Subject: [PHP] simplify if/then statement
Hi,
I've got the following statement for a state options menu.
How can this be expressed in a simple manner for all 52 states?
//choose state
if ($state == AL) {
// include class
include(CalcAL.class.inc);
}
else if ($state == AR) {
// include class
include(CalcAR.class.inc);
}
else if ($state == AZ) {
// include class
include(CalcAZ.class.inc);
}
else{
echo Please select a State.br\n;
}
Thank You Very Much,
Jim Long

Take a look at the switch construct.

switch(strtolower($state))
{
case 'al':
include 'CalcALclass.inc';
break;
case 'ar':
include 'CalcALclass.inc';
break;
}
Or, really, just:
include Calc{$state}class.inc;
miguel
//choose state
if ($state == AL) {
// include class
include(CalcAL.class.inc);
}
else if ($state == AR) {
// include class
include(CalcAR.class.inc);
}
else if ($state == AZ) {
// include class
include(CalcAZ.class.inc);
}
else{
echo Please select a State.br\n;

RE: [PHP] simplify if/then statement
I'd do something similar to this, along with
putting all states in an array to make sure
$state is actually a state (in_array). And
maybe you want to add guam :)
a) be sure $state is set, else load default
b) be sure $state is not bogus, else yell at them
c) be sure the $state file exists, if so, include
it else houston we have a problem

Re: [PHP] simplify if/then statement
Hi,
Make an array $arr of all the states and loop
$state = AR;
$arr = array();
array_push($arr, AL, AR, AZ);
foreach ($arr as $key = $value)
{
if ($state == $value){
include(Calc$value.class.inc);
}
}
Cheers,
Pekka
