[SOLVED] what am i doing wrong here?

[mike3800]

if ($gp['gp_pay']) {$gp_pay="<a href='yourgang.php?action=staff&act2=masspayment'>Mass Payment</a>";}

if ($gp['gp_pay']) {$gp_pay="<a href='yourgang.php?action=staff&act2=masscpayment'>Mass Crystal Payment</a>";}

 

im sure you can see i am attempting to make an otion for a mass cash and mass crystal payout in a game

 

the mass cash payout was in the game and functional. when i added the crystal code, the link for the mass cash payment disappeared. i think my problem is in the code above, but im very new at this and not too sure what to do.

 

the mass crystal payout works fine

[MadTechie]

erm.. shouldn't

<?php
<a href='yourgang.php?action=staff&act2=masspayment'>Mass Payment[/url]
?>

 

be

 

<?php
<a href='yourgang.php?action=staff&act2=masspayment'>Mass Payment</a>
?>

[mike3800]

i think the forum added that

 

if ($gp['gp_pay']) {$gp_pay="<a href='yourgang.php?action=staff&act2=masspayment'>Mass Payment</a>";}

if ($gp['gp_pay']) {$gp_pay="<a href='yourgang.php?action=staff&act2=masscpayment'>Mass Crystal Payment</a>";}

 

 

yeah, the forum changed it. i just checked and recopied and pasted and after i submitted, it made it /url

[MadTechie]

i am refering to the

[/url]

not being a

</a>

 

paste it in again but before posting, select the code and click the # button

[mike3800]

if ($gp['gp_oc']) {$gp_oc="<a href='yourgang.php?action=staff&act2=crimes'>Organised Crimes</a>";}
if ($gp['gp_pay']) {$gp_pay="<a href='yourgang.php?action=staff&act2=masspayment'>Mass Payment</a>";}

 

there we go

[mike3800]

thats how it looks

[HaLo2FrEeEk]

It is becuase basically you are checking the same thing twice:

 

if ($gp['gp_pay']) {$gp_pay="<a href='yourgang.php?action=staff&act2=masspayment'>Mass Payment</a>";}
if ($gp['gp_pay']) {$gp_pay="<a href='yourgang.php?action=staff&act2=masscpayment'>Mass Crystal Payment</a>";}

 

you are checking against $gp['gp_pay'] twice, so first it is setting it to the mass payment link, then (since it is still true) it is setting it to the mass crystal payment, you either need to make two different variables in the (I assume youa re using an array) one for each mass pay and mass crystal, or append the mass crystal to the mass payment.

[MadTechie]

:-X How did i not spot that... it was either the 5am time here making me think it was echoing..

 

if ($gp['gp_pay']) {$gp_pay="<a href='yourgang.php?action=staff&act2=masspayment'>Mass Payment</a>";}
if ($gp['gp_pay']) {$gp_pay="<a href='yourgang.php?action=staff&act2=masscpayment'>Mass Crystal Payment</a>";}

 

change the 2nd $gp_pay to $gp_payc (or whatever) the find where $gp_pay is being used and repeat for $gp_payc,

 

(credit to HaLo2FrEeEk )

[mike3800]

can i just change it to ($gp['gp_payc]) {$gp_payc=" etc etc etc

[mike3800]

lol. you beat me to it. ill try that

[mike3800]

i must be stupid. i see the 2 places in the code i posted where i need to change it to "payc", but i cant find it anywhere else

[HaLo2FrEeEk]

Try not to triple post.

 

Don't forget that if you set it to a different variable you need to echo both variables, so if you use $gp_payc and $gp_pay, you need to echo both $gp_payc and $gp_pay.

sorry about the posts. this is frustrating me a little. lol

 

if ($gp['gp_pay']) {$gp_pay="<a href='yourgang.php?action=staff&act2=masspayment'>Mass Payment</a>";}

if ($gp['gp_payc']) {$gp_payc="<a href='yourgang.php?action=staff&act2=masscpayment'>Mass Crystal Payment</a>";}

 

thats what it looks like now. is there somewhere else i need to change gp_pay to gp_payc? i cant find anywhere else

[wildteen88]

Does $gp['gp_payc'] even exist? What sort of data does $gp['gp_pay'] hold?

[mike3800]

i dont know. lol. im really new at this and just trying to understand what im doing wrong

  die ();
  }
$_POST['amnt']=abs((int) $_POST['amnt']);
if($_POST['amnt'])
{
$q=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE gang={$ir['gang']}",$c);

those are the code for the mass cash payment and mass crystal payment

[HaLo2FrEeEk]

I didn't read the code, but $gp[gp_pay] is an array, the array's name is $gp, it this array does not exist, calling it up will do nothing, you need to create an associative array (thats what this is) with the values (at least) gp_pay and gp_payc.  When a variable is called up in php, if it exists, the value in it is used, if it does not exist, it is created then the value returned, often times, it is created empty or null.
