[RESOLVED] if-else or switch

[thewalluk]

Standard retrieve from database script. What I want to do is alter a value ($Page) depending on the results of row $Format.

Example

Format

CD
CD
Tape
Video

The value $Page would change to CD.php, Tape.php, etc; depending on the value returned.

I currently use the following if-else script but keep getting a Parse Error.

if ($Row[Format]='Video/PAL'){$Page=('VideoInfo');}
else {$Page=('Info');}

Should I use a switch conditional instead and if so how do I implement it?

[ir4z0r]

maybe this works?

if ($Row['Format']=='Video/PAL')
{
  $Page='VideoInfo';
}
else 
{
  $Page='Info';
}

use == to compare

[ahundiak]

switch($Row['Format'])
{
  case 'Video/PAL': 
    $Page = 'VideoInfo'; 
    break;
  case 'CD': 
    $page = 'CDInfo'; 
    break;
  default:
    $Page = 'Info';
}

Another Method make be to just make an assoc array

$data = array('Video/PAL' => 'VideoInfo', 'CD' => 'CDInfo');
$Page = $data[$Row['Format']];
