[SOLVED] If else statement returning both instead of one?

If else statement returning both instead of one?

This is my first PHP if statement so bear with me if I have made a silly mistake!

I am running pmWiki and have a two variables for the Group names. $Group is the group name without spaces (EasyCatalog for example) and $Groupspace is the group name with spaces (Easy Catalog for example).

I want to check if $Groupspaced == "Easy Catalog", if true then return the $Group variable, else return $Groupspaced

This is my code:

            <p class="grouptitle">
                <?php if ($Groupspaced == "Easy Catalog") : ?>
                    <a href='{$ScriptUrl}/{$Group}' class="pagegroup">{$Group}</a>
                <?php else : ?>
                    <a href='{$ScriptUrl}/{$Group}' class="pagegroup">{$Groupspaced}</a>
                <?php endif; ?>
            </p>

The problem I am having is that it is returning both links not one.

Solution

It seems you are using Smarty: use its syntax for if else:

{if $Groupspaced eq 'Easy Catalog'}
    <a href='{$ScriptUrl}/{$Group}' class="pagegroup">{$Group}</a>
{else}
    <a href='{$ScriptUrl}/{$Group}' class="pagegroup">{$Groupspaced}</a>
{/if}

More you can read at http://www.smarty.net/docsv2/en/language.function.if.tpl

I see that this is not a smarty: Here is pmWiki if else syntax:

(:if cond param:) body (:else:) body (:ifend:)

In your case the code should be:

(:if equal "{$Groupspaced}" "Easy Catalog":)
     <a href='{$ScriptUrl}/{$Group}' class="pagegroup">{$Group}</a>
(:else:)
    <a href='{$ScriptUrl}/{$Group}' class="pagegroup">{$Group}</a>
(:ifend:)
