[SOLVED] Make a "If like" statement?

[djfox]

Let`s say I have:

 

$res2 = mysql_query("SELECT id, evolve_next, evolve_level, name FROM pokedex WHERE id='$poke[1]'");
$pokemon = mysql_fetch_row($res2);
mysql_free_result($res2);

 

And I want PHP to check to see if , exists in $pokemon[1]. If it does, do one thing. If not, do something else.

If it does exist, how it could separate the elements that are between the commas (there may just one or more than one comma) and have an option for each of those.

 

Example:

If $pokemon[1] has "Vaporeon,Jolteon,Flareon", then be like:

Vaporeon:

Do whatever

Jolteon:

Do whatever else

Flareon:

Do something different

 

or if $pokemon[1] has "Pikachu", then do other stuff.

 

How could this be accomplished?

To separate things you can use explode.

 

Something like:

 

$pokemon = "Vaporeon";
$pieces = expode(",", $pokemon[1]);
if(in_array($pokemon, $pieces) {
   echo "This record has " . $pokemon . "!";
}

Wouldn`t this mean I would have to make several $pokemon statements for it to check for each and every pokemon name that might be in the list? That would be extremely time consuming to setup, not to mention make the file huge since we`re looking at over 550 names to work with. isn`t there a tweaking to that code we could do to remove the massive workload?

If you want to have your script do something different for each name, then you are going to have to specifically address each name.

[djfox]

You sure? What this is addressing is the evolution stages that the pokemon would take place. Some pokemon have multiple others they can evolve into while others have just one. I can do one where it`s just the single choice, but the multiple choices I can`t figure out how to work it into a simple not-spend-a-year-coding-for-it code because there are so many of them.

Can I see your form?

[djfox]

<?php
$res = mysql_query("SELECT id, species, level FROM pokemon_owned WHERE id='$p'");

$poke = mysql_fetch_row($res);

mysql_free_result($res);



$res2 = mysql_query("SELECT id, evolve_next, evolve_level, name FROM pokedex WHERE id='$poke[1]'");

$pokemon = mysql_fetch_row($res2);

mysql_free_result($res2);


$res3 = mysql_query("SELECT id, name FROM pokedex WHERE name='$pokemon[1]'");

$e = mysql_fetch_row($res3);

mysql_free_result($res3);



echo "You can evolve your pokemon into a different pokemon in which it could gain new strengths. However, this cannot be undone.";

echo " Make certain that you are absolutely sure that you want to evolve this pokemon before clicking the button below. If you";

echo " would to know what kind of pokemon yours will change into from evolving, you can view the pokedex. If your";

echo " pokemon is not a high enough level to evolve, you will see what level your pokemon needs to be before it can evolve.<p>";

if ($pokemon[1]) {

if ($poke[2] >= $pokemon[2]) {

echo "You can evolve your $pokemon[3] into $e[1]. Click the button below to evolve it.";

echo "<form action='evolve.php' method='post'>";

echo "<input type='hidden' name='pok' value='$p'><input type='hidden' name='ev' value='$e[0]'>";

echo "<p><input type='image' src='$butnext' name='submit'></form>";

}

else {

echo "Your pokemon is not a high enough level. Your pokemon must be at level $pokemon[2] before it can evolve.";

}

}

elseif (!$pokemon[1]) {

echo "This pokemon does not evolve.";

}
?>

This is how it is currently, where right now it only works if the pokemon has just one form to evolve into (it does not work for multiple forms). (Example - It will work for Pikachu because Pikachu`s only choice is Raichu. But it won`t work for Eevee because has 7 forms to choose from.)

No one has any idea, huh? XD It is a bit of a stumper.

[djfox]

Wait, wait, I got it.

 

<?php
$pieces = explode(",", $pokemon[1]);
foreach ($pieces as $evo) {
$res3b = mysql_query("SELECT id, name FROM pokedex WHERE name='$evo'");
$e2 = mysql_fetch_row($res3b);
mysql_free_result($res3b);
if ($e2[1]) {
echo "<input type='radio' name='ev' value='$e2[0]'> $e2[1] <br>";
}
?>

I should`ve seen this sooner. XD This works for both single choices and multiple choices.
