I had the problem with in my php code(in switch case)

[sasi]

 

 

Hello everybody,

                This is sasi working as a software programmer,and i am working on php from past 2 months and right now i am doing a small convertion program means(converting the string from reading a file(31 records) in to the MySql date format).so the problem is i used the switch case where the value is not checking why it is so happening.please kindly view this and respond to it immediately.

 

here is my code:

<?php

//Open the file from where we have to parse the date format into the MySql date format.

$file = fopen("new.txt","r+")or exit("Unable to open file!");

echo "file opened"."</br>";

//Read the entire file up to the EOF.

while(!feof($file))

{

$string = array();//Array to store the entire data of the file

$string = fgets($file)."</br>";//Reads the entire file

$word = substr($string,3,4)."</br>";//Getting the day from the array which contains the data of the file

//echo "Month is:".$word;

$a = trim($word);

echo "new value:".$a;

$word1 = substr($string,8,2)."</br>";//Getting the month from the array

echo "Date is:".$word1;

$word3 = substr($string,20,4)."</br>";//Getting the year from the array

echo "Year is:".$word3;

$word4 = substr($string,25)."</br>";//Getting the reaming data from the arrray

switch($z)//Switch case to verify and print the month in the number format.

{

 

case "Jan":

echo "checking:".$a;

echo $word3."\t"."-".$word1."-"."01"."\t".$word4;

break;

case "Feb":

echo date("Y")."-".$word1."-"."02"."\t".$word4;

break;

case "Mar":

echo date("Y")."-".$word1."-"."03"."\t".$word4;

break;

    case "Apr":

echo date("Y")."-".$word1."-"."04"."\t".$word4;

break;

case "May":

echo date("Y")."-".$word1."-"."05"."\t".$word4;

    break;

case "Jun":

echo date("Y")."-".$word1."-"."06"."\t".$word4;

break;

case "Jul":

echo date("Y")."-".$word1."-"."07"."\t".$word4;

break;

case "Aug":

echo date("Y")."-".$word1."-"."08"."\t".$word4;

break;

    case "Sep":

echo date("Y")."-".$word1."-"."09"."\t".$word4;

break;

case "Oct":

echo date("Y")."-".$word1."-"."10"."\t".$word4;

break;

case "Nov":

echo date("Y")."-".$word1."-"."11"."\t".$word4;

break;

    case "Dec":

echo date("Y")."-".$word1."-"."12"."\t".$word4;

break;

default:

    echo "final result:".$word;

}*/

 

}//End of the while loop

 

fclose($file);//Close the file

?>

You're doing a "switch($z)", but I don't see $z defined anywhere.

 

Also, please edit your post and put the

 tag before your code and 

after. It will make your code much easier to read.

Sorry that was the mistaken by me $z was printing mistake.I had used $a.

echo $a to check what that value is

i see its trim($word), but maybe it trimmed to much

also add a default statement to your switch statement

 

default:

echo "$a was not any of the cases in my switch statement";

 

*EDIT-- woops obviously you have done these things

since you have done this, you should be able to tell on your own where the script is messing up

 

also you might want to take this out "  }*/"  the "*/"
