[PHP] Re:[PHP] IF ELSEIF ELSE??

2001-08-03 Thread Jack Sasportas

First you should manage your code nicer so that it is easier to read
and troubleshoot.  Go through this to find my notes...

if (!$HTTP_POST_VARS) { exit();}
elseif ($HTTP_POST_VARS) {
if (!$Age) { echo Please enter your age.br\n;
} if

Why would you use elseif above ? you are asking the full question in
the first line
if (!$HTTP_POST_VARS) { exit();}

if it's NOT then why say elseif, it's else, it's either one or the
other...that's one thing.

so lets change it to this:
if (!$HTTP_POST_VARS) {
exit();
} else {
if (!$Age) {
echo Please enter your age.br\n;
}

if (!$Email) {
echo Please enter your email.br\n;
}

if (!$State) {
echo Please enter your Location.br\n;
}

(MARK)
} else ( RIGHT HERE YOU DID NOT OPEN THE REST OF THE ELSE )
echo Thanks for your submission.;

( RIGHT HERE YOU DID NOT CLSE THEN END OF THE CONDITION )


so the last lines replacing after (MARK) should look like this

} else {
echo Thanks for your submission.;
}


As you can see keeping the code in this format makes it a lot easier to
see what is being exectued within the condition, allows you to see the
open  closes of the brackets, and should have easily let you see you
were missing something.


Hope that explains it

Just curious but that last else you told him to put in... what is that
referring to?  There is already an else statement, you can't have another.
Unless you're putting the else statement after the if (!$State) which you
would need to subtract the } before the else, but this would give you
undesired results since this is just an else for the !$State statement.

I could be missing what you were getting at.. it's definitely possible :)

Yes, I see what you mean...
In showing why the last section didn't work, I messed up the actual
overall
logic of the code.
I should have noticed that...nice catch

so for clarification where it says (MARK) should be
echo Thanks for your submission.;
}

Thanks...
