If Else Statement Wrong

[TKB]

Could anyone tell me what's wrong with this code?

Thank you in advance for your effort.

<?php
If ($CategoryName == 'U-100') {
($UnitPrice = 500);
} else if ($CategoryName == 'U-130') {
($UnitPrice = 400);
} else if ($CategoryName == 'U-105') {
($UnitPrice = 350);
} else if ($CategoryName == 'U-95') {
($UnitPrice = 200);
}else if($CategoryNam e == 'U-85') {
($UnitPrice = 445);
$Total = $ProductUnits*U nitPrice
echo $Total
?>

You probably need

($UnitPrice = 445); }

I added the }
Also in this type of situation you might be interested in using a switch/case structure. It's easier to look at (cleaner) and therefore makes it easier to add to in the future, especially by a different person if that is to occur.

Note* the ElseIf should work perfectly fine, this is just a consideration

Oh, I forgot something big.
If Else in php is used by elseif , note that it is one word, you used two.

Actually both work. There is little difference between the two, however, elseif (the single word) is slightly faster.

The problem is that you're missing the ending curly parenthesis of your if / else statement. I assume it should go after ($UnitPrice = 445);

Also, it is unnecessary to place the variable assignments within brackets.

To sum up here is the fixed code:

<?php
If ($CategoryName == 'U-100') {
$UnitPrice = 500;
} elseif ($CategoryName == 'U-130') {
$UnitPrice = 400; 
} elseif ($CategoryName == 'U-105') {
$UnitPrice = 350; 
} elseif ($CategoryName == 'U-95') {
$UnitPrice = 200; 
} elseif($CategoryName == 'U-85') {
$UnitPrice = 445;
}
$Total = $ProductUnits*UnitPrice;
echo $Total;
?>

Cut and paste as needed.
The alternative, using a case statement would be:

<?php
switch($CategoryName){

case 'U-100':
$UnitPrice = 500;
break;

case 'U-130':
$UnitPrice = 400;
break;

case 'U-105':
$UnitPrice = 350; 
break;

case 'U-95':
$UnitPrice = 200; 
break;

case 'U-85':
$UnitPrice = 445;
break;

}

$Total = $ProductUnits*UnitPrice;
echo $Total;
?>

Hope that helps,
