engine won't read elseif ($var=='yes')

Post by rick.emmet »

Hello everyone,
I have a strange problem I have code that the php engine skips over as if it isn't there. The code its skips is "elseif ($var=='yes')" and since $var is declared within the function, the php engine should be able to read it. I don't see anything wrong with the code and am hoping someone will spot what I'm not seeing. Thanks in advance for you help!

Code: Select all

1  <?php
2 
3  function fix_login($username, $passwd) {
4  // check username and password with db
5  // if yes, return true
6  // else throw error
7
8	
 9     // connect to db
10    $conn = db_connect();
11
12    // check if username is unique
13    $result = mysqli_query($conn, "select reg_var from clients where 
14 	user_name='".$username."' and password = sha1('".$passwd."')");
15
16 	$row = mysqli_fetch_row($result);
17	$var = $row[0];// Declared within a function, can be seen in the else if loops
18	        
19	if (!$result) {
20        echo "There's a problem with the user name or password, try again <br />";
21
22	 exit;
23	 
24	[color=#FF0000]} elseif ($var=='yes') {	//WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS?[/color]
25	  
26	 echo "from the var equals yes loop, got the result I wanted.";
27	 return true;
28
29	 exit;
30	 
31	 } elseif (mysqli_num_rows($result)>0) {	
32	  
33	 echo "from the num_rows loop ".$var .".";
34	 return true;
35	
36	 exit;
37	 
38    	} else {
39	  
40    	 echo "from the failure loop ".$var;
41	 echo " You must first complete the registration process, please 
42	 			check your email for a confirmation email<br />";
43				
44	 display_login_form();
45	 exit;
46	}
47
48	mysqli_free_result($result);
49	mysqli_close($conn);
50
51	}
52
53	?>
Cheers,
Rick

I forgot to mention, when I'm testing this code, the condition $var=='yes' is true.
Thanks much,
Rick
