If Then Help

[Anon]

Hi all,

Can someone point me in the right direction or give me a snippit regarding if/thens?

This is what I am trying to accoumplish:

A person is on the Web site. They see two jump or list menus that ask for:

1. A quantity desired
2. A Package that they desire

With these two variables, I need a way in which it calls up a link dependant upon which package and how much of each package they desire.

Make sense? Is PHP the solution, or should I perhaps look for a java script?

Thanks,

Matt

if($packet=="A" && $quantity=="1"){
echo'<a href="location1">name</a>';
} elseif($packet=="A" && $quantity=="2"){
echo'<a href="location2">name2</a>';
}

Something like that?

In order to determine the best way to do this, we would need to know:

1) How many possible packages there are. Do they come from a db?

2) Why does it matter how many they want?

3) Is there some pattern to "link" (page/url?) they are to get sent to?

In other words, what are you really trying to accomplish?

Hello,

There would be 5 packages, not from a DB.
The quantity matters because say the bought package A for 1 month, it would cost 2.00.

however, if they bought package A for 3, 6 or 12 months, it would be say 1.75, 1.50 and 1.25 respectively.

As far as the third question, I would have them link to a a specified page either with anchors to point them to the right place, or a page for each product I was offering.

Make sense?

Thanks,

Matt

Use a combination of <b>if</b> and <b>switch</b> statements:

<font color=blue>
if ($product == '1011') {
&nbsp; switch ($qty) {
&nbsp;&nbsp; case 1:
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; header("Location: page1.php;
&nbsp;&nbsp; break;
&nbsp;&nbsp; case 2:
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; header("Location: page2.php;
&nbsp;&nbsp; break;
&nbsp;&nbsp; case 3:
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; header("Location: page3.php;
&nbsp;&nbsp; break;
&nbsp; }
}

if ($product == '1012') {
&nbsp; switch ($Qty) {
&nbsp;&nbsp; case 1:
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; header("Location: page4.php;
&nbsp;&nbsp; break;
&nbsp;&nbsp; case 2:
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; header("Location: page5.php;
&nbsp;&nbsp; break;
&nbsp;&nbsp; case 3:
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; header("Location: page6.php;
&nbsp;&nbsp; break;
&nbsp; }
}

</font>

Of course, be sure to put the closing quote and bracket on each of the <b>header()</b> calls... doh!
