I think Exero was just trying to show us how to write a sophisticated if statements, which in my opinion could be a great topic you can write about MindTrix... By the way great tutorial, although I found ONE mistake;

You wrote;

Code:

Example



"vBulletin"."Rules"





Would show up as





"vBulletin Rules"

Should'nt it be;

Code:

"vBulletin"."Rules"





Would show up as





"vBulletinRules"

Also how would this show on a browser;

Code:

Here is an example





$userage = 50;

print "The users age in days is ".($userage*365)." days";





Notice the ( . ) symbol connecting everything together.

Gread job, keep it up

Thank you for the comments, i am half way doing my next tutorial as it is.

You are correct on what you said, however i am sure i put a space before the " so it looked like

"vbulletin "."rules"

Maybe it got auto corrected, however i will change the first post now as i did not notice my error. Thanks!

PHP Code:


		
			
$userage = 50;
print "The users age in days is ".($userage*365)." days";

Would show as

The users age in days is 18250 days

Exero - this is a lot clearer:

PHP Code:


		
			
if($_REQUEST['action'] == 'blah')

{

dothis();

}

else if($_REQUEST['action'] == 'moo')

{

dothat();

}

else

{

donothing();

}

I am looking for a good book on PHP programming.
I am a non-programmer, so I need something I can flip through as I need to to "adjust", fix, or just understand some vBulletin hacks and other PHP files.

Anyone have a recommendation?

And Thanks MindTrix for the tutorial, every littel bit helps.

I personally use a two books now.
One called SAMS Teach yourself - PHP, MYSQL and Apache.

And then

SAMS Teach yourself PHP

They aint cheap though, Around $30 or £20

Worth every penny though :) ^^

True they are definetly worth it. The book with all 3 in it, i am borrowing from the library and even comes with a cd complete with all 3, and a step by step guide to installing them onto your pc for a local server.

The other one just delves deeper into PHP, its hard too take in sometimes but the more you read it, the more you understand it.

At the moment i am onto Arrays :)
