help with eval

[Boofo]

Can anyone please tell me how to add an eval statement to this so I can put the information into a template? I know it's simple, I just can't see it.

if (($bday[2]>=21 and $bday[1]==3) or ($bday[2]<=19 and $bday[1]==4)) {
  $zodiacsign="Aries";
} else if (($bday[2]>=20 and $bday[1]==4) or ($bday[2]<=20 and $bday[1]==5)) {
  $zodiacsign="Taurus";
} else if (($bday[2]>=21 and $bday[1]==5) or ($bday[2]<=20 and $bday[1]==6)) {
  $zodiacsign="Gemini";
} else if (($bday[2]>=21 and $bday[1]==6) or ($bday[2]<=22 and $bday[1]==7)) {
  $zodiacsign="Cancer";
} else if (($bday[2]>=23 and $bday[1]==7) or ($bday[2]<=22 and $bday[1]==8)) {
  $zodiacsign="Leo";
} else if (($bday[2]>=23 and $bday[1]==8) or ($bday[2]<=22 and $bday[1]==9)) {
  $zodiacsign="Virgo";
} else if (($bday[2]>=23 and $bday[1]==9) or ($bday[2]<=22 and $bday[1]==10)) {
  $zodiacsign="Libra";
} else if (($bday[2]>=23 and $bday[1]==10) or ($bday[2]<=21 and $bday[1]==11)) {
  $zodiacsign="Scorpio";
} else if (($bday[2]>=22 and $bday[1]==11) or ($bday[2]<=21 and $bday[1]==12)) {
  $zodiacsign="Sagittarius";
} else if (($bday[2]>=22 and $bday[1]==12) or ($bday[2]<=19 and $bday[1]==1)) {
  $zodiacsign="Capricorn";
} else if (($bday[2]>=20 and $bday[1]==1) or ($bday[2]<=18 and $bday[1]==2)) {
  $zodiacsign="Aquarius";
} else if (($bday[2]>=19 and $bday[1]==2) or ($bday[2]<=20 and $bday[1]==3)) {
  $zodiacsign="Pisces";
} else {
  $zodiacsign="Can not define without a birth month and day.";
}
if($zodiacsign=="Can not define without a birth month and day.") {
  $zodiacimage="NA.gif";
} else {
  $zodiacimage=$zodiacsign.".gif";
}

and here's what I need to put in the template (called getinfo_zodiac):

<tr><td valign="top"><smallfont><B>Zodiac Sign: </B></smallfont></td><td valign="top"><smallfont>$zodiacsign
</smallfont></td></tr>

Boofo is this what you're looking for?

PHP Code:

eval("\$getinfo_zodiac = \"".gettemplate("getinfo_zodiac")."\";");

I had:

eval("\$zodiacsign = \"".gettemplate("getinfo_zodiac")."\";");

but how do I add it to the above code? I tried and all I get is a big 10 at the top of my profile.

Boofo so the second code is the template (getinfo_zodiac) that you're trying to integrate into the getinfo templates? regards...

Yes. I want it to pull up the template if there is a zodiac sign and not do anything if there isn't. Here is the revised code that I need to have the template for.

PHP Code:

if (($bday[2]>=21 and $bday[1]==3) or ($bday[2]<=19 and $bday[1]==4)) {
  $zodiacsign="Aries";
} else if (($bday[2]>=20 and $bday[1]==4) or ($bday[2]<=20 and $bday[1]==5)) {
  $zodiacsign="Taurus";
} else if (($bday[2]>=21 and $bday[1]==5) or ($bday[2]<=20 and $bday[1]==6)) {
  $zodiacsign="Gemini";
} else if (($bday[2]>=21 and $bday[1]==6) or ($bday[2]<=22 and $bday[1]==7)) {
  $zodiacsign="Cancer";
} else if (($bday[2]>=23 and $bday[1]==7) or ($bday[2]<=22 and $bday[1]==8)) {
  $zodiacsign="Leo";
} else if (($bday[2]>=23 and $bday[1]==8) or ($bday[2]<=22 and $bday[1]==9)) {
  $zodiacsign="Virgo";
} else if (($bday[2]>=23 and $bday[1]==9) or ($bday[2]<=22 and $bday[1]==10)) {
  $zodiacsign="Libra";
} else if (($bday[2]>=23 and $bday[1]==10) or ($bday[2]<=21 and $bday[1]==11)) {
  $zodiacsign="Scorpio";
} else if (($bday[2]>=22 and $bday[1]==11) or ($bday[2]<=21 and $bday[1]==12)) {
  $zodiacsign="Sagittarius";
} else if (($bday[2]>=22 and $bday[1]==12) or ($bday[2]<=19 and $bday[1]==1)) {
  $zodiacsign="Capricorn";
} else if (($bday[2]>=20 and $bday[1]==1) or ($bday[2]<=18 and $bday[1]==2)) {
  $zodiacsign="Aquarius";
} else if (($bday[2]>=19 and $bday[1]==2) or ($bday[2]<=20 and $bday[1]==3)) {
  $zodiacsign="Pisces";
} else {
  $zodiacsign="";
} 


