Question

i’m having a little trouble with an elseif MySQL query i’m using to search my database depending on what selections are made in a form.

It’s not returning an error, but its not returning the results it should, so i’m assuming the second elseif query isn’t running at all. The first one works (when the right selections are made of course).

Can anyone point out what i’m doing wrong?

<?php
$jobtype = $_POST['jobtype'];
$country = $_POST['countries'];
$city = $_POST['cities'];

if ($jobtype=="All Jobs" && (isset($_POST['countries'])) && $city !="Whole Region") 
    {
  $result = mysql_query(
  "SELECT *
   FROM jobinformation 
   WHERE country = '$country' AND county = '$city'
   ORDER BY job_id DESC");

   if (!$result) 
     { 
      die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
     }

   $rows=mysql_num_rows($result);

   for ($j = 0; $j < $rows ; ++$j)
     {
    $row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
    echo 'jobtitle: ' . $row[3] .'<br />';
    echo 'Company: ' . $row[2] .'<br />';
     }
}

elseif ($jobtype=="All Jobs" && (isset($_POST['countries'])) && $jobtype=="Whole Region")

{

$result = mysql_query(
"SELECT *
FROM jobinformation
WHERE country = '$country'
ORDER BY job_id DESC");

etc etc (same as above)

}

Answer 1

looks like this:

elseif ($jobtype=="All Jobs" && (isset($_POST['countries'])) && $jobtype=="Whole Region")

Should be this:

elseif ($jobtype=="All Jobs" && (isset($_POST['countries'])) && $city=="Whole Region")

You’re check against $jobtype in the else if when you check it against $city in the if

Also if the first 2 parts of the if statement are the same you don’t need an elseif here you can just use an else
