[SOLVED] Elseif Statement

[SkyRanger]

I am not sure if it too early in the morning or what, but I am having a major brain fart..lol.  This is what I need, not sure if switch would work better though:

 

          
$allowaccess = "";
    if($access == "9") {
        $allowaccess = "  <a class=\"sidelink\" href=\"../office.php\">The Office</a><br>
<?=$officelink; ?>
<br>";
} elseif($access == "8") {
        $allowaccess = "  <a class=\"sidelink\" href=\"../office.php\">The Office</a><br>
<?=$officelink; ?>
<br>";
    } 
} elseif($access == "7") {
        $allowaccess = "  <a class=\"sidelink\" href=\"../office.php\">The Office</a><br>
<?=$officelink; ?>
<br>";
    } } elseif($access == "6") {
        $allowaccess = "  <a class=\"sidelink\" href=\"../office.php\">The Office</a><br>
<?=$officelink; ?>
<br>";
    } 
   ..etc
        echo $allowaccess;

 

Yeah, yeah i know <?= is not proper but it is old code.  Or is there an easier way than this?  like

 

if($access >="4") {

did you try your own suggestion? it should work

If you only want access numbers 6 through to 9 to show a link to office.php just use a simple if statement:

// if access greater than or equal to 6 and is less than or equal to 9
// echo link to office.php
if($access >= 6 && $access <= 9)
{
    echo "  <a class=\"sidelink\" href=\"../office.php\">The Office</a><br>";
}

try using switch

 

switch(variable) {
case "1";
execute commands;
break;

case "1";
execute commands;
break;

 

it goes something like that.  go to php.net and search for switch

Thanks wildteen88, that worked exactly as I needed it.  I had that earlier but forgot to put && only had 1 & and couldn't figure out the problem..lol
