need help here :)

[perro88]

I need some help:
1- how I make a "if" like this:
    if(current board= "programming"/*if posible by name, if not by board id*/)

2- I want to change the rating system of a tread on one or more specific boards.
for example in "example" and "example2" boards put 10 stars and make the stars showed this way:
cont= current board rating;/*will be beetween 10 after change the rating system to 10*/
for(i=0;i<10;i++)
{
                if(cont>=0.88)
                  {       echo' <img src="fullstar.gif">
                            cont--;
                   }
                 else
                        if(cont>0.64 and cont<0.88)
                       {       echo' <img src="3/4star.gif">
                                cont--;
                        }
                        else
                               if(cont>0.36 and cont<=0.64)
                               {       echo' <img src="1/2star.gif">
                                        cont--;
                                }
                                else
                                          if(cont>0.10 and cont<=0.36)
                                         {       echo' <img src="1/4star.gif"';>
                                                  cont--;
                                          }
                                          else
                                                  echo'<img src"emptystar.gif">
}

how I can add something like this in php and on the site?
of course this code just make sense if the currentrating is kept in a float number, that I believe it is because probably use a table with the rating to calculate the rating
thanks

You really don't need all those ANDs in there.

My idea:

[code type=php]
if ($somevar > .8)
{
  /* Do Something */
}
else if ($somevar > .6)
{
  /* Do Something */
}
else if ($somevar > .2)
{
  /* Do Something */
}
else
{
  /* Do Something */
}


You don't need the upper bound checking because you already fell through on the previous statement, so it must not match that (the else keeps it from running if the previous one ran). Likewise, end the last case without an actual check, which makes that the default action.

A switch statement might also be appropriate here, but that is for you to decide.

Elseif, not else if

sorry, I was dealing with VBScript a bit before I wrote that.

Elseif, not else if

"else if" will also work in php .

It still need a "for" or another circle, nop? it just will execute one time without it.

still need the variable who keeps the rating of the thread, how to change the options for vote a tread to 10 on a specific board and how to make a "if" like this:
    if(current board= "programming"/*if posible by name, if not by board id*/)

Full PHP with the loop I think you're looking for something like.

for($i=0; $i<10; $i++)
{
     if ($cont >= 0.88)
     {
           echo '<img src="fullstar.gif" />';
           $cont--;
      }
      else if ($cont > 0.64)
      {
           echo '<img src="3/4star.gif" />';
           $cont--;         
       }
      else if ($cont > 0.36)
      {
           echo '<img src="1/2star.gif" />';
           $cont--;
       }
      else if ($cont > 0.10)
      {
           echo '<img src="1/4star.gif" />';
           $cont--;
       }
      else
           echo '<img src="emptystar.gif" />';


}



Could you explain a bit more about

    if(current board= "programming"/*if posible by name, if not by board id*/)

I'm not sure what you are getting at there. Thanks

I´ll try the code later thaks.
about the "if", I want it to do something like if I´m in a certain board(1 or more) do something else do something else. So the if could be maded by the board name or board ID. I just need the if, the rest i think i can handle by miself because it´s simply html
