php nest problem

nest

[craign924]

hello,

from oscommerce
i have this code to test for login , if logged in then customer can fill out a form . so i am changing things like this

<?php echo $messageStack->output('contact'); ?>

to

'.php echo $messageStack->output('contact').'

i am stuck on this one getting this

<?php
 if ($messageStack->size('contact') > 0) {
?>

when changed to

'.
 if ($messageStack->size('contact') > 0) {
.'

error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/comta3/public_html/store/buybacks.php on line 124


here is my login test.

<?php 
if ( !tep_session_is_registered('customer_id') )
{
// code for NON-LOGGED-IN goes here
echo 'to use the buyback form you must be loggedin!';
} 
else 
{
// code for LOGGED-IN goes here 

echo ' 

';
} 

?>

if there is an easier way to handle this any suggestions welcome, becasue there are like 30 of these that need to be changed,



thanks craig

You need the <?php ?> tags. They signify when the php code is emitted in the page and must be parsed by PHP. So whatever is between the

<?php
// PHP Code
?>

And outside the php tags you have HTML or whatever the document type specifies. Why you want to change the tags btw?

i am changing the php tags because the form would be nested inside php tags and the form will have php tags

See how other forms in osC are setup for example in the login.php:

<td width="100%" valign="top"><?php echo tep_draw_form('login', tep_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, 'action=process', 'SSL')); ?><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

The php tags open and close inside the html.

i understand that, what i am concerned with is how to fit this in with my login test-- to test whether or not customer is logged in or not.

[enigma1]

if you check the files, throughout the checkout process osc checks the customer presence. Example:

// if the customer is not logged on, redirect them to the login page
if (!tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) {
// Not logged in
tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'));
}

use the tep_session_is_registered function. It checks is the session key is present.

So basically the redirect makes things easy because it can be placed right after the application_top.php inclusion in the scripts. The rest of code can be executed only if the customer logs in. In other words you don't need an "else" or any other code if the script supposed to be executed for logged in customers.

this is what i have been looking for,

thank you so much!

Regarding your original error, look at the php line preceding the if statement to see if you missed the semicolon.
