This is how I handle this...

// Define this function somewhere global
function ifsetor($array, $key, $default = null)
{
return (isset($array[$key]) ? $array[$key] : $default);
}

if (ifsetor($arrayA, 'id') == ifsetor($arrayB, 'id') || ifsetor($arrayC, 'id') 
== ifsetor($arrayB, 'id'))...

If you need to avoid a match if neither $arrayA nor $arrayB have an id you 
simply pass a different default for each one.

Thank you, that is quiet an elegant solution.

Very little additional code excluding the function and it could also easily
be extended for multi dimensional arrays by changing $key to an array and
looping through each index in turn.

Correction:  His problem was pointed out to him and he was able to follow

I think I posted yesterday, but I had the double= in the script earlier, but 
it was givning inconsisitant answers, however when I changed the = for== AND 
changed from calling the information from the $_COOKIE to the variable, it 
worked as I had hoped.

Again, thank you to all for helping.

Elseif statements are not solely used to check *one* variable. So in
some situations you can't even use a switch without implementing
if/else statements inside the switch.


BTW:


EX1:
  if ( $value === '0' )
{
echo 'If/ElseIf:   The string value 0'.br;
}

EX3:
   case $value === '' :
  {
  echo 'Switch/Case: The empty string'.br;
  break;
  }



Where is the basic difference in readability?
 Ah yes, the case is missing the brackets ..make it kinda hard to read
for me. .-)

It may be true that you are not using different languages, but without a

the most general form that is understood and practiced by the majority.
You have not made a compelling argument for subverting usual semantics

entangled it with prescription:

You are certainly permitted your opinion, as I am too. I am offering my
opinion that your advice is bunk... and I have followed it up with
argument to back my stated views.

This is certainly true, when you program for yourself, and you will be
the only maintainer of that code. But down the road it is quite likely
someone else will view that code and think to themself... WTF! And that
makes it a poor judgement call. Anyone can write Perl, but how many can
write Perl that a newbie can understand?

 I admit that you are a better php programmer than I, and I usually 
 learn from you, but on this point I can't follow.

I'm not looking for gratification... merely hoping to ensure that
readers of your niche style understand that it is niche, and that it is
not really the best option of all available options. You are welcome to
disagree, your opinion is your own, but as you have argued, we are all
entitled to our opinion. Those opinions with the greatest merit should

I hate to dogpile on Tedd, who's probably a better coder than I, but
I'll disagree on two points:

1. I have no problems with the execution or readability of elseif. In
fact, I'm grateful for it, since some languages don't have it.

2. I consider Tedd's use of the switch/case construct an abuse. The list
has seen this debate before, and Tedd's way of doing it is *legal*. But
in my opinion, the variable which switch tests should be the only one
tested, as:

switch ($var) {
case 'alfa':
...
break;
case 'bravo':
...
break;
}

not:

switch (true) {
case $var1 == 'alfa':
...
break;
case $var2 == 'bravo':
...
break;
}

I also appreciate the argument about doing it as it's done in other
languages. Tedd's right, this isn't those other languages. But when you
code in other languages as well as PHP, doing it the same way in all of
them really helps. The lack of semicolon line endings in Python drives
me nuts. Perhaps worse, Python has no switch/case construct. For some
reason van Rossum eschewed this in favor of if/else/elif. Ugh.

Ultimately, it's Tedd's choice, and if the code works, it works. I just
wouldn't do it that way. I agree with Robert-- if I saw code like this I
had to maintain, I'd be slightly miffed.

No problem.

Some days you're the windshield and some days you're the bug.

Hey, I've been wrong before -- I'm used to it.

But in my defense, I've always had major problems understanding long ifelse's.

You see, I'm dyslexic and I can not follow those long constructs 
(i.e., more than two decisions). I've always been able to work around 
the problem.


Sure the way php allows switch(true) is very opportunistic for me, 
but it's legal. I've seen a lot worse, not that my practicing such 
grants me permission to do so. But I don't seriously think that 
anyone who reviews my code would be confused as to what I was doing 
using a switch in such fashion.

