In that case you haven't tested FR yet. FR will set it to 152, not 148. Try
this...
if ($_POST['custom'] == 'FR') {
$saving_list = 148;
} elseif ($_POST['custom'] == 'EN') {
$saving_list = 147;
} else {
$saving_list = 152;
}
Personally I'd recommend a switch for this type of logic...
switch ($_POST['custom']) {
case 'FR':
$saving_list = 148;
break;
case 'EN':
$saving_list = 147;
break;
default:
$saving_list = 152;
}
However, given the simplicity of what you're doing, an array would be a lot
more efficient...
$saving_list_options = array(
'FR' => 148,
'EN' => 147,
);
$saving_list = isset($saving_list_options[$_POST['custom']]) ?
$saving_list_options[$_POST['custom']] : 152;
Thinking a little beyond that, is that list of options really hard coded or do
they exist elsewhere (e.g. in a database)? If they do then you really should be
getting the value from there.
