Question

I am stuck on figuring out how to display different data based on what input is made in a custom field.

I have radio buttons as my input field in a registration form, with 3 options. X, Y, Z.

They are saved in a custom field called member_status, this is saved as user_meta

My code effort is something liek this…but I can’t figure it out!

global $current_user;

get_currentuserinfo();

$userID = $current_user->ID;

$memberstatus = get_user_meta($userID,'member_status',true);

If $memberstatus = X {

// do something here if X

} elseif $memberstatus = Y {

// do something here if Y

} elseif  $memberstatus = Z {

// do something here if Z

and the question is:…….

I do not know how to construct the IF statements correctly, this is just a guess above….

Answer 1

If you really save it as meta with member_status then:

if($memberstatus == 'X'){
    // do something here if X
} elseif ($memberstatus == 'Y'){
    // do something here if Y
} elseif ($memberstatus == 'Z'){
    // do something here if Z
}