I've alread a solution, just forgot to post here  :) 
Anthony gave me the hint as he sent me a list of the datatypes accepted
by bind_param and so I checked the datatypes of the variables and have
seen that $auction_house[id] was a string and not an integer.
After I converted it to an integer, it works properly.

I don't know exactly why it worked if I did bind_param in the loop but I
think it's because it saw there that I gave him a string and converted
it automatically to integer.

I checked the statement now without the loop, but defined the variables

 MySQL returns Column 'auction_house' cannot be null.
 Here're some parts of my code:

 --- code ---

 $update = $this-sql-stmt_init();
 $update-prepare(UPDATE auctions SET name=?, auction_house=?, link=?,
 prize=?, runtime=?, bids=?, picture=? WHERE link=?);
 $update-bind_param(sisdsiss, $auction_parts[name],
 $auction_house[id], $auction_parts[link], $auction_parts[prize],
 $auction_parts[runtime], $auction_parts[bids],
 $auction_parts[picture], $auction_parts[link]);

 $insert = $this-sql-stmt_init();
 $insert-prepare(INSERT INTO auctions (auction_house, name, link,
 prize, runtime, bids, picture) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?));
 $insert-bind_param(issdsis, $auction_house[id],
 $auction_parts[name], $auction_parts[link], $auction_parts[prize],
 $auction_parts[runtime], $auction_parts[bids],
 $auction_parts[picture]);

 --- /code ---

 after this, there's the loop, in which I do either $update-execute();
 or $insert-execute(); - the $update-execute(); runs without problems
 but the $insert-execute runs into the described problem.

So at some point the $auction_parts['id'] is empty.

As you go into the loop, print out the $auction_house[id], then work
backwards...

I output already some variables in the loop and all are set with correct
values.
As I said, if I do the bind_param inside the loop it works without
problems. So there's a difference in doing it before the loop and inside
the loop causing this problem.

 It's starting to get a noticeable (although not major) lag.  It's probably
 the multiple MySQL queries, which I'm going to attempt to minimise and

 does the process of PHP digging it's way through multiple nested if()
 statements slow down PHP, perhaps in comparison to a single line with an
 include?

If() statements definitely slow programs down.  BUT, the size of the
code inside the if satement isn't the real issue.  It's the process of
making the true/false decision that takes the work.  Of course, the
longer the code inside the if statement, the longer it takes run that
particular part of the code if that code is executed.


 I personally like developing with include() files and keeping everything
 modular,

Regarding includes, they add overhead.  Includes come in handy where
the included file is used in other scripts too.


 Is there a good way to time scripts too?  All I can think of is comparing
 time() or microtime() from the start and end of the scripts.

Yep.  That's the simplest thing to do, but I believe there are 
benchmarking classes/functions out there.

Re: [PHP] IF Statements

2002-05-15 Thread 1LT John W. Holmes

When in doubt, add in some carriage returns to space everything out to see
if your braces match up.

 if
(
($this-checkReferralCB($this-benefitRef, $this-benefitNo,
$this-childDOB))

(!$this-checkLocation($this-post, W))

(!empty($this-childDOB))
)
||
($this-checkPregnancy($this-benefitRef, $this-benefitNo))

You can see from that, that there is a brace missing around the entire
statement. So your logic probably isn't working how you thought it would,
either. You'll have to put it all back together to actually execute the
code, but this will help you on large statements like this to make sure your
logic and syntax is correct.

if ($action=='list') {
  if (!$clientcode) {

I put the $clientcode test inside the $action test because I suppose you take
different actions on $clientcode depending on $action - if that's not the
case, simply switch the two if's.

This assumes that $clientcode0. If you also use 0, then test if
(!isset($clientcode)) instead.

If i understand correctly, you need something like this...

$sql = select clientcode from table where clientcode='$var';
$qu = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());

if(mysql_num_rows($qu)=='0') {
//does not exist
} else {
//exists
//loop through records here.
}

Your logic is correct.  If the code within the braces isn't working it's
likely there's either an error in the code within the braces or $date and
$hour aren't returning the values you expect.  Try echoing them before the
if statement to verify they contain the values you expect.