[g-force2k2]

okay Boofo try this code then ::

PHP Code:

if($zodiacsign == "") { 
  $getinfo_zodiac = "";
} else {
  eval("\$getinfo_zodiac = \"".gettemplate("getinfo_zodiac")."\";");
} 


[Boofo]

Nope, that didn't do it. Any other ideas? I know it is just a syntax problem I am missing here. I need to eval the template at the end of the code.

[g-force2k2]

umm... just a question Boofo when you tested my code did you replace my variables with yours?

g-force2k2

[Boofo]

I tried your code first and then my variables and neither one worked. here is what I had before with it all together:

PHP Code:

if (($bday[2]>=21 and $bday[1]==3) or ($bday[2]<=19 and $bday[1]==4)) {
  $zodiacsign="Aries";
} else if (($bday[2]>=20 and $bday[1]==4) or ($bday[2]<=20 and $bday[1]==5)) {
  $zodiacsign="Taurus";
} else if (($bday[2]>=21 and $bday[1]==5) or ($bday[2]<=20 and $bday[1]==6)) {
  $zodiacsign="Gemini";
} else if (($bday[2]>=21 and $bday[1]==6) or ($bday[2]<=22 and $bday[1]==7)) {
  $zodiacsign="Cancer";
} else if (($bday[2]>=23 and $bday[1]==7) or ($bday[2]<=22 and $bday[1]==8)) {
  $zodiacsign="Leo";
} else if (($bday[2]>=23 and $bday[1]==8) or ($bday[2]<=22 and $bday[1]==9)) {
  $zodiacsign="Virgo";
} else if (($bday[2]>=23 and $bday[1]==9) or ($bday[2]<=22 and $bday[1]==10)) {
  $zodiacsign="Libra";
} else if (($bday[2]>=23 and $bday[1]==10) or ($bday[2]<=21 and $bday[1]==11)) {
  $zodiacsign="Scorpio";
} else if (($bday[2]>=22 and $bday[1]==11) or ($bday[2]<=21 and $bday[1]==12)) {
  $zodiacsign="Sagittarius";
} else if (($bday[2]>=22 and $bday[1]==12) or ($bday[2]<=19 and $bday[1]==1)) {
  $zodiacsign="Capricorn";
} else if (($bday[2]>=20 and $bday[1]==1) or ($bday[2]<=18 and $bday[1]==2)) {
  $zodiacsign="Aquarius";
} else if (($bday[2]>=19 and $bday[1]==2) or ($bday[2]<=20 and $bday[1]==3)) {
  $zodiacsign="Pisces";
  eval("\$zodiacsign = \"".gettemplate("getinfo_zodiac")."\";");
} else {
  $zodiacsign="";
} 


Like I said, I know I have the syntax wrong here for evaluating the template. I feel really stupid on this.

well from that code you're showing me you can't use $zodiacsign in the eval because then you changed its original value of what it was to now define the template... maybe that maeks sense? regards

change this:

PHP Code:

  eval("\$zodiacsign = \"".gettemplate("getinfo_zodiac")."\";"); 


to this:

PHP Code:

  eval("\$zodiacsigns = \"".gettemplate("getinfo_zodiac")."\";"); 


and make sure that you have the $zodiacsigns in the getinfo template where you want the getinfo_zodiac template to appear and also make sure that this code is in the member.php :P (but im sure you know that )

hopefully that helps somewhat?
