PHP Help Needed.

Am trying to pass the command to another check in the script. The Variable is passed from the URL.

. My issus is that when the Variable is matched, then I pass the command "eregi" to the next check in the script and that works fine.

 

Now if the same variable does not match, then I send the command "!eregi" to the next check and that fails. Any ideas how to pass !eregi to the command and why does it fail ?

 

 

<?

 

$ans = "ftp";

echo  $_GET['bg'] ;

    echo "<br>";

 

if ( eregi( 'ftp', $_GET['bg'] ))

    {

    $cmd = "eregi" ;

    echo "$cmd";

    echo "<br>";

    }

    else {

    $cmd = "!eregi" ;

    echo "$cmd";

    echo "<br>";

  }

 

 

if ($cmd('ftp', $ans))      <--This is not working when $cmd is !eregi

  {

      echo "matched";

  } else {

      echo "not matched";

}

 

?>

i m not sure why that doesnt work. but what u r doing can be achieved by the following code too..

 

<?php

$ans = "ftp";
$operator = true;
if ( eregi( 'ftp', $_GET['bg'] ))
    {
 $operator = true;
     echo "$operator";
     echo "<br>";
    }
    else {
 $operator = false;
     echo "$operator";
     echo "<br>";
   }


if (eregi('ftp', $ans) == $operator)       
   {
       echo "matched";
  } else {
       echo "not matched";
}

?>
