#9559 — testing for source to use

In this bit of code, the procedure is fairly simple.
1) get the value from the database.
2) check the value to find out what the first character is.
3) if the first character is "/" then the source is my site.
4) if not, the source is youtube.

I chose the / because I've never seen it used in the values on youtube.
and it makes finishing off the url easier.

the problem is, no matter what link I select, the url is always MY SITE!

What other ways can I do this?

Oh, and Beau dear? Shut the fuck up with seeing a big blank page because
that makes you a liar. 

www.mroldies.net/test4.php



$result = mysql_query("SELECT avid FROM A$year WHERE id = $number");
if (!$result) { echo 'Could not run query: ' . mysql_error();  exit; }
$vid = mysql_fetch_row($result);

echo $vid[0];
$v=$vid[0];
$v1=substr($v,0,1);


$yt="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=".$vid[0];

if ($v1="/"){$yt="http://mroldies.net".$vid[0];}
echo "<br />".$yt;

That's not the same page, sto0pid.

Your previous iteration - that which I was talking about - was completely 
blank when JavaScript is blocked or not enabled.

This:  http://www.mroldies.net/test3.html  which at this moment is still 
active, and blank.

BTW, you should hire someone who has at least a scrap of artistic 
abilities. You certainly don't.

Should be:
if ($v1=="/"){$yt="http://mroldies.net".$vid[0];} echo "<br />".$yt;

I think you've been advised of a similar error recently.

Same problem you had on your last question: the above is an assignment statement, not a 
comparison. The equality comparison operator in php is ==, not =.

Fuckin' Ada, richard, how about *learning* some shit before posting 
dopey questions, eh? How about looking through your code for simple 
errors and, like, *fixing* them before posting here, eh?

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Bringing up ancient history is not good for YOU.
That moniker was given to me by a guy who simply edited an email I had sent
him, which he posted.
The good boys of AUK took it and made it their signature.
It's been politcally correct over the years to harass me for anything I
say, even though someone else who says the same damn thing, gets applauded.

I will remind you, that it was this very KOOK (RtS), who shot down and
identified the very kookmeister who made RtS his personal punching bag.
When I found out who he really was, the chicken shit high tailed to parts
unknown and would never say another word to me.

So I'm stupid huh?
Then how come my IQ is routinely tested at 125?

Now let's see how smart you are.
You have a set of equal squares lined up in a 3x3 pattern.
How many boxes do you see?
86% of the people get the answer wrong.

Brought to you by the "Lord of the Bull!".

And with good reason, too.

No, Richard, you don't get harassed "for anything [you] say". This is what you get 
"harassed" for:
- asking the same questions, over and over
- not listening to the answers...
- ... or worse, *arguing* with the answers
- criticizing people who are trying to help you
- never even considering that the problems you have are the direct result of _your own_ 
repeated failures to learn from experience

Is that all?

Seriously. That's really not especially high. I certainly wouldn't go around bragging about a 
125 IQ.

Evidently, I'm enough smarter than you to see that your question is ambiguous: does 
"boxes" mean squares? or rectangles? or *any* enclosed figures?

Brother you really should start keeping notes of these simple errors. 
You keep revisiting the errors that people do when they first start 
using PHP.

Many in the NG have taken their own time to point these out and give you 
good advice, and to not learn or write the solutions down is being very 
disrespectful to those peoples times, which is why you probably get many 
disparaging comments.

I have a very bad memory myself but I keep a notebook and revisit it 
whenever I run into an error to ensure I (or someone else) have not 
already solved it previously.

Just a suggestion.

FYI, I found that I could use the substr() function to solve my problem
with.
With everything that I had read, there was one very important thing every
one of these writers left out!
That being, the natural mind says the first character is "1" and therefore
the number 1 should be used if you want to start at the begining.
e.g.
substr("123",1,1)
The output is "1" correct?
Wrong!
It is "2".
To output the "1", the correct code is substr("123",0,1).
Why?
I suspect that this is due to the fact the substring is treated as an array
and the array always begins with [0] by default.

Yes that is the expected return/functionality of substr(), especially if 
you read the 'manual' on the function.  It specifies that 0 is the base.

Always remember (or write it down).  php.net is your friend.
