[RESOLVED] Help with Ifelse block

[Iquil]

I'm trying to display a news item that has more than one parent so I have it set up with the id's of the parents (parentId - there are 7 possible parents and 5 parentId columsin the database) but when the script runs it only displays the news item for the first part of the ifelse block.

This is the code:

$catid = 3;

if($row['parentId'] == $catid) 
{
	echo $row['content'];
}
else if($row['parentId2'] == $catid) // It doesn't want to read from this part down
{
	echo $row['contnet'];
}
else if($row['parentId3'] == $catid)
{
	echo $row['contnet'];
}
else if($row['parentId4'] == $catid)
{
	echo $row['contnet'];
}
else if($row['parentId5'] == $catid)
{
	echo $row['contnet'];
}

Any Help greatly appreciated.

No matter what it will echo $row['content']...

Sorry by

when the script runs it only displays the news item for the first part of the ifelse block.

I ment it only displays it for that page when I go to another page that is parentId2-5 it doesn't display anything at all

say I have it set so that parentId = 1, parentId2 = 5, parentId3 = 4 and the rest all blank it will work with parentId but not the rest.

it might have something to do with the fact that you type 'content' in the first case and 'contnet' in the other cases.

If it's not that try to echo all $row['parentId'] and $catid to see if everything is correct. Also you might want to do something like "echo 1;", "echo 2;" and so on in the different choises to rule out anything that is in the if-elseif statements.
