3 way if / elseif query problem

[wmguk]

Hey,

 

I have a table, and i have 3 fields, tel, mob and email

 

if tel is empty then show mob, if tel and mob is empty then show email....

 

I've used this code, but its not right as it never seems to show the email...

 

can anyone help?

 

if ($tel != '' || $tel != ' ')
{ $contactdetails = "$tel"; } 
elseif ($tel == '' || $tel == ' ' && $mob != '' || $mob != ' ')
{ $contactdetails = "$mob"; }
else
{ $contactdetails = "$email"; }

the logic is confusing

here

elseif ($tel == '' || $tel == ' ' && $mob != '' || $mob != ' ')

try

elseif ( ($tel == '' || $tel == ' ') && ($mob != '' || $mob != ' '))

 

But you don't really need to check the $tel, as you know its empty

 

heres my route

 

<?php
if(!empty(trim($tel)))
{
$contactdetails = $tel;
}elseif(!empty(trim($mob))){
$contactdetails = $mob;
}else{
$contactdetails = $email;
}

?>

if (!$tel && !$mob) $contactdetails = $email;
elseif (!$tel) $contactdetails = $mob
else $contactdetails = $tel;

Hey, Yeah i agree, i was a little off the mark really, I've done this but I get a parse error, and white page displayed, any ideas?

[wmguk]

if (!$tel && !$mob) $contactdetails = $email;
elseif (!$tel) $contactdetails = $mob
else $contactdetails = $tel;

 

hey, again, when I use this i get a white page error, that appears to be a parse error...

lol we all suck!

 

jks, this should work. I was being a little lazy

 

if (!$tel && !$mob)
{
  $contactdetails = $email;
} elseif (!$tel) {
$contactdetails = $mob;
} else {
$contactdetails = $tel;
}

 

that will work!

Opps can't use trim in an if statement

$tel = " ";
$tel = trim($tel);
$mob = trim($mob);

if(!empty($tel))
{
   $contactdetails = $tel;
}elseif(!empty($mob)){
   $contactdetails = $mob;
}else{
   $contactdetails = $email;
}
