Switch-Case Problem

Anon

I have problems with switch case...
When I use ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" in my code for browse window, switch case doesn't work,
it doesn't recognize case variable as a string. If I give numbers as case names everything works well.

ex.
switch($todo):
{
case 'upload':
... function ...
break;
case 'download':
... function ...
break;
default:
etc.
}
So this isn't working, but if cases had number values and were named 0,1,2 everything was working.
Why???

Hi. First of all, check the case of $todo value. Maybe if you do something like 'switch(StrLwr($todo))'. But I'm not really sure this will work.

did you try without the quotes?

i hope it helps.

try using double quotes ... just a suggestion, no guarantee 😉

case "value":
(...)

Thank You, for helping...
BUT any of these things didn't work so Problem is still in the air!
So I'm doing "ftp-style" UserInterface and now I can't get Switch case work out.

I tried my code so that I was moving strings and everything did work fine but when I changed code so that I was moving files (for that I had to use HTML - enctype='multipart/form-data')everything is messed up. Switch case ain't working, it goes alwaus throught default:.

I have solved the problem!
After serious printing/testing I solved the problem.
After enctype variable got value like this ' value ' (WHY???),
so trim() was answer for my problems!
