If this is 0 then do this...

[LiLaaron]

Hi,

What i am trying to do:

On another page, there is a select box, with 3 different kinds of text format, All Upper Text, Lower Text and Exact. Now i would like when a user in the cateogie page wants to add a new one, no matter how there type there text it would change to the text format they choose.

if (($config["catcase"]["value"]) != "1") {

	function allupper($str)
	{
		$nstr = '';
		for($i=0;$i<strlen($str);$i++)
		 {
	    $char = substr($str,$i,1);
 		if($char == strtolower($char))
 	    {
        $char = strtoupper($char);
        }
   		$nstr .= $char;
	    }
	    return $nstr;
	}	

	echo allupper("$allupper");
	$allupper = $cat['name'];

	} elseif (($config["catcase"]["value"]) != "2") {

	function alllower($str)
	{
		$nstr = '';
		for($i=0;$i<strlen($str);$i++)
		 {
	    $char = substr($str,$i,1);
 		if($char == strtoupper($char))
 	    {
        $char = strtolower($char);
        }
   		$nstr .= $char;
	    }
	    return $nstr;
	}

	echo alllower("$alllower");
	$alllower = $cat['name'];

	} else (($config["catcase"]["value"]) != "0");

catcase value should be either 0 (exact), 1 (ALL UPPER) or 2 (all lower)

if the value is 1, the it should do the function allupper, when complete the results would go back to $cat['name']

Hopefully someone can help me with this,
Thanks
Aaron

I'm very confused... can't you just use a single strtoupper () function?

function new_string ($str, $state) {
	switch ($state) {
		case '0':
			$new_str = $str;
			break;
		case '1':
			$new_str = strtoupper ($str);
			break;
		case '2':
			$new_str = strtolower ($str);
			break;
		default:
			// they're messing with your mind!
			$new_str = false;
	}

return $new_str;
}

$str = 'Their String';

new_string ($str, $config['catcase']['value']);

Hi,

		function new_string ($str, $state) {
			switch ($state) {
			case '0':
			$new_str = $str;
			break;
			case '1':
			$new_str = strtoupper ($str);
			break;
			case '2':
			$new_str = strtolower ($str);
			break;
			default:
			// they're messing with your mind!
			$new_str = false;
	}

return $new_str;
}

$str = '$cat["name"]';

new_string ($str, $config['catcase']['value']);

I get an error with this

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare new_string() (previously declared in /home/xpixalc/public_html/rm/makepages.php:36) in /home/xpixalc/public_html/rm/makepages.php on line 36

Thanks

Corrected code:

function new_string ($str, $state) {
            switch ($state) {
            case '0':
            $new_str = $str;
            break;
            case '1':
            $new_str = strtoupper ($str);
            break;
            case '2':
            $new_str = strtolower ($str);
            break;
            default:
            // they're messing with your mind!
            $new_str = false;
    }

return $new_str;
}

$str = '$cat["name"]';

$new_str=new_string ($str, $config['catcase']['value']);//because the function returns a value, you need to assign that value to a variable

[LiLaaron]

Tried that, getting same error...

Based on the error, I would say it means that that function already exists. Try replacing every occurance of "new_string" with "make_new_string" and see if that works...

[LiLaaron]

No Change...

		function make_new_string ($str, $state) { //ERROR IS POINTING TO HERE
            switch ($state) { 
            case '0': 
            $new_str = $str; 
            break; 
            case '1': 
            $new_str = strtoupper ($str); 
            break; 
            case '2': 
            $new_str = strtolower ($str); 
            break; 
            default: 
            // they're messing with your mind! 
            $new_str = false; 
    } 

return $new_str; 
} 

$str = '$cat["name"]'; 

$new_str = make_new_string ($str, $config['catcase']['value']);

Thanks

I copy and pasted the code into a blank document and got no error, so the error has to be somewhere else. Even PHP gets confused sometimes. 🙂

I would check the few lines preceeding where you declare that function for any error. If you can't find one, post your code here and we'll take a looksee.

Hi, i have done away from the function instead i done it like this, but i am now getting another problem, its like this really doesnt want to work!!

This is the whole function

function manage($current)
  {
    global $db, $config, $HTTP_POST_VARS, $HTTP_GET_VARS;
    if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['newcat'])
    {

    $db->query("SELECT catcase FROM ".TBL_CONFIG." WHERE value='$case'");

    if ($case == "0") { 
    $newcat = $HTTP_POST_VARS['newcat']; 
	} else if ($case == "1") { 
	$oldcat = $HTTP_POST_VARS['newcat'];
	$newcat = strtoupper($oldcat);
	} else if ($case == "2") { 
	$oldcat = $HTTP_POST_VARS['newcat'];
	$newcat = strtolower($oldcat);
	} 
	$db->query("INSERT INTO ".TBL_CATEGORIES." SET name='".mysql_escape_string($newcat)."', parent=$current, rank=$rank"); 

  fixcounters();
  recreate();

  }

  function addsister($id){
    global $db, $config, $HTTP_POST_VARS, $HTTP_GET_VARS;

if ( $HTTP_POST_VARS['goback'] ){

elseif ( $HTTP_POST_VARS['getinfo'] || $HTTP_POST_VARS['addsister'] ){
    $recipman_url = $HTTP_POST_VARS['url'];

    $uinfo = @parse_url($recipman_url);



    if ( !$uinfo['scheme'] ) $recipman_url = "http://".$recipman_url;

    $sep ="";
    if ( substr($recipman_url, -1) != "/" ) $sep = "/";

    $data['method'] = "GET";
    $req = new HTTP_Request(gethostbyname($recipman_url.$sep."user.php?returninfo=1"), $data);

              }
              else{

    }
}

elseif ( $id ){

}

addsister_form($id, $pv['title'], $pv['url'], $pv['description'], $pv['reciprocal'], $errors);
  }

The part the needs to work is:

if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['newcat'])
    {

    $rank=$db->get_var("SELECT max(rank) FROM ".TBL_CATEGORIES." WHERE parent=$current")+1;

    $db->query("SELECT catcase FROM ".TBL_CONFIG." WHERE value='$case'");

    if ($case == "0") { 
    $newcat = $HTTP_POST_VARS['newcat']; 
	} else if ($case == "1") { 
	$oldcat = $HTTP_POST_VARS['newcat'];
	$newcat = strtoupper($oldcat);
	} else if ($case == "2") { 
	$oldcat = $HTTP_POST_VARS['newcat'];
	$newcat = strtolower($oldcat);
	} 
	$db->query("INSERT INTO ".TBL_CATEGORIES." SET name='".mysql_escape_string($newcat)."', parent=$current, rank=$rank"); 

Ok it used to give the new cat name but not correcting the case, but now it doesnt it just comes up as blank.

I have added a image, so you can see the mysql table... make sure i am selecting the correct areas on the database.
