How to make a correct if-statement to filter out values from a xml-file
- by Garreth 00
Edit 3:
As requested, I'm trying to simplify my question.
Here is a sample of some of my data from a xml file:
<entry>
<title>Entry 1</title>
<f:max_value_a>499 999</f:max_value_a>
<f:max_value_b>999 999</f:max_value_b>
<f:min_value_a>0</f:min_value_a>
<f:min_value_b>500 000</f:min_value_b>
<f:min_value_c>1 000 000</f:min_value_c>
<f:value_for_a>5,10</f:value_for_a>
<f:value_for_b>4,50</f:value_for_b>
<f:value_for_c>3,90</f:value_for_c>
</entry>
<entry>
<title>Entry 2</title>
<f:min_value_a>0</f:min_value_a>
<f:value_for_a>4,20</f:value_for_a>
</entry>
<entry>
<title>Entry 3</title>
<f:max_value_a>1 999 999</f:max_value_a>
<f:min_value_a>100 000</f:min_value_a>
<f:min_value_b>2 000 000</f:min_value_b>
<f:value_for_a>3,735</f:value_for_a>
<f:value_for_b>3,445</f:value_for_b>
</entry>
f:value_for_d is the highest value, and f:value_for_c is lower than d, and so on.
I have a dynamic targetvalue (lets just go with 2 000 000 in this example)
I want to get the value where max_value is greater than the targetvalue, but sometimes max_value is not defined and then set to "0". "0" in max_value should mean unlimited "roof". The min_value can not be greater than targetvalue, but sometimes min_value is not defined and then set to "0". "0" min_value should mean a unlimited "floor".
I have tried with this code
if ($value_for_d > 0 ){
if (($min_value_d <= $targetvalue) xor ($min_value_d == 0)){
if (($max_value_d >= $targetvalue) xor ($max_value_d == 0)){
$query_result = TRUE;
$value = $value_for_d;
}
}
}elseif ($value_for_c > 0 ){
if (($min_value_c <= $targetvalue) xor ($min_value_c == 0)){
if (($max_value_c >= $targetvalue) xor ($max_value_c == 0)){
$query_result = TRUE;
$value = $value_for_c;
}
}
}elseif ($value_for_b > 0 ){
if (($min_value_b <= $targetvalue) xor ($min_value_b == 0)){
if (($max_value_b >= $targetvalue) xor ($max_value_b == 0)){
$query_result = TRUE;
$value = $value_for_b;
}
}
}elseif ($value_for_a > 0 ){
if (($min_value_a <= $targetvalue) xor ($min_value_a == 0)){
if (($max_value_a >= $targetvalue) xor ($max_value_a == 0)){
$query_result = TRUE;
$value = $value_for_a;
}
}
}
If I run this code with a targetvalue of "2 000 000", I get this result:
Entry 1 - 3.9 (correct value is 3.9)
Entry 2 - 0 (correct value is 4.2)
Entry 3 - 3.445 (correct value is 3.445)
If I set the targetvalue to even lower, to 500 000, I get 0 on all my entries.
