if problem, can any one see the problem with this

[Bbsmiffy]

Working code that needs to change:

<?

$row = 0;
if (is_numeric($category) || $search) {
// if category is defined, show all records in that category
if ($search) {
$lots = $data->searchAuctionDetails($id, $search);
} else {
$lots = $data->getAuctionDetails($id, $category);
}
?>

Changes required in plain english:

category can be either a number 35 etc. or 'ALL'

if category is a number execute  	
	$lots = $data->searchAuctionLotDetails($id, $category, $search);

if category is 'ALL' execute  	
	$lots = $data->searchAuctionDetails($id, $search);

other wise execute $lots = $data->getAuctionDetails($id, $category);

My new coding (not working just shows blank screen):

<?

$row = 0;

if (is_numeric($category) || $search) {
// if category is defined, show all records in that category
if ($search) {
if (is_alphabetic($category)) {
$lots = $data->searchAuctionDetails($id, $search);
else {
$lots = $data->searchAuctionDetails($id, $category, $search);
}}
} else {
$lots = $data->getAuctionDetails($id, $category);
}
}
?>

Any advice would be appreciated

You have your is_alphabetic clause nested inside of your is_numeric clause, basically saying if is_number && is_aplphabetic. Under normal cirsumstances that is impossible, here is a rewrite that may to the trick for you.

<?
$row = 0;

if (is_numeric($category) || $search) {
    // if category is defined, show all records in category
    $lots = $data->searchAuctionDetails($id, $category, $search);
} elseif (is_alphabetic($category)) {
    $lots = $data->searchAuctionDetails($id, $search);
} else {
    $lots = $data->getAuctionDetails($id, $category);
}
?>
