[PHP] Nested IFs Problem
I have the following nested ifs:
if ($row['date'] '2005-10-02') {
if ($row['time'] '12:00') {
if ($row['field'] == 'P5' ) {
echo td class=\tabletextbluebg\Success;
}
}
}
else {
echo td class=\tabletextred\Failed;
}
/td
Whenever the 3 if statements are true, I always get the correct
Success to echo. However, if any or all of the if statements are
false, I never get Failed to echo.
I know it's something simple, but I just can't see it at the moment.
TIA

Re: [PHP] Nested IFs Problem
why not rewrite it to be more concise... i can't see a problem at the
moment. are you sure you can do a comparison operator on the
'12:00' and '2005-10-02' string?? Maybe if you are using 24 hr format
you could just get rid of the : on both sides of the operator to
have the properly evaluated... do the same for the date comparison.
just try each if statement individually. then, when you find the
problem, rewrite like this:
if ((putFirstExpressionHere) (putSecondExpressionHere)
(putThirdExpressionHere)) {
// success
} else {
// failure
}

Just shooting from the hip here, you will never get the Failed echo unless
the FIRST if is false.

Once the first if statement is evaluated as true, the else statement
will never be executed -- regardless of the outcome of the two nested
ifs. I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish here, but perhaps
all three of your if conditions should be combined into one if condition
ANDed () together? Or maybe the if...elseif...else structure is what
you need.
Hope this helps.

I know it's something simple, but I just can't see it at the moment. The code is doing exactly what you told it to do. To make it do what you what you seem to want it to do, get rid of the nested IFs and place all three tests within a single IF. -- == Eric Gorr === http://www.ericgorr.net === Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. - George Washington == Insults, like violence, are the last refuge of the incompetent... === -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

if ($row['field'] == 'P5' ) {
echo td class=\tabletextbluebg\Success;
}
// This, if there was anything, would be executed if the date and the time
condition is true and the field is false
}
// this would be executed if the date condition is true and the time is
false, regardless of what the field condition is
}
else {
// this would be executed only if the date condition is false, regardless of
the other conditions
echo td class=\tabletextred\Failed;
}
/td
So, you better put all the conditions in a single if, joined by 'and' or :
if ($row['date'] '2005-10-02' $row['time'] '12:00' $row['field']
== 'P5' ) {
That would do what you want
