php: "else if" problem

Please see my problem below in PHP code :

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<?php
echo $month, $day, $year, $month2, $day2, $year2; // these are ok-normal values from web form
if ( ! @checkdate($month,$day,$year) ) {
echo "this operate till here"; // include_once ("normaldays.php"); @ // wrongpickupdate.htm
} else if ( ! @checkdate($month2,$day2,$year2) ) {
include_once ("wrongdropoffdate.htm");
} else if ( $tsp < $tsnow ) { // "$tsp"=time stamp pickup date
include_once ("wrongpickupdate.htm"); // include_once ("normaldays.php"); // wrongpickupdate.htm
} else if ( $tsp >= $tsd ) { // "$tsd"=time stamp drop off date
include_once ("wrongpickupdate.htm");
} else if ( $days >= 60 ) { // "$days" var come from "$tsd" & "$tsp"
include_once ("manydays.htm");
} else if ( $days <= 2 ) {
include_once ("fewdays.htm");
} else {
include_once ("normaldays.php");
}

?>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

problem

1-executes first statement what ever vars are
2-if no "!" to first statement , executes second statement
3-if no "!" to first & second statement, executes first include_once() statement meaning :
} else if ( $tsp < $tsnow ) {
include_once ("wrongpickupdate.htm");
}
whatever values of $tsp & $tsnow are .

well WHERE THE PROBLEM IS ?

the precedence / sequence

has any relationship with:

1-calculations between variables & constants
2-built-in functions
3-the NOT decision: !
4-or any other ?

this because in my script executes the third "else if" conditional if no met the second or third BUT in case of any met of fourth or fifth "else if" conditional ?

wrong decisions from an "else if" in php can you check ?
=========================================================
My web server uses PHP 4.3.10 well the previous code I have posted may run on this ? "elseif" differs from "else if" ?

The Script(I make some modifications) start at(web form):
http://paphoscarhire.com/php/a1.php
go to(decision php script):
http://paphoscarhire.com/php/b1.php
Well you may see that problem is firstly the: else-if iteration[at http://paphoscarhire.com/php/b1.php ] make wrong decisions , can you check where is the mistake ?
Variable values appear on screen prior/after the "else if" .

OK; one thing I see - and I think yuo are asking about...

Yopu asking weather you can use "elseif" or "else if" to do statements/etc.

Well, only the following three are "valid" when it comes to "if"/"elseif"/"else"...

if for the firsdt statement...

elseif for any following statements...

else for the final/default choice/result.

So, an example would be :

Code:

if ( $pg == '1' ) {
echo 'Page One';
} elseif ( $pg == '2' ) {
echo 'Page Two';
} else {
echo 'No Page Selected';
}

Hope that helps some.

I think that will also fix your problem you are having.

And sorry to took so long to relaize what you were asking about.

Another thing I have notice; you seem to be wanting to echo/include a file...

You don't use a command/line like :

- echo "too_many_days.html"

If you are wanting just the contents of a page to diaplys; say if you have a web page that just said "To many days selected" (or what ever) then you would need to use this line instead :

- include 'too_many_days.html';

That would automaticaly display the contents of the file [what i maean is - it will display any text that is supposed to show -- it won't show the<html> tags or anything like that].

One thing to keep in mind however; if the page you wanna "include" is a PHP file that is supposed to use a certain "varible" [like $day] then you would need to do something like this line instead :

- include "too_many_days.php";

That should work fine; make sure of course that you use proper PHP coding.

Another thing...

You may notice I'm using single quotes [ ' ' ] in some parts and double quotes [ " " ] in others. There is a reason for this.

Firstly, if you are wanting to just "echo" some basic text; with no varibles; then all you ould have to do is something like echo 'hello world';.

But, if there is a vairble in it you would need to use double quotes.

In include() or include_once() commands I must use single'' or double "" quotes ?
What about parenthesis () ?

Well; there are several ways to do it.

For starters; if all you want to do is include the content of an HTML/HTM page -- and thats all -- you can use either of the following ways :

- include 'hello_text.html';
- include "hello_text.html";
- include ('hello_text.html');
- include ("hello_text.html");

That is just a matter of preference. Persoanly I think it's more clean looking using the parenthesis around what you are including. And, they say that you should use single quotes where possible cause they are slightly fatser to process then double quotes.

Butm you would need a real large amount of code to realy notice a difference however.

But, say if you are wanting to inculde a page that is based on a varible " $day ", and that varible needed to be within the "include" call. You would need to do one of the following :

- include "hello_$day.html";
- include ("hello_text.html");

Hope that helps some.
