[PHP-DB] How to recognize which 'case' is being echoed by switch statement
Hi,
This is my first time using php in my site navigation, I have the code
for all the pages in one file and I am using the switch statement to
change between them.
This is working great but I am now trying to change the css id of the
current page's navbar link. How do I get my script to recognize which
case is currently being echoed by the switch statement?
If you want to see the page in action without php in the navbar visit
here: http://www.publikdesign.com
Here is the code:
html
head
link href=css/styles.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css
/head
body
div id=page-container
!--- Header ---
div id=header
div id=nav
ul
?php
$page = case;
if ( $page = contact ) {
echo li
id=\contact-active\/li; }
else {
echo li id=\contact\a href=\./?page=contact\Contact/
a/li; }
?
?php
if ( $page = portfolio ) {
echo li
id=\portfolio_active\/li; }
else {
echo li id=\portfolio\a href=\./?page=portfolio
\Portfolio/a/li; }
?
?php
if ( $page = home ) {
echo li
id=\home-active\/li; }
else {
echo li id=\home\a
href=\./?page=home\Home/a/li; }
?
/ul
/div
/div
!--- End Header ---
!--- Main ---
div id=main-content
?php
switch($_GET['page']) {
case contact:
echo !--- Left Content ---
div id=\left-content\
div id=\left-top\

$page = case; will be raising a notice which you're obviously not
seeing. So, step 1 is to edit PHP.ini on your development machine so
error_reporting is E_ALL, and display_errors is on. You'll need to
restart your web server for this change to take effect.
The case keyword is not valid outside a switch block. What you want to
be doing is comparing contact etc with $_GET['page'] which is the
variable the switch statement is using.
Additionally you are using a single = which is the assignment
operator, so each if statement is assigning the quoted string to $page
not testing for it. You need to use == to do that.
I would suggest you buy a book on PHP for beginners, or Google for an
introductory tutorial because these are pretty basic syntax mistakes.

[PHP-DB] Encrypting user information and Data Retention Laws (US)
Hey all! I am working on a DB app atm, and I would like to encrypt all user information, or hash it (I still haven't finalized the design). My goal is to make it that should the DB be compromised customers cannot be identified. This in itself is not very difficult. However, does anyone know how the new US data rentention laws would apply to this? I don't want my users to be identifiable by anyone, myself included but this seems to be contradictory to the laws. Does anyone know how they would apply? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

None of your code included a case/switch piece. This is probably
what you mean:
?
$page = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
switch($page) {
case contact.php:
$css = li id=\contact-active\/li;
break;
case portfolio.php:
$css = li id=\portfolio-active\/li;
break;
case whoweare.php:
$css = li id=\whoweare-active\/li;
break;
default:
$css = li id=\home-active\/li;
break;
}
