Ok. So, how to turn the 'TRUE' into 'boolean' ?@NogDog#1611813
I am trying to create a webform. Only difference is, I am not directly creating the html input fields by giving labels, input types and their name attributes. Instead, I am listing the input types and their labels on arrays.
Meaning, the php script would check the appropriate arrays and create the input types and figure whether the input type is a required one (*) or not based on the array values.
I get unlimited lines of errors. Like these:
Line 133 is this one:
Short context of the code where the error occurs (lines 120-147):
I do not understand where "offset 7" comes into play. There is no mention of 'offset 7' in my lines (132-133):
Note that, the error starts from the very first 'while loop'.
Here is my code but not in full:
@NogDogDec 13.2019 — #
Just remove the quotes.
@NogDogDec 13.2019 — #
Offset in this case means a numeric array index. So in this example...
...
PS: You don't _have_ to use Boolean literals necessarily, but one benefit is that they are case-insensitive.
@NogDogDec 13.2019 — #Another PS: :)

@NogDog#1611817
Even though I have used the if(isset) before on forms, I have never used it to test on arrays. And so, do you mind showing an example ?
Btw, the array has 7 values. initial offset starts at '0' and so the final offset is '6'. I have not written the code to go over the '6' and so I do not understand why the script is not stopping at offset '6' and why it is searching for offset '7' and beyond. Note the $required_current_count = 6. And not beyond 6.
See again ...
How to solve this crisis ? I'll wait for your isset() example that checks array value offsets or whatever you meant.
Do you mean I should be doing like this:
That way, I make sure the array offset does exist.
But like this NOT:
I am talking about the isset() to check the array value offset.
You know what. Neither code above solves the issue. The issue about the undefined offset 7 and 8 and so on, exists.
The script should not be searching for any array offsets over 6 as the initial offset starts at 0 and ends at 6 since there are 7 array values.
@NogDogDec 13.2019 — #Could you just do something like this?
However, in the bigger picture, and depending on things I don't know, I might consider refactoring things to use a single multi-dimension array that could be walked through via
@NogDog#1611823
Thanks!
I fogot about the if(in_array().
Thanks for reminding.
Btw, I haven't got into oop yet and so these are confusing '=>'.
Putting all your code in one line looks like this:
I have never seen any array looking like that and so guessing you rushed and made a typo. Do you mind fixing it so I can understand what you're trying to tell me ?
Show me sample in procedural style format. Beginner format.@NogDogDec 13.2019 — #
I would highly recommend _not_ putting it all on one line. The PHP parser doesn't care one way or the other, but it's _much_ easier for us humans to maintain the code when it's on multiple lines -- and consistently indented -- versus one long line you can't even see without a bunch of horizontal scrolling. :)
In any case, the

I just opened another thread regarding this same script but different issue:
https://www.webdeveloper.com/d/387053-fatal-error-cannot-use-isset-on-the-result-of-an-expression
As for this thread, it ain't finished yet. I will contact you again tomorrow (so stay tuned tomorrow) as nearly 2am here and so got to go.
Thanks for all the helps here.@NogDog#1611830
Thanks for the sample but I am still at procedural style and mysqli. Not at pdo or oop yet. I do not understand the "->" or the "=>".
Do you mind switching your code to the style I understand ? That way, I will be able to see what you are portraying.@NogDogDec 19.2019 — #There's not really any other style for defining a PHP array that uses string-type indexes (often called a "hash" in other languages). The only other alternative is to define each element in a separate command, and you really do not want to do that.
Which Of These Is “Not Equal To Operator” ?
1.
[code]
if(!$current_value_matched == ‘TRUE’)
2.
[code]
if($current_value_matched !== ‘TRUE’)
3.
[code]
if(!$current_value_matched = ‘TRUE’)
4.
[code]
if($current_value_matched != ‘TRUE’)
I tried all of them and none of them give the results I want.
I reckon number 4 is correct.

PS: You don't _have_ to use Boolean literals necessarily, but one benefit is that they are case-insensitive.

Btw, the array has 7 values. initial offset starts at '0' and so the final offset is '6'. I have not written the code to go over the '6' and so I do not understand why the script is not stopping at offset '6' and why it is searching for offset '7' and beyond. Note the $required_current_count = 6. And not beyond 6.

@developer_webauthorDec 13.2019 — #NogDog,Do you mean I should be doing like this:
<i>

{
while($value != $form_questions_required_labels[$required_current_count] || $required_current_count != $required_count_end)

{
$current_required_label_number = $required_current_count;
$required_current_count_match = true;
$required_current_count = $required_count_end;
<i> </i> $current_value_matched = true;
<i> </i> }
<i> </i> else
<i> </i> {
<i> </i> $required_current_count++;
<i> </i> }
<i> </i> }
<i> </i> }
<i> </i> That way, I make sure the array offset does exist.
But like this NOT:
<i>
</i>//Check if current Question is a * REQUIRED Question or not.
//There are 7 required questions: $form_questions_required_labels = array().
$required_current_count = '0'; $required_count_end = '6'; $required_current_count_match = false;
while($value != $form_questions_required_labels[$required_current_count] || $required_current_count != $required_count_end)

if($value == "$form_questions_required_labels[$required_current_count]")
{
$current_required_label_number = $required_current_count;
$required_current_count_match = true;
$required_current_count = $required_count_end;
<i> </i> $current_value_matched = true;
<i> </i> }
<i> </i> else
<i> </i> {
<i> </i> $required_current_count++;
<i> </i> }
<i> </i> }
<i> </i> }
<i> </i> I am talking about the isset() to check the array value offset.
You know what. Neither code above solves the issue. The issue about the undefined offset 7 and 8 and so on, exists.
The script should not be searching for any array offsets over 6 as the initial offset starts at 0 and ends at 6 since there are 7 array values.

However, in the bigger picture, and depending on things I don't know, I might consider refactoring things to use a single multi-dimension array that could be walked through via
foreach()<i>
</i>$form_questions = array(
array(
'label' => 'First Name',
'required' => true,
'type' => 'text',
'name' => 'first_name'
),
array(
'label' => 'About Me',
'required' => false,
'type' => 'textarea',
'name' => 'about_me'
) // etc....
);

@developer_webauthorDec 13.2019 — #Thanks!
I fogot about the if(in_array().
Thanks for reminding.
Btw, I haven't got into oop yet and so these are confusing '=>'.
Putting all your code in one line looks like this:
<i>
</i>$form_questions = array(array('label' => 'First Name','required' => true,'type' => 'text','name' => 'first_name'),array('label' => 'About Me','required' => false,'type' => 'textarea','name' => 'about_me') // etc....);
I have never seen any array looking like that and so guessing you rushed and made a typo. Do you mind fixing it so I can understand what you're trying to tell me ?
Show me sample in procedural style format. Beginner format.

@NogDogDec 13.2019 — #>@developer_web#1611824 Putting all your code in one line looks like this:
I would highly recommend _not_ putting it all on one line. The PHP parser doesn't care one way or the other, but it's _much_ easier for us humans to maintain the code when it's on multiple lines -- and consistently indented -- versus one long line you can't even see without a bunch of horizontal scrolling. :)
In any case, the
=>->$form_questions[0]['required']<i>
</i>foreach($form_questions as $question) {
echo "<label for='{$question['name']}'>{$question['label']}";
if($question['required']) {
echo "*";
}
echo "</label>n";
// some if/else or switch/case statement here based on $question['type']
// to control what form element type gets output...
}

Do you mind switching your code to the style I understand ? That way, I will be able to see what you are portraying.
