Check first two characters of field

[werushka]

I have a code which I made just up

<?php if ($product->title == '01'); print "Earring"; ?>
<?php if ($product->title == '02'); print "Necklace"; ?>
<?php if ($product->title == '03'); print "Necklace"; ?>
<?php if ($product->title == '04'); print "Ring"; ?>

I just want to check the product titles first 2 characters and print according to that.

Example: If $product->title is "01DSE32" print Earring. This checking must be strgn  or something like that which I don't remember. I would appreciate some feedback.

substr.

if (substr($product['title'], 0, 2) == "01"){
$variable = "do something with it";
}

 

well you get the idea, can do what you need by checking the variable

$variable_first_two = substr($variable, 0, 2);

I appreciate your fast reply

 

I have written this but gave me white screen of death, I couldn't understand why

<?php if (substr($product['title'], 0, 2) == "01"){ print "Earring";}?>

I just tried this and it worked.

 

<?php
$product['title'] = 01;
if (substr($product['title'], 0, 2) == "01"){ print "Earring";}
?>

Isn't your value in $product->title ?

[werushka]

yes

Then that's the variable name you need to put into the code (don't just use code without reading it because it may not have anything to do with what you are doing.)

<?php if (substr($product->title, 0, 2) == "01"){ echo t('Earring');}?>
