help with this if statement

[cdennste]

@$check = $HTTP_POST_VARS['resolved'];
if ( ! isset($check) || $check == "" ){
$body_beg . = "Issue Has Been Resolved";

keep getting errors on the if part of the statement.

Basically if the check box on the page before is checked i want to add text into this email i will be sending out.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks
Craig

try:

if ( ! isset($check) || $check == "" ) { 
  $body_beg . = "Issue Has Been Resolved";
} // you missed this closing brace out !!!

[cdennste]

sorry i do have that in there, just forgot to cut and paste it with the rest of it....

That code looks right.

[_SuperString]

try breaking it down slighly:

if ( ! isset($check) ) {
  $body_beg . = "Issue Has Been Resolved";
} elseif ($check == "") {
  $body_beg . = "Issue Has Been Resolved";
}

[MarkB423]

@$check = $HTTP_POST_VARS['resolved'];

should be

$check = @$HTTP_POST_VARS["resolved"];

[cdennste]

I just tried this:

@$check = $HTTP_POST_VARS['resolved'];
if ( ! isset($check) ) {
$body_beg . = "Issue Has Been Resolved";
}
elseif ($check == "") {
$body_beg . = "Issue Has Been Resolved";
}

got the following errors:

parse error, expecting T_STRING' orT_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING'

I keep getting errors on the if part of the statement.

Is $HTTP_POST_VARS['resolved'] ever going to be 0? If not, the if statement can become

if(!empty($HTTP_POST_VARS['resolved'])
{  ...
}

[cdennste]

any other ideas still not working..

thanks craig

[tomhath]

Did you take MarkB423's suggestion? The @ sign is wrong where it is. The parser will often point to the line after the error.

[cdennste]

yeah i tried it with out the @ and with.

tried several different ways...

thanks agian the frustrated Newbie....

[diego25]

Try this:
if ( ! isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['resolved']) || $HTTP_POST_VARS['resolved'] == "" ){
$body_beg . = "Issue Has Been Resolved";

Maybe you missed it... I did not remove the "@", I simply moved it in front of $HTTP_POST_VARS...

Without the "@" it definitely will give you an error if the box isn't checked... just like when it is in the wrong spot...

$check = @$HTTP_POST_VARS["resolved"];

[cdennste]

Yeah i did try it like that..

//issue resolved feild
$check = @$HTTP_POST_VARS["resolved"];
if ( ! isset($check) || $check == "" ){
$body_beg . = "Issue Has Been Resolved";
}

Got the same error:

parse error, expecting T_STRING' orT_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING'

[the_Igel]

$body_beg . = "Issue Has Been Resolved";

the space between "." and "=" is a ...ahem... bugger.

[cdennste]

yeah i noticed that this morning and changed it but still getting errors.

Does any one have any suggestion on alternitive ways to do this.

I need to have some sort of checkbox, that when check will add some text to an mail note in a certain spot before sending..

I can get spell checking working on this but not a simple check box....

thanks for all the advice everyone...

[the_Igel]

As the manual says, the "||" precedes the "==", so you should write
if ( !isset($check) || ($check == "") )

but empty() should work as well, anyway.
Are you really sure that the error is in these lines?

[diego25]

As the manual says, the "||" precedes the "=="

What? Where?

According to
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.php

== has a higher precedence over ||.

Diego

[diego25]

cdennste, have you tried my code?

Diego

[cdennste]

yes Diego25 I did try your code...

The_Igel i am sure its an error with the new lines of code, because everything else was working exactly the way i wanted it to until put the new code in. Plus if i comment it out it works fine...

See i would attach the full code so you guys can see it all but just wont fit on here.... Ahhh what the hell here goes.....

This is the second page after the form....
