If Else for include 1

[A1Pat]

hello all,

I'm a new learner in PHP, and this is my problem

<?
if ($_SESSION['language']="en")
include("htmltop_en.html");
elseif
include("htmltop_vn.html");
?>

PHP doesn't seem to understand this If... Else

thanks.

PHP does have the elseif function. But that's not what you want. You want to use just "else" here.

Elseif requires that you provide another condition:

[tt]if (foo == 3)
{
//do one thing
}
elseif (foo == 4)
{
//do another thing
}[/tt]


Personally, I intensely dislike the elseif construct and have never found a situation where code readability could not be improved through the use of nested if-statements or a switch statement.

First of all comparisons on PHP are done witrh 2 "=" equal signs so

<?
if ($_SESSION['language']="en")
should be
if ($_SESSION['language']=="en")

Second alwasy enclose your your IF statements in curly braces:

if ($_SESSION['language'][blue]==[/blue]"en")[red]{[/red]
   include("htmltop_en.html");
[red]}[/red]
elseif[red]{[/red]
   include("htmltop_vn.html");
[red]}[/red]
?>

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

Right Sleipnir, elseif requires a condition, howd i miss that.
