insert IF into an array

[AlexTesler]

Hi people I am new to php and I need your help.

 

I am usig libchart and want to make the bars colored based on value:

 

Original code:

 

 $this->setBarColor(array(
                    new Color(42, 71, 1),          
            ));

 

I want to make something like this:

 

 $this->setBarColor(array(

 

if ( (    condition1     ))

 

new Color(42, 171, 1),  

 

if ( (    condition2     ))

 

new Color(42, 71, 1),

 

if ( (    condition3     ))

 

new Color(42, 71, 211),

       
            ));

 

I do not know php syntax yet, so how can I do this?

 

Thank you,

Alex

try

if (condition1) {
    $this->setBarColor(array(new Color(42, 171, 1)));
}
elseif (condition2) {
    $this->setBarColor(array(new Color(42, 71, 1)));
}
elseif (condition3) {
    $this->setBarColor(array(new Color(42, 71, 211)));
}

No not quite. The if statements will be outside of the array. You save the new color to a variable and pass that variable to setBarColor(). Example

if(condition 1)
{
   $color = new Color(42, 121, 66); // if condition 1 is met set color to this
}
elseif(condition 2)
{
   $color = new Color(98, 88, 161); // if condition 2 is met set color to this
}
elseif(condition 3)
{
   $color = new Color(24, 66, 201); // if condition 3 is met set color to this
}
else
{
   $color = new Color(42, 71, 1); // the default bar color
}

$this->setBarColor(array($color)); // pass the color to setBarColor method.

Use your array like this:

 

array('value1'=>color1,'value2'=>color2,'value3'=>color2);

 

Use it like this:

- determine the condition value

- retrieve array value with that condition with:   $color = array['condition-value']
