Calling a function on an IF/ELSE I think

[DanDewey]

Hi There, I'm new to php but using WordPress and gravity forms I'm learning.  I'm struggling to get a function working and wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction or at least explain the solution in a more basic way, please.

Currently, I have 3 functions named beta_pay, Mileage & CC which trigger 3 separate line entries from a gravity form submission into MySQL, what I am trying to do is combine the function into one or write at least a cleaner function that enables an IF control based on form entry so that a separate line is generated if criteria are met.

I've tried adding an IF/Else statement to call them at the end of beta_pay but it just causes a critical error. Any input would be great and for reference, I've left mysql_connect("") blank to keep server settings secure.

 

Thanks in advance

Dan

The concept is

On submission run function beta_pay

add_action("gform_after_submission_123", "beta_pay", 10, 2);
function beta_pay($entry, $form){
    
$Name = $entry["1"];
$Service = $entry["3"];
$Value = $entry["4"];
$Qty = $entry["11"];
$MileageRate = $entry["10"];
$MileageQty = $entry["5"];
$CCRate = $entry["12"];
$CCQty = $entry["13"];

$con=mysqli_connect("");
mysqli_query($con,"INSERT INTO beta_pay (Name,Type,Value,Qty) VALUES ('$Name','$Service','$Value','$Qty')");
}

 

Then If $MileageQTY > 0 run function Mileage as well if not then skip

add_action("gform_after_submission_123", "Mileage", 10, 2);
function Mileage($entry, $form){

$Name = $entry["1"];
$Service = "Fixed-Milage";
$MileageRate = $entry["10"];
$MileageQty = $entry["5"];

$con=mysqli_connect("");
mysqli_query($con,"INSERT INTO beta_pay (Name,Type,Value,Qty) VALUES ('$Name','$Service','$MileageRate','$MileageQty')");
}

 

Then If $CCQTY > 0 run the function called CC as well if not skip

add_action("gform_after_submission_123", "CC", 10, 2);
function CC($entry, $form){
    
$Name = $entry["1"];
$Service = "Congestion Charge";
$CCRate = $entry["12"];
$CCQty = $entry["13"];

$con=mysqli_connect("");
mysqli_query($con,"INSERT INTO beta_pay (Name,Type,Value,Qty) VALUES ('$Name','$Service','$CCRate','$CCQty')");
}

Make your functions just do nothing if the condition is not met.

function Mileage($entry, $form){
  $MileageQty = $entry["5"];
  if ($MileageQty <= 0){
  	return;
  }
  
  $Name = $entry["1"];
  $Service = "Fixed-Milage";
  $MileageRate = $entry["10"];


  $con=mysqli_connect("");
  mysqli_query($con,"INSERT INTO beta_pay (Name,Type,Value,Qty) VALUES ('$Name','$Service','$MileageRate','$MileageQty')");
}

Since you only want the function to run if $MileageQty is > 0, you check if it's 0 or less and if so, return.  Return will exit the function, so nothing that comes after it will be executed.

Absolute legend, I was trying to run each as a seperate function but got nowhere the Return piece makes so much sense thank you
