[method]

Hi all. i am making 2 diffrent calles to a php script and inside that php script i use if statment to do diffrent things. Unfortently the way i coded the if statment the second else if statment never get executed. It always get ignore and first else if get excuted instead!!

I want for each diffrent calls ONLY one of else if statments get excuted. could any one tell me what i am doing wrong here.Thanks



First type of call for first else if:

Code:

http://localhost/script.php?cmd=file&file=visitorWantsToChat&site=20202020&channel=web&d=1177857195924&referrer=%28engage%29%20http%3A//localhost/1.html

Second type of call for second else if:

Code:

http://localhost/script.php?cmd=file&file=visitorWantsToChat&Pushed=true&site=20202020&channel=web&d=1177857103511&referrer=http%3A//localhost/1.html

script.php

PHP Code:

<?



$cmd   = $_GET['cmd'];

$file   = $_GET['file'];

$Pushed   = $_GET['Pushed'];



if ($cmd=="dive")

{

// do this1

}

else if ($cmd=="file" && $file=="visitorWantsToChat")

{

//do this2



}

else if ($cmd=="file" && $file=="visitorWantsToChat" && $Pushed=="true")

{





//do this3



}



?>

It's a logical error. Try changing the order, like this:

PHP Code:

else if ($cmd=="file" && $file=="visitorWantsToChat" && $Pushed=="true")
{
//do this

}
else if ($cmd=="file" && $file=="visitorWantsToChat")

Thanks . do you think i need any break statment for first else if to avoid the second else if statment from running when i call the script :

Code:

http://localhost/script.php?cmd=file&file=visitorWantsToChat&Pushed=true&site=20202020&channel

PHP Code:

else if ($cmd=="file" && $file=="visitorWantsToChat" && $Pushed=="true")

{

//do this



}

else if ($cmd=="file" && $file=="visitorWantsToChat")

No, only one of your if/else if/else statements will be executed if it's in the same group. There's no need to a break. It's just a question of logical order. Run the script in your mind and think how it will be executed. Think about which conditions are true and false at which point.

I'd use a switch statement:

PHP Code:

switch ($cmd)

{

  case 'dive':

    break;

  case 'file':

    switch ($visitor)

    {

       case 'wantstoChat':

         if ($pushed)

           // pushed code

         else

           // non-pushed code

    }

    break;

}
