[mme]

Whats wrong with this code I get the error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting '(' in /home/mamihoo/public_html/test/check.php on line 3

 

<?php
include("settings.php");
if $disable = "true" {printf("The Website you are trying to reach is currently unavailible"); exit;}
if $update = "true" {printf("The Website you are trying to reach is currently being updated"); exit;}
if $disbale = "false"
{
if $update = "false" {
header( 'Location: pass.html' ) ;}}
?>

Your arguments aren't wrapped in parenthesis () for your if statements.

As wildteen88 said, try this:

 

<?php

include("settings.php");

if ($disable = "true")

  {printf("The Website you are trying to reach is currently unavailible"); exit;}

if ($update = "true")

  {printf("The Website you are trying to reach is currently being updated"); exit;}

if ($disbale = "false")

  {

  if ($update = "false")

      {header( 'Location: pass.html' ) ;}

  }

?>

Also, you need to use the double "==" for comparison, not the single "=".

Thanks the code seems to be working however when the variables are all set to false it just shows a blank page instead of the specified html page.

<?php

include("settings.php");

if ($disable = "true") {printf("The Website you are trying to reach is currently unavailible"); exit;}

if ($update = "true") {printf("The Website you are trying to reach is currently being updated"); exit;}

if ($disbale = "false")

  {

  elseif ($update = "false")

      {header( 'Location: pass.html' ) ;}

  }

?>

 

Try this. I'm still kinda new to php but I think that might work.

I don't think that will work. You telling the code to exit here:

 

if ($disable = "true") {printf("The Website you are trying to reach is currently unavailible"); exit;}

 

so nothing after that will execute.

[derrick24]

Ignore my last comment, try this.

 

<?php
//include("settings.php");
$update = false;
$disable = false;
if ($update == "true") {printf("The Website you are trying to reach is currently being updated"); exit;}
if ($disable == "true") 
{
printf("The Website you are trying to reach is currently unavailible"); exit;
}
else
{
header('Location: pass.html');
}
?>

See the difference

$disable AND $disbale

I do now, I would try use something similar to this method:

 

<?php
//include("settings.php");
// $status can be ready, updating or disabled
$status = "ready";
switch($status)
{
// View Website
case "ready" :
header('Location: pass.html');
break;

// Website is been updated
case "updating" :
print "This website is being updated.";
break;

// Website is disabled
case "disabled" :
print "This website is disabled.";
break;
}
?>

Thanks 

 

Works perfectly

Sorry I just thought of something. what if the variable status is something that is not in the switch statment command how can I make it display a something instead of a blank page?

 

eg;

 

status = "hhfiudh"

 

currently it displays a blank page

how would I make it display something?

[kenrbnsn]

You would need to put a "default" case into your switch statment.

The header function must be called before any HTML on the page.
