I am very new to PHP hopefully someone can help me I am trying to use a wildcard for a simple "if else" code. I cant seem to figure out how to do this.
e.g.
if($cPath == '1')
{
echo "this table";
}
I am trying to get it so that cPath will display all categories with the number 1
(e.g.
1_1
1_2
1_3
etc)
I’m not sure how I would go about doing this or how to use a wildcard method any help would be great!
cPath is the category ID (eg say I have a page called books cPath would be index.php?cPath=1_16 I only want the categories with 1_XX to show so anything with 2_XX - X_XX shouldn’t show. I was thinking a wildcard method would work just not sure how I would go about doing it.
alright as to a wild card theres not really a way i can think of todo it like your trying
substr(cpath, 0, 2) would return 1_ so you could do an if statement to make sure that the left 2 characters of that string is 1_ but you will need to make a loop to have it check each one.
