If and then

[Logan7]

I have a value in one field and I need to complete another field based on the first filed value eg.
the first field value is “appendix” which is a Specimen type and I want the second value to display “This is an appendix”, the second type being Description. Thanks

What is a “field”? What have you tried? Manual: https://php.net

[Logan7]

I tried this:
if ($data[‘Specimen’]==“Appendix”)
{
$record[‘Description’].=‘This is an appendix’;
}

[chorn]

yeah, works

<?php

$data['Specimen']="Appendix";

if ($data['Specimen']=="Appendix")
{
$record['Description'].='This is an appendix';
}

var_dump($record);

/*
array(1) {
  ["Description"]=>
  string(19) "This is an appendix"
}
*/

what is the problem?

And your question is?

[frankbeen]

if ($data[‘Specimen’]==“Appendix”)
{
    $record[‘Description’].=‘This is an appendix’;
}

Why do you use the concatenating assignment operator ( .= ) ?
Did $record[‘Description’] already have a value? Better said is $record[‘Description’] already initialized? Otherwise it should be

if ($data['Specimen'] == 'Appendix')
{
    $record['Description'] = 'This is an appendix';
}

Just open a new file, copy all in and run it.
