Wierd if else problem

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi guys,

this probably aint wierd for you, but it seems like php is playin up to me. may b i missed something. so i'm kinda needing another set or may more sets of eyes. lol.

this is the code.

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$debit = $row['debit'];
$credit = $row['credit'];
$acnum = $row['acnum'];
$query1 = "SELECT cbal FROM accounts WHERE acnum = '$acnum'";
$res = mysql_query($query1);
$balancenum=mysql_num_rows($res);
while($row1 = mysql_fetch_array($res)){
$cbal = $row1['cbal'];
}
If (is_numeric($debit)){
$actype = substr($acnum,0,1);
settype($actype, "integer");
echo $actype;
echo "
";
echo gettype($actype);
echo "
";
If ($actype == 1 || $actype == 5 || $actype == 6 || $actype == {
$cbal = $cbal - $debit;
$sql2="UPDATE accounts SET cbal = '$cbal' WHERE acnum = '$acnum'";
echo "2" . $sql2;
echo "
";
mysql_query($sql2);
} else {
$cbal = $cbal + $debit;
$sql2="UPDATE accounts SET cbal = '$cbal' WHERE acnum = '$acnum'";
echo "2". $sql2;
echo "
";
mysql_query($sql2);
}
}
If (is_numeric($credit)){
$actype = substr($acnum,0,1);
settype($actype, "integer");
echo $actype;
echo "
";
echo gettype($actype);
echo "
";
If ($actype == 1 || $actype == 5 || $actype == 6 || $actype == {
$cbal = $cbal + $credit;
$sql="UPDATE accounts SET cbal = '$cbal' WHERE acnum = '$acnum'";
echo $sql;
echo "
";
mysql_query($sql);
} else {
$cbal = $cbal - $credit;
$sql="UPDATE accounts SET cbal = '$cbal' WHERE acnum = '$acnum'";
echo $sql;
echo "
";
mysql_query($sql);
}
}
}

The wierd thing about the above code is the entire if statement is carried out including the else part.
For example if $actype == 5 it does the stuff that is to be done when the value is 5, AND the stuff to be done in the ELSE section is also carried out.

can you pleaase help me out
