[SOLVED] IF ?

[Clinton]

Have I got this written wrong or does it not like the ***?

 

if ((!empty($_POST['dtype']) OR ($_POST['dtype'] == "***SELECT***")) { $dtype = $_POST['dtype']; }
          else 	{ $errors[] = '<font color="red">You did not enter a degree type.</font>'; }

 

phpDesigner is saying unexpected {.

Looks like you have one too many open parens at the beginning maybe.

 

<?php
if (!empty($_POST['dtype']) or $_POST['dtype'] == "***SELECT***") { 
$dtype = $_POST['dtype']; 
} else { 
$errors[] = '<font color="red">You did not enter a degree type.</font>'; 
}
?>

It is probably just the phpDesigner. That code looks valid to me. It most likely does not like everything being on oneline. But I would go with Flyhoney's if, since the simple fact that you do not need the extra parans and they just make it more confusing.

Check this line:

if ((!empty($_POST['dtype']) OR ($_POST['dtype'] == "***SELECT***"))

 

4 opening parens and 3 closing.

 

should be:

if (!empty($_POST['dtype']) or $_POST['dtype'] == "***SELECT***")

 

hence the parser is running into a '{' when it is looking fo rthe 4th closing paren.

There you go. Even I missed the missing ) after the !empty portion.

 

As stated, it makes a ton less confusing omitting them =)

Thanks guys. I'm glad I'm not the only one who missed it... ;-)
