Strange wildcard problem

[mforan]

<?php
$info[92] ="test";
if ($info[92] =="%test%") {
$reason = "Blah.";
}
?>

 

it doesnt work, lol. any idea?

 

(when echo'd $reason doesn't show anything.)

"test" != "%test%"

 

They are two different strings and are not equal. I think you are confusing the MySQL functionality when using LIKE. E.g.

SELECT * FROM table WHERE field LIKE '%test%'

 

That would match records where the field1 value is 'test'. The same does not hold true when doing a string comparison in PHP.

 

I think you are looking for a regex solution. But, since you have not provided details of what you are trying to accomplish I can't say for sure.

basically got a list of data that i wanna output, but the same data is in $info[92] (like "test - blah blah blah")

thought a wildcard would work, hmmm lol....

Use strpos

[mforan]

that works just means you have to write something like this:

<?php 
$findme= 'Hacking';
$hacking = strpos($info[92], $findme);
$findme= 'Farming';
$farming = strpos($info[92], $findme);
$findme= 'Multiple Accounts';
$multiple = strpos($info[92], $findme);
$findme= 'Glitch abuse';
$glitch = strpos($info[92], $findme);
$findme= 'Verbal Abuse';
$verbal = strpos($info[92], $findme);
$findme= 'Proxy';
$proxy = strpos($info[92], $findme);
$findme= 'Other';
$other = strpos($info[92], $findme);
if ($hacking !== false) {$reason = "Banned for hacking into someone elses account and/or farming/deleting the user.";}
if ($farming !== false) {$reason = "Banned for merging two or more of your accounts together into one account.";}
if ($multiple !== false) {$reason = "Having more than one account constitutes an immediate ban of all the users account's. If you feel this has happened unjustly, contact support.";}
if ($glitch !== false) {$reason = "Banned for abusing in-game glitches and using them to your advantage without informing Admin.";}
if ($verbal !== false) {$reason = "Banned for using foul or inappropriate language within the game.";}
if ($proxy !== false) {$reason = "Banned for use of proxy's and potential multiple account usage.";}
if ($other !== false) {$reason = "Banned at Admin discretion.";}
?>

No, that would be overkill. If you had simply stated in your first post what you were trying to achieve this would have been solved days ago.

 

<?php

$banList = array(
    'Hacking' => "Banned for hacking into someone elses account and/or farming/deleting the user.",
    'Farming' => "Banned for merging two or more of your accounts together into one account.",
    'Multiple Accounts' => "Having more than one account constitutes an immediate ban of all the users account's. If you feel this has happened unjustly, contact support.",
    'Glitch abuse' => "Banned for abusing in-game glitches and using them to your advantage without informing Admin.",
    'Verbal Abuse' => "Banned for using foul or inappropriate language within the game.",
    'Proxy' => "Banned for use of proxy's and potential multiple account usage.",
    'Other' => "Banned at Admin discretion."

);

$userBanReasons = array();
foreach($banList as $banTitle => $banReason)
{
    if(preg_match("/$banTitle/i", $info[92])>1)
    {
        $userBanReasons[] = $banReason;
    }
}

if(count($userBanReasons)>0)
{
    $reasons = "You were banned for the following reason(s):<br />\n" . implode("<br />\n", $userBanReasons);
}

?>
