Coding Help...

RefreshXXL

I did a couple of searchs but didn't find anything probably because I don't know what it is called.

With the code I have below I want it where I could just make one if since they all output the same code.
So many something like

if($ext == mpeg or mpg or avi) <-- I know that doesn't work but is there a way to do what i want

   if($ext == mpeg) {
        echo "<embed src=\"$dir/$file.$ext\" autostart=\"true\"></embed>";
        echo "<br>\n";
        echo "<a href=\"javascript:history.back()\">Back</a>\n";
        exit;
}
   elseif($ext == mpg) {
        echo "<embed src=\"$dir/$file.$ext\" autostart=\"true\"></embed>";
        echo "<br>\n";
        echo "<a href=\"javascript:history.back()\">Back</a>\n";
        exit;
}
   elseif($ext == avi) {
        echo "<embed src=\"$dir/$file.$ext\" autostart=\"true\"></embed>";
        echo "<br>\n";
        echo "<a href=\"javascript:history.back()\">Back</a>\n";
        exit;
}

You don't really need to check to see what the file type is since the output doesn't change for each... I would just check to see if the $ext exists, and go from there...


if(isset($ext)):

    echo "<embed src=\"$dir/$file.$ext\" autostart=\"true\"></embed>"; 
    echo "<br>\n"; 
    echo "<a href=\"java script:history.back()\">Back</a>\n"; 

Endif;

Anyhow, let me know if this works for you, and if not, let me know what the problem is/are, and we'll go from there...

Ok
You want to check if they are equal to mpeg etc if not then do nothing

if($ext == "mpeg" || $ext == "mpg" || $ext == "avi"){
echo "<embed src=\"$dir/$file.$ext\" autostart=\"true\"></embed>"; 
        echo "<br>\n"; 
        echo "<a href=\"java script:history.back()\">Back</a>\n"; 
        exit; 
}else{
echo"Wrong file type";
}

I didnt test it but it should work
Im pretty sure theres an easier if statement that can be made. Not sure on how to go about it though.

That would work but that is not all my code.
Now if you look at the code below it does change to swf and then images. Also once I get how to do this I will make the else an error and make the image type something like what I want to do.

Aslso someone told me to do is mpeg || mpg but this didnt work because any file extension for some reason be came a movie

if($ext == mpeg) {
echo "<embed src=\"$dir/$file.$ext\" autostart=\"true\"></embed>";
echo " \n";
echo "<a href=\"javascript:history.back()\">Back</a>\n";
exit;
}
if($ext == mpg) {
echo "<embed src=\"$dir/$file.$ext\" autostart=\"true\"></embed>";
echo " \n";
echo "<a href=\"javascript:history.back()\">Back</a>\n";
exit;
}
if($ext == avi) {
echo "<embed src=\"$dir/$file.$ext\" autostart=\"true\"></embed>";
echo " \n";
echo "<a href=\"javascript:history.back()\">Back</a>\n";
exit;
}
if($ext == asf) {
echo "<embed src=\"$dir/$file.$ext\" autostart=\"true\"></embed>";
echo " \n";
echo "<a href=\"javascript:history.back()\">Back</a>\n";
exit;
}
if($ext == asx) {
echo "<embed src=\"$dir/$file.$ext\" autostart=\"true\"></embed>";
echo " \n";
echo "<a href=\"javascript:history.back()\">Back</a>\n";
exit;
}
if($ext == wmv) {
echo "<embed src=\"$dir/$file.$ext\" autostart=\"true\"></embed>";
echo " \n";
echo "<a href=\"javascript:history.back()\">Back</a>\n";
exit;
}
if($ext == swf) {
echo "<object classid=\"clsid😃27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,2,0\">

</object>";
echo " \n";
echo "<a href=\"javascript:history.back()\">Back</a>\n";
exit;
}
else {
echo "<img src=\"$dir/$file.$ext\" alt=\"$pic\">\n";
echo " \n";
echo "<a href=\"javascript:history.back()\">Back</a>\n";
exit;
}

hmm sry i didnt see the 3rd post i will test that out

planetsim

Ok i can get it changed

if($ext == ("mpeg" || "mpg" || "avi" || "asf" || "asx" || "wmx")){
  echo "<embed src=\"$dir/$file.$ext\" autostart=\"true\"></embed>";  

  echo "<br>\n";  

  echo "<a href=\"java script:history.back()\">Back</a>\n";  

  exit;  

}else{
  if($ext == "swf"){
    echo "<object classid=\"clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,2,0\"> 
  <param name=\"movie\" value=\"$dir/$file.$ext\"> 
  <param name=\"quality\" value=\"best\"> 
  <param name=\"play\" value=\"true\"> 
<embed src=\"$dir/$file.$ext\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash\" quality=\"best\" play=\"true\"> 
</object>"; 
echo "<br>\n"; 
echo "<a href=\"javascript:history.back()\">Back</a>\n"; 
exit; 

  }else{
    echo "<img src=\"$dir/$file.$ext\" alt=\"$pic\">\n"; 
    echo "<br>\n"; 
    echo "<a href=\"javascript:history.back()\">Back</a>\n"; 
    exit; 
  }
}

Not tested but it should work with maybe some minor adjustments.
