if statements

[Th3Boss]

This is how I currently have it setup

 

<?php if ($high1name == "open") { ?>

<div class="module high open">
    <img src="Icon_hi_slot.png" width="46" height="46">
</div>

<?php } elseif ($high1name == "none") { ?>

    <div class="module high inactive">

    </div>

<?php } else { ?>

<div class="module high">
    <img src="http://image.website.com/Type/<?php print($high1typeID);?>_64.png">
    
</div>


<? } ?>
 

 

 

But I would like to have it something like this

 

 

<?php if ($high1name == "open") { ?>

<div class="module high open">
    <img src="Icon_hi_slot.png" width="46" height="46">
</div>

<?php } elseif ($high1name == "ANY VALUE HERE") { ?>

<div class="module high">
    <img src="http://image.website.com/Type/<?php print($high1typeID);?>_64.png">
    
    </div>

<?php } else { ?>

<div class="module high inactive">
    
</div>


<? } ?>
 

 

How do I get the elseif to work for any value $high1name has?

What is the final "else" for?

 

I presume it's for any other value that's not already included in "any value here"

[Th3Boss]

I want it if $high1name == "open" then it shows div 1

if $high1name has any other value show div 2

otherwise show div 3

Wait thats confusing ok, you want

 

$high1name == "open"

$high1name == "ANYTHING ELSE"

$high1name == ""

 

if the second one is going to be anything else what is the logic situation that would occur to reach the else statement?

[Th3Boss]

Actually I just found out about switch statements and this seems to do what I want

 

 

<?php if ($high7name == "") {
?>
<div class="module high inactive">
    </div>
<? } else { ?>


<?
switch ($high7name) {
case "none":
?>
<div class="module high inactive">
    </div>
<? break;?>
<?
case "open":
?>
<div class="module high open">
    <img src="Icon_hi_slot.png" width="46" height="46">
</div>
<? break;?>
<?
default:
?>

<div class="module high">
    <img src="http://image.website.com/Type/<?php print($high7typeID);?>_64.png">
</div>
<? } ?>
<? } ?>

 

Not sure if that is the best way to write it or not but currently it is working as I want it to.

ok and it seems this does the same thing but as an if statement

 

<?php if ($high1name == "open") { ?>

<div class="module high open">
    <img src="Icon_hi_slot.png" width="46" height="46">
</div>

<?php } elseif ($high1name == "") { ?>

    <div class="module high inactive" >

    </div>

<?php } else { ?>

<div class="module high" data-typeid=$high1typeID data-name=$high1name>
    <img src="http://image.website.com/Type/<?php print($high1typeID);?>_64.png">
    
</div>


<? } ?>
 

[Th3Boss]

Would it be best to use the if statements or switch in this situation?

You shouldn't jump in and out of PHP tags like that, it makes for messy code.

 

Try this:

 

<?PHP

  if($highname1 == 'open') {
    $output = '<div class="module high open">
                 <img src="Icon_hi_slot.png" width="46" height="46">
               </div>';
  } else if(strlen(trim($highname1))) {      
    $output = '<div class="module high inactive">
               </div>';
  } else {      
    $output = '<div class="module high" data-typeid=$high1typeID data-name=$high1name>
                 <img src="http://image.website.com/Type/'. $high1typeID .'_64.png">
               </div>';
  }
 
  echo $output;
 
?>

                 <img src="http://image.website.com/Type/'. $high1typeID .'_64.png">
               </div>';
  }
 
  echo $output;
 
?>

 

 

That worked though they were switched around. Works as wanted like this:

 

 

<?PHP

  if($high2name == 'open') {
    $output = '<div class="module high open">
                 <img src="Icon_hi_slot.png" width="46" height="46">
               </div>';
  } else if(strlen(trim($high2name))) {      
    $output = '<div class="module high" data-typeid=$high2typeID data-name=$high2name>
                 <img src="http://image.website.com/Type/'. $high2typeID .'_64.png">
               </div>';
  } else {      
    $output = '<div class="module high inactive">
               </div>';
  }
 
  echo $output;
 
?>
