looping and test

nikko50

Hello there.
I have 2 variables I am looping through
$received and $ordered.
What I'm trying to do is create a new variable called $status and have status end up = "closed" if each time through the loop the value of $received is == $ordered.

Well, do $received and $ordered have the same amount of elements? Do the keys correspond, and will they always? Do you need them to correspond or are you just looking for matches between the arrays?

Hello again. Tracy here🙂
$ordered and $received are numeric values. I'm trying to test each time through the loop whether $ordered and $received are the same quantity. If they are I would like the variable $status to equal = "Closed". If at anytime time they are unequal $status should stay "Active" and the loop should end.

Hrmm....ok...

for($i=0;$i<$something;$i++)  {
   if($ordered != $received) {
      $status = 'Closed';
      break;
   }
}

awesome! I'll give it a try right now.

Tracy, where/how are you defining the 2 variables to begin with, and what exactly do you mean you are "looping" through the variables? Are they arrays? I mean if they are just numeric variables, then how are they changing within the loop? I mean, the comparison would always be equal or not equal...

Post some of what you have (code that is), so we can try to steer you more precisely. Vague questions usually result in vague help.

Hello Defender. Figured out that won't work. I'm looping through 2 arrays. Each time through the arrays I'll have an ordered sum and a received sum. So the array may llok like such..

$line[ordered] $line2[received]
1 1
10 5
10 10

I would like a new variable called $status to = "Closed" if each time through the arrays each one equals out. If at anytime they don't equal $status will equal "Active".

Here's my code so far....

///get order details
$getpo2= "SELECT * from podetails WHERE ponum = '$ponum'";
$getrow2= mysql_query($getpo2) or die(ErrorDB($realname));

while($line2= mysql_fetch_array($getrow2, MYSQL_ASSOC)){
$getreceive2="select poreceive.quantity, sum(poreceive.quantity) as 'receivedsum2'
from poreceive
where podetailid='$line2[id]'
group by poreceive.podetailid";
$getreceiveresult2=mysql_query($getreceive2, $link) ;
$getreceiveline2=mysql_fetch_array($getreceiveresult2, MYSQL_ASSOC);

        if ( $line2[quantity]!==$getreceiveline2[receivedsum2]){
            break; } 
              else 
                 if($line2[quantity]==$getreceiveline2[receivedsum2]){
                 $status="Closed";
                 echo $status;}
            }

Hi Guys! Never mind I figured it out.
Talk to you later
