tekrscom Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I was wondering, if you have several instances in which you use the same method of conversion for all variables from your database to your code, is there a way to effect them all, i.e.; if($any_variable == '0'){$any_variable = "No";} if($any_variable == '1'){$any_variable = "Yes";} or if($any_variable == '0'){$any_variable = "Pending";} if($any_variable == '1'){$any_variable = "Closed";} or if($any_variable == '0'){$any_variable = "";} // Was also curious about this, is there a better way, instead of just using empty quotes, like some way to destroy the variable so it doesn't show anything? if($any_variable == '1'){$any_variable = "Here is whatever";} Its just that when you have to repeat this several times, for several different variables, it seems to make for alot of extra strung around code.

utexas_pjm Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Was also curious about this, is there a better way, instead of just using empty quotes, like some way to destroy the variable so it doesn't show anything? http://us2.php.net/unset I'm not really sure what the first part of your question is asking.

taith Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 if you have them with specific $var names... no theres prolly not a better way of getting at them $var names... if you want to destroy $vars... unset($var1,$var2); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/48455-ifany_variable-0any_variable-no/#findComment-236933 Share on other sites More sharing options...
taith Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 ohya... also with... if($any_variable == '0'){$any_variable = "No";} if($any_variable == '1'){$any_variable = "Yes";} you prolly want to code it this way... its alot faster ;-)... switch($any_variable){ case "0": $any_variable="No"; break; case "1": $any_variable="Yes"; break; } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/48455-ifany_variable-0any_variable-no/#findComment-236938 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekrscom Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Ok, I just wasn't sure if there was a way to look for any variable that equalled 0, then change it to equal something else.
