elseif parse error :(

[DataSpy]

<?php

if ($order == "etitle") {

    $ordername = English Name;}  <=== line 102

elseif ($order == "type") {

    $ordername = Type;}

else ($order == "entered") {

    $ordername = Date Entered;}

?> 

 

and the error I get is "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\xampp\www\test\anime2.php on line 102"

 

Thanx in advance any help would be greatly appretiated!

you need to put the strings in quotes

[hvle]

$ordername = 'English Name';

[DataSpy]

<?php

if ($order == "etitle") {

    $ordername = 'English Name';}

elseif ($order == "type") {

    $ordername = 'Type';}

else ($order == "entered") {  <=== line 105

    $ordername = 'Date Entered';}

?>

 

Now it says "Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\xampp\www\test\anime2.php on line 105". 

 

Will the errors ever stop  :'(

[hvle]

yes eventually, if you learn to write correct code.

 

else ($order == "entered") { 

change to

else {

You can also use a switch statement here:

<?php
switch ($order) {
    case 'etitle':
         $ordername = 'English Title';
         break;
    case 'type':
         $ordername = 'Type';
         break;
    case 'entered':
         $ordername = 'Date Entered';
         break;
    default:
         $ordername = 'Unknown';
}
?>
