Jump to Else

[unemployment]

I have a page that has a continue button. If the user presses continue, I want to run the stuff in the else part of the if. Is this possible?

<?php

if (something)
{
	//do something here
	<input type="submit" value="continue button" />
}
else
{
	//if the continue button was press go down to the else part of this if
}

?>

Why would you want to do that?

if your using a if you want

if(something)
{

 works
}
ELSE
{

the else is for if the something fails to do what you want..

}

so why would you do that?

if (isset($_GET['continue'])
{
    //do something here
}
else
{
    ?>
    <form action="" method="get">
        <p>
            <input tyoe="hidden" name="continue" value="1" />
            <input type="submit" value="continue button" />
        </p>
    </form>
}

this is just basic logic...

Basically, I am trying to say... if company names match... show suggested companies, but if you press continue because those companies don't match the one you are creating, go to the next step and finish creating your company.

Cool... so ... what's that problem now ?

The problem is that I have it set up like...

if (company names match the one you typed)
{
    // show suggested companies and join one or press continue
     <input type="submit" value="continue" />
} 
else
{
   // those companies don't match the one you are creating or you pressed continue
   //finish creating your company.
},

okay...

so what is preventing you from using the example above to create the correct code ?

You can use the switch() method..

switch is basically for use instead of a big list of else ifs.
