if statement

[ohdang888]

ok i'm having a problem with this....

 

the page is "edit_settings.php?source=1"

 

this is where the problem is:

 

function sql_quote($data) {
  if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
  $data = stripslashes($data);
  }

return addslashes($data);
}

$id = $_SESSION['id'];
$new = sql_quote($GET['source']);


if ($new == 1){
echo 'You have successfully reigstered!';
echo '<br>';
echo '<font size=6>';
echo 'IMPORTANT: Please take a moment to review your profile settings.';
}

 

but the "you have registersed" and "take a moment" is not showing up at all. whats wrong?

 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated! thanks.

if ($new == "1"){

 

 

 

try that...

[teng84]

echo $new ;

 

to see why!

[teng84]

if ($new == "1"){

 

 

 

try that...

 

$new==1 and $new=="1"  is the same 

not unless you do this  1==='1'  so it will give you false

[ohdang888]

when i echo $new, nothing comes up, so "1" isn't even stored in it.

 

what wrong with my the grabbing part of my code then?

[teng84]

no return value

 

function sql_quote($data) {
  if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
  $data = stripslashes($data);
  }

should be

function sql_quote($data) {
  if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
  $data = stripslashes($data);
   return $data ;
  }

 

[ohdang888]

its still not working.

 

 

but what does return data mean?

[teng84]

your calling the function right so if its not returning any value then your variable not be set because the function does nothing

 

do you have a value for this $GET['source']  tho echo that and ill try to fix your logic

[ohdang888]

echo $GET['source'];

 

that is also doing nothing, it must be higher up.

[teng84]

echo $GET['source'];

 

that is also doing nothing, it must be higher up.

 

is that really $GET['source']; and not $_GET['source']; ???

 

once you manage to get the value of the $_GET add the code i gave you and you'll be fine
