Newbie Problem using if statement with &&

John

Hello all.

I am a PHP newbie and am having an issue using the && in an if
statement. here is the code:

if ($_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird "] == "1" && date("Y-m-d") <
$rowWork["wEarlyBird "]) {
die("<h1>The earlybird special has ended.</h1>");
}

Ok when the code runs it and both conditions are true nothing happens.

Testing:

$_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird "] is a valid form request and returns a
string of 1 or 0 depending on what im sending.

$rowWork["wEarlyBird "] Has a valid date in it and should validate as
true

If i put these if statements on the page they both work fine.

if ($_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird "] == "1") {
echo " TRUE ";
} else {
echo " False ";
}

if (date("Y-m-d") < $rowWork["wEarlyBird "]) {
echo " TRUE ";
} else {
echo " False ";
}

Thanks in advance for any help

When things like this fail, a good first step is to echo the values
involved.

For instance, right now, what do you have in $_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird "]
and $rowWork["wEarlyBird "]? Are you getting what you think you should
be getting from date("Y-m-d")? Also - is $_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird "]
equal to "1" or 1? They are two different values.

Also, $_REQUEST is generally not a good thing to use, If it's coming
from a POSTed forum, use $_POST. If it's in the URL, use $_GET.

Yeah I have tested the vslues and they are valid. As i said in the
original post:
Testing:

$_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird "] is a valid form request and returns a
string of 1 or 0 depending on what im sending.

$rowWork["wEarlyBird "] Has a valid date in it and should validate as
true

If i put these if statements on the page they both work fine.
(validate as true)

if ($_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird "] == "1") {
echo " TRUE ";
} else {
echo " False ";
}

if (date("Y-m-d") < $rowWork["wEarlyBird "]) {
echo " TRUE ";
} else {
echo " False ";
}

Well, obviously something is not as you describe, because '&&' has a
lower priority than either '==' or '<', which is why I asked you to
verify this. It's either the data or the statement you supplied doesn't
match what you have in your code. I'm just trying to eliminate
possibilities.

P.S. Please don't top post. Thanks.

Sorry bout top posting im new to this group thing as well as php.
Thanks for trying to help me. the code below is an exact paste from
the page. I have the first two if statements there to test the
variables. When the code runs I see TRUE TRUE and thats it the die
never runs. It is my understanding that I am trying to say in my
statement that if $_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird "] == "1" is true AND
date("Y-m-d") < $rowWork["wEarlyBird "] is true run the die. I dont
understand why the first two if statetments would each display true
but the third not run.

if ($_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird "] == "1") {
echo " TRUE ";
} else {
echo " False ";
}

if (date("Y-m-d") < $rowWork["wEarlyBird "]) {
echo " TRUE ";
} else {

}

If that's the actual code, with nothing in between that can alter either
of the variables, I'm thoroughly puzzled. 100% sure you're not misspelling
one of the variable names? And have you enabled display_errors and set
error_reporting to E_ALL | E_STRICT ?

}

First a hint. Only use double quotes, if you want to perform variable
substitution within a string. Otherwise, try to use single quotes.

Now, when I get a problem like this, I tend to echo out all the values
and all the intermediate results. So please replace your code with
this and then post the output here:

echo 'frmIsEarlyBird ='.$_REQUEST['frmIsEarlyBird].'= ';
echo 'date='.date('Y-m-d').'= ';
echo 'wEarlyBird='.$ rowWork['wEarlyBird'].'= ';
echo '($_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird "] == \'1\')='.
($_REQUEST['frmIsEarlyBird '] == '1').'= ';
echo '(date(\'Y-m-d\') < $rowWork[\'wEarlyBird\'])='.(date(\'Y-m-d\')
< $rowWork[\'wEarlyBird\']).'=';
echo '&&='.($_REQUES T['frmIsEarlyBird '] == '1' && date(\'Y-m-d\') <
$rowWork[\'wEarlyBird\']).'=';
if ($_REQUEST['frmIsEarlyBird '] == '1' && date('Y-m-d') <
$rowWork['wEarlyBird']) {
die('<h1>The earlybird special has ended.</h1>');

}

Are you 100% sure that this is a problem with the && operator and not a
problem with the fact that your < maybe should be a ? 'Cause that
LOOKS like it's testing that the current time is BEFORE the "wEarlyBird "
thing, not after it.

users using &, ", ', and other chars in input fields

by: Michael Hill | last post by:

I have a general question about how people generally tend to deal with users data that they enter. As an example users enter double quotes in a text field surrounding a specific piece of text they want to hi-lite and then it barfs during the oracle insert step because the string is not properly delimited. Another example is where the ampersand causes trouble when used on an xml page so provisions are made to insert it into the table...

Using &array with scanf

by: James Daughtry | last post by:

char array; scanf("%19s", &array); I know this is wrong because it's a type mismatch, where scanf expects a pointer to char and gets a pointer to an array of 20 char. I know that question 6.12 of the C FAQ says that it's wrong for that very reason. What I don't know is where the standard tells me conclusively that it's wrong. What I also don't know is somewhere that this type mismatch will break in practice.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
