

function cpyrht($yr) {
$cpyrht = ($yr==$curyr)?"$yr":"$yr - $curyr";
echo $cpyrht;
}

 

Thanks.

$curyr has to be defined within function. Read on variable scope in manual

 

function cpyrht($yr) {
   $curyr = date(Y);
   $cpyrht = ($yr==$curyr)?"$yr":"$yr - $curyr";
   return $cpyrht;
}

echo cpyrht("2008");
echo cpyrht("2003");

It's still doing the same thing. ???

Ok I just got the function working in an if statement. Now I just gotta try get that into a working comparison operator.

 

function cpyrht($yr) {
$sep = " - ";
$curyr = date(Y);
if ($yr==$curyr) {
	echo $curyr;
} else {
	echo $yr, $sep, $curyr; 
}
}

cpyrht("2003");
cpyrht("2008");

I tested the code I posted and it works fine.

It's not for me. :S

 

EDIT: I just tried it for a 3rd time and it worked, that's very strange.

 

Thanks though.

Stuff like that happens all the time. You might forgot to save your changes, did not refresh browser cache, etc... I'm loosing several minutes each day in trivialities like that

Sometimes FireFTP gets a bit dicky with saving files, well at least it's working now.
