Multiple case or switch commands in php?
- by kitenski
Good Afternoon,
I am trying to assign some variables to a listing which has a main category and a subcategory. This works fine for most of the variables, however in each sub category there are some fields which are other.
ie
Main Category 1 has sub category database, development and other
Main Category 2 has sub category email, internet and other
Main Category 3 has sub category graphics and other.
So my first case statement is as follows which works fine.
switch ($main_cat)
{
case "Main Category 1":
$main="79";
break;
case "Main Category 2":
$main="83";
break;
case "Main Category 3":
$main="87";
break;
}
However I am struggling as to how to handle other.
This stops the whole page loading with no error message
switch ($second_cat)
{
case "Database":
$second="145";
break;
case "Development":
$second="146";
break;
case "Other":
if ($main_cat) == 'Main Category 1' { $second="147";}
break;
}
This doesn't work at all, second is not changed.
switch ($second_cat)
{
case "Database":
$second="145";
break;
case "Development":
$second="146";
break;
case "Other":
switch ($main_cat)
{
case "Main Category 1":
$second="147";
break;
}
}
