n00bert Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 ok I have been using this switch function with no problems on my old server. Now that I have switched to a new server it no longer works. So i'm almost positive it's a setting in the php.ini or something. It will display the default: just fine but it will not display any of the cases..

n00bert Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 ummm I just figured you knew what a switch function was.. my apologies. <?php switch($page){ default: include 'quotes.php'; break; case quotes: include 'quotes.php'; break; case msgs: include 'messages.php'; break; } ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/164901-solved-switch-function-trouble/#findComment-869565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
seventheyejosh Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 have you tried echoing $page to make sure its hitting a case? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/164901-solved-switch-function-trouble/#findComment-869568 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy-H Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 <?php switch($page) { /* case "quotes": include 'quotes.php'; break; */ case "msgs": include 'messages.php'; break; default: include 'quotes.php'; } ?> Default clause should be last and doesnt require a break; after it. Assuming your cases arent testing for constants you need to quote the strings, if you were using defined constants, remove the quotes I added. //* EDIT No point in having a case that gives the same result as your default clause...

n00bert Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 ok seven you were correct. I tried to echo $page and I got nothing. So I enabled register_globals in my php.ini and now everything works. Andy thanks you as well for the advice. BTW.. should I not enable register globals? is there a better way around this?

seventheyejosh Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 i believe that one of the first rules of php is never ever ever register globals. what part is above your code? how are u getting page? $_REQUEST? post? is it coming via a form? or read from the url?

Zane Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 ok seven you were correct. I tried to echo $page and I got nothing. So I enabled register_globals in my php.ini and now everything works. Andy thanks you as well for the advice. BTW.. should I not enable register globals? is there a better way around this? Yes, register_globals is BAD. instead of $page use $_GET['page'] or $_POST['page']....depending on which one you're using Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/164901-solved-switch-function-trouble/#findComment-869577 Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00bert Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 Ok, I've disabled register_globals again and now i'm using $_GET['page'] instead of page.. everything works great..
