I get an error which is:

Quote

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LNUMBER, expecting T_CASE or T_DEFAULT or '}' in /home/faktionb/public_html/Admin/convert.php on line 6

The only things in convert.php are switch statements... Here is the code thats in convert.php. (line 6 is 01: in the first switch statement)

<?php
$month = $row['month'];
$day = $row['day'];

switch ($month) {
	01:
		$month == "January";
		break;
	02:
		$month == "February";
		break;
	03:
		$month == "March";
		break;
	04:
		$month == "April";
		break;
	05:
		$month == "May";
		break;
	06:
		$month == "June";
		break;
	07:
		$month == "July";
		break;
	08:
		$month == "August";
		break;
	09:
		$month == "September";
		break;
	10:
		$month == "October";
		break;
	11:
		$month == "November";
		break;
	12:
		$month == "December";
		break;
}
?>

I have tried everything I can think of. Even going to brute force with a crap load of if/else statements. Thanks to anyone who helps me out.

You forgot the "case" keyword before you 01, 02 etc etc.

i.e...

switch ($month) {
case 01:

And so on.

mk well do you know why it isnt switching them? this is the code that is supposed to switch the month and day (just renaming) then display the new output.

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
	include("convert.php");
	echo "
		<tr class=TourDates> 
		  <td valign=top>".$month." ".$day.", ".$row['year']." @ ".$row['time']."</td>
		  <td valign=top>".$row['city']."</td>
		  <td valign=top>".$row['venue']."</td>
		  <td>";
	echo nl2br($row['info']); 
	echo "</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
		  <td colspan=4>
			<hr size=1>
		  </td>
		</tr>";
  }

It isn't changing anything at all... just leaving it the original 01-12 01-31.. anyone know this one?

you could just make an array variable out of it.

$month = array(
   1 => "January",
   2 => "February",
   3 => "March",
   4 => "April",
   ...
   12 => "December"
);

then you can just access it by:

echo $month[5];

to output May.



but it isn't working because you're not actually changing the value of the variable $month

change this

case 01: $month == "January"; break;

to this

case 01: $month = "January"; break;

the first one you are just comparing the value in $month to the text "January"

Thanks it works like a charm. Ya I thought about an array but for some reason I always build a more "bulky" piece of code, then after I get that working I turn it into an array. I will probably change it to an array in a few hours.

Close this topic please, it has been solved.
