Failing var-evaluation after POST ?

[Anon]

Hi Folks,

I have a little Problem with evaluating vars from one page to the other using the Form/Post method. You have to excuse my little Experience with PHP 😉

On the Follow_Search-Form, I'm getting informations for
SearchForOne, SearchForTwo, SearchForThree in a
form/Selecttion list. All Vars are passed to the next form as shows an echoing back to the Web-interface.
However, i can't evaluate the 2nd part.

Here's the Code that evaluates some of it...

Let's define what we're looking for - Search_Arg 1

if ( "$SearchForOne" ) {

Find out what Table we need to query.

if (preg_match ("/cust_query/", $TableColOne)) {
$tableOne = "cust_query";
} elseif (preg_match ("/followup/", $TableColOne)) {
$tableOne = "followup";
}; # cust_query or followup ...

generate the SQL-Search-String

$Search1 = "$tableOne.$TableColOne like \"$SearchForOne\"";
}; # If SearchFor exists.

As I have 3 Search-Args I need to process, you have a similar if-statement for SearchForTwo and SearchForThree.
However, once preg_match ("/cust_query/", $TableColOne) has been processed - all following preg_match instances will fail or be ignored (Don't know what applies).- even when from the logical point of view, all Data required for processing exists.

Here the gathered info from the search.php as
* <Search_Arg> in <Column_Name> (<Table_Name>)

• COMPUTER in cust_query_companyname (cust_query)
• Active in follow_install ()
• mertinj in follow_contact ()

Anyone got a clue what I'm doing wrong?

You're doing ELSEIF
what you should be doing is
if something {
... do something
}
if another_something {
... do another thing
}

And please, o please, don't comment EVERY line in your code... It's hard to read it...

simple
// CHECK FOR SOMETHING
if blabla {
... do something
}

That oughta do it 🙂

Hope it helps, Arni

Tried it already without elseif - Doesn't care about that.
The Fact is, as soon as I have one (preg_match ("/followup/", $TableColOne)) statement, all other statements of this knd won't get processed. That's my problem. Don't know how to fix or circumvent this 🙁
