if - elseif-else not work

[Nappi]

Hi all

 

I have a problem with this code

 

$mylines = new xml_line("xmlfile.xml", "hixml");
$mylines->get_record(0,"member","");
$mylines->xml_stream();

for ($i = 0; $i <= 500; $i++) {

$name = $mylines->table_result[0][$i]['nickname'];
$rang = $mylines->table_result[0][$i]['rank_name'];
$prof = $mylines->table_result[0][$i]['profession'];
$lvl = $mylines->table_result[0][$i]['level'];
 $res = $mylines->table_result[0][$i]['photo_url'];
$image = substr($res, 47);

if ($rang == 'President' or 'General') {

$file = one.txt';
$filename = './templates/one.html';

} elseif ($rang == 'Squad Commander') {

$file = 'two.txt';
$filename = './templates/two.html'; 

} else {

$file = 'three.txt';
$filename = './templates/three.html'; 

}

 

The variable $file and $filename is not set like i will, all entris are in the first files "one.txt and one.html" waths wrong ?

This is not how you write an "if" statement with an "or"

<?php
if ($rang == 'President' or 'General') {
?>

use

<?php
if ($rang == 'President' || $rang == 'General') {
?>

 

You're missing an initial single quote here:

<?php
$file = one.txt';
?>

use

<?php
$file = 'one.txt';
?>

Okay I'll try to explain

 

after the loop is the only variable in what condition are as specified for the loop is. Only the entries by Squad Commander are made so by Squad Commander

 

At the moment he write everything into the last, tree.html, file. without having made a assignment.

 

I've also have treated each section for themselves.

 

if ($rang == 'President' || $rang == 'General') {
    $file1 = './templates/one.html';  
//sicher gehen, dass die Datei existiert und beschreibbar ist
if (is_writable($file1)) {

     // Wir ffnen $filename im "Anhnge" - Modus.
     // Der Dateizeiger befindet sich am Ende der Datei, und
     // dort wird $somecontent spter mit fwrite() geschrieben.
     if (!$handle = fopen($file1, "w")) {
          exit;
     }

     // Schreibe $somecontent in die geffnete Datei.
     if (!fwrite($handle, $content)) {
         exit;
     }


     fclose($handle);


  }
}

 

for the second

 

if  ($rang == 'Squad Commander' && ($rang != 'President' || $rang != 'General')) {
     $file2= './templates/two.html';  
//sicher gehen, dass die Datei existiert und beschreibbar ist
if (is_writable($file2)) {

     // Wir ffnen $filename im "Anhnge" - Modus.
     // Der Dateizeiger befindet sich am Ende der Datei, und
     // dort wird $somecontent spter mit fwrite() geschrieben.
     if (!$handle = fopen($file2, "w")) {
          exit;
     }

     // Schreibe $somecontent in die geffnete Datei.
     if (!fwrite($handle, $content)) {
         exit;
     }


     fclose($handle);


  }
}

 

If I do so, I write everything from the first row to the last line of the entry in my file.

 

But I would like only the messages of - such as "squad commander" - have, everything before and after should not be written to the file.

 

I hope you can help me
