[RESOLVED] coding help

[msnhockey]

the code im providing below used to work, until i was convinced to do a mod rewrite, I just went to use this part of the script and now it doesnt display what its supposed to.

before the mod rewrite all team, players,seasons, etc had a bunch of zeros then the id that it was was.

so a team id of 8 used to be 0008

	if(isset($_POST['submit']))
	{
		$ptid = $_POST['ptid'];
		$seas = $_POST['seas'];
		$award = $_POST['award'];
		$count = (int)$_POST['count'];

	mysql_query("TRUNCATE TABLE `awards`");

	for($i = 0; $i <= $count; $i++)
	{
		if($ptid[$i] != "" && $seas[$i] != "" && $award[$i] != "")
		{

			if(strlen($ptid[$i]) == 4)
			{
				mysql_query("INSERT INTO `awards` VALUES('1', '', '" . $ptid[$i] . "', '" . $seas[$i] . "', '" . $award[$i] . "')");
			}
			else
			{
				mysql_query("INSERT INTO `awards` VALUES('0', '" . $ptid[$i] . "', '', '" . $seas[$i] . "', '" . $award[$i] . "')");
			}
		}
	}
}

i figured this is the part that determines if it needs to save as a team or a player

if(strlen($ptid[$i]) == 4)

but since no teams are now 4 (0000) in length it saves teams as players and it doesnt show up right.

i have changed the 4 to a 1 and it saves most of the teams correctly, but i have teams with ids more than 1 integer which is giving me the problems now.

is there a way i can make i can add a 2 in there so it will save ids with 1 and 2 as teams

Unless I'm misunderstanding your problem:

if(strlen($ptid[$i]) =< 2

Will allow for either single or double digits.

tried your example and i get an internal server error..

I might need to recode as when we did the mod rewrite the guy also removed all the zeros from teamid, playerid, seasonid etc...

the old team id was 4 digits in length and the old playerid was 12 digits. they both now start at 1 and go up from there.

so im thinking with that code it might save a player under a team id.

will keep playing around

Just add the closing ) back to the line and you should get rid of.your error.

got it to work.. i add this in

$pos=strpos($ptid[$i],"p");

 if($pos===false)

and took this out

if(strlen($ptid[$i]) == 1 )
