Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for.
I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path?
echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'>
<textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>".
if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match)
{
echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME;
}
else
{
}
."</textarea>
<script type='text/javascript'>
CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' );
</script>
</div>";
I am getting the following error message in the browser:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF
Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
No. You can however use the ternary operator.
ReplyDelete$a = 0;
echo 'Foo ' . ($a == 0 ? 'zero' : 'non-zero') . ' Bar';
Note the (), you need them.
Use the PHP ternary operator, you can read more about it here.
ReplyDeleteecho " <div id='tabs-".$match."'>
<textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>".
($COLUMN_NAME==$match ? $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME : "").
"</textarea>
<script type='text/javascript'>
CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' );
</script>
</div>";
This will work
ReplyDelete$val = "";
if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match)
{
$val = $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME;
}
echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'>
<textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". $val ."</textarea>
<script type='text/javascript'>
CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' );
</script>
</div>";
You can't nest an if inside an echo. You need either to split the echo into separate statements:
ReplyDeleteecho " <div id='tabs-".$match."'>
<textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>";
if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match)
{
echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME;
}
echo "</textarea>
<script type='text/javascript'>
CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' );
</script>
</div>";
or to use the ternary operator:
echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'>
<textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>".
(($COLUMN_NAME === $match) ? $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME : "")
."</textarea>
<script type='text/javascript'>
CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' );
</script>
</div>";
use ... . ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) ? $FIELD-WITH_COLUMN_NAME : '' . ...
ReplyDeletedismiss the if in front of it
