Question On Conditional Statements
I'm a perl programmer and am trying to learn PHP.
So far I have figured out most of the differences, but have not been able to
find out how to do the following:
When running through a loop, how can you test two separate conditions
against the same $element of an array. For example, this is how I thought it
would be done (similar to Perl), but it did not work:
if (eregi("apple", $line) and (eregi("orange", $line) {
do whatever;
}
Basically testing each line of an array to see if both the words "apple" and
"orange" are present.
Also, is there any equivalent to the following from Perl while running
through a loop:
next if (whatever conditions);
last if (whatever conditions);

Conditional Statements And Loops
Not long ago I was asked to give PHP lections to some private IT school. I'm on second lection now, and will be teaching my :) students conditional statements (if..else and switch) and loops (while and for). That was my story, now the question. Can you give me an advise on some geeky use of those statements to stir up some enthusiasm in students.

Avoiding Endless Conditional Statements
Here is my problem. I want to make a webapp that will basically take the work out of finding what tool works for what situation. There are 5 factors that go into tool selection. 1)Material Group, 2)Insert Radius, 3)Insert Type and Size, and 2 others that I can't remember off-hand. There are probably about 1000 different scenarios that I have to code for..(there are several blank table cells and it's not setup as you might imagine, there is a lot of overlapping), and I desperately want to avoid making a gigantic conditional statement. I'm afraid that I really have to provide a picture of what I'm doing here, so I will do that. Here is the link. You only see 3 of the 5 factors on this page, and the other 2 have to do with whether this table or one of many other tables (not pictured) will be used. So, now that I've confused everyone. That's my table. What's a good way to go about programming that sucker in so that people don't have to do all the "work" involved to figure out what tools they need. They should just be able to choose selections from 5 dropdown boxes and get one tool back. A tool is something like "10.655.600".

Conditional Loop
I have one table, "players" that has player info including start season (year). I then have a table for each season with player stats, i.e. games played etc called stats200X where X is the year obviously. I have no problem with extracting data from the current year, but what I would like to do is get data from previous years too. I was thinking about doing something like: (year) - (startyear), which for example could be 3. I don't know where to begin, but I want to be able to loop though previous years so that, if tables exist of course, I could do select * from stats{Y -1} display select * from stats{Y -2} etc Would I need to hard code this or is there a way of doing this though a conditional loop?

PHP Conditional Include
I just set up a perl script that outputs a single html file. Works great, but I need to be able to customize that one file for different sections of the site. Specifically I need different navigation and heading on the page. I'm not a programmer, but this sounds like I want a conditional include to show what I want when I want, right? If so, can anyone give me any idea how to get started with something like this? I figured I'd try with PHP because it sounds easier than fooling with perl. Also, doesn't a conditional statement generally work from a variable or something else in the page that changes? If so, what do I do when the page stays the same and doesn't include variables?

More Than 1 Conditional In A Function
This is a great function I use to echo timestamps as "how long ago" timeframe. This function rounds up the time to the smallest hour, so that 2:55 echos "2 hours ago". The only conditional in this function is Code: if($difference != 1) $periods[$j].= "s"; and what it does is to add an "s" if the second, minute, hour... is not 1 (pluralization). I need now to add another conditional so that for anytime greater than 5 hours and less than 24 hours it will echo just the word "Today". I tried many possibilities without much success. Code:

Sessions + Conditional Include
I am having a little problem in trying to figure out why my session state is not expiring after I close the browser window. Having been used to the ASP way of doing things I am trying to get my head around this slightly different method of handling sessions in PHP.... What happens is that I log on to the site, do various things and then close it when I am finished. I return the next day to find that the 'logged in' menu is displayed first which shouldnt happen until you have logged in again. I assumed that the session was been stored as a cookie but wasnt been released after the session terminates by default, but found I was wrong when I deleted all my internet files and went back to the site.

Writing Conditional Statement
I'm trying write a conditional statement that updates the database in 1 of 2 ways depending on the values given. I'm only 2 weeks into learning PHP/MySQL so I realize the way I've written it out is probably sloppy and more inefficient than what it could be. I've just been winging it from examples and trial and error and have gotten everything working except for this. I'm not sure if I have my logic or syntax wrong. Application-specific details: This is a simple invoicing application. Every invoice is in either 1 of 3 states: - pending (default state when a new invoice is entered) - paid (state when invoice is paid in full) - partial (state when only partial payments have been made on the invoice) What I'm trying to do is this: 1. If a partial payment is made on an invoice, the status is set to 'partial' (this is working) 2. If the payment posted was the full amount of the invoice or the final amount needed to pay it in full, the status is set to 'paid' (this is not working) My processing logic works like this: 1. There is a total invoice amount stored in the invoice table represented by $total variable (working) 2. When payments have been made to that invoice (stored in the payments table), I show the remaining balance on their invoice by calculating the sum of those payments and subtracting them from the total (this is represented by the $diff variable and is working) 3. The part not working: When the remaining balance ($diff) minus the payment amount posted ($_POST['amount']) is equal to 0, the status is set to paid. PHP Code:

Mutlipart And/or Conditional Form
I have a form that needs to have conditional statements, and I am not sure how to "fix" this. The existing form is split in two parts - the form, and the processor. I would think that I will need to combine them, but.. Anyways - what I need is somewhat simple - if a certain option (from a <select>) is chosen, force another field to be completed. I also have 2 other fields that if the radio button is set to YES, require new fields. Ideally, the optional fields would only be shown to the user IF they are required.

Help With Posting Conditional If Statement
I've tried scaling down a script to the bare minimum and it still is not working correctly. What I think should happen is that when the field app_fname is blank, that $hold_chk will get set to 1 and the 1st if statement will be executed. What actually happens is that when I hit submit, the form stays where it is, for example if the form where the submit button is located is on the form other.php, then when I hit submit this is where it stays. If I then hit the submit button a 2nd time, it post to the some.php form. I've tried this script without the conditional if(isset() and it works. I need to have the isset() otherwise the form displays all empty fields as soon as it loads, before the submit button is hit. <?php $holdchk = 0; if (isset($_POST['B1'])) { echo "<br><br><br>"; if (empty($_POST['app_fname'])) { $holdchk = 1; } if ($holdchk == 1 ){ echo "<form method="POST" action="some.php">"; } if ($holdchk == 0 ){ echo "<form method="POST" action="other.php">"; } } ?> <html> <head> </head> <form method="POST" action=""> When hit the submit button</font></b<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"></p> </form> </body> </html>

Conditional Email Text To Hyperlink
I am trying to write a content management section for a web site. I have managed so far to use htmlarea to give users a basic, but user friendly interface by which to edit the page content. The user can add emails by symply typing john@example.com - IE automatically converts this to a hyperlink. The trouble is sometimes the users use plain text. I have been using the following line to convert plain text to a hyperlink: $pagetext=ereg_replace('[A-Za-z0-9_]([-._]?[A-Za-z0-9])*@[A-Za-z0-9]([-.]?[A-Za-z0-9])*.[A-Za-z]+', '<a href="mailto: ?subject=Email%20from%20web%20site"> </a> ', $pagetext); This works well - BUT it completely screws up any existing hyperlinks. Is there a way to convert the plain text email address in to a hyperlink only if it is NOT part of a hyperlink. Basically I need some way of checking * If it's plain text > convert to a hyperlink * If it's already an email hyperlink leave it alone. I have tried looking up and testing everything I can think of - but am finally asking around before I go mad.
