Topic: if data is between "then echo"

[jacko_162]

i have a set of values that i echo on a page;

$test1, $test2, $test3 etc etc..

i want an if statement to show if the said value is between X and y show blueicon.png else show redicon.png

i have been googling syntax but to no avail.

this is my current code snippet;
<?php echo $test1 ?> <? if ($test1 < 1.025)
echo "show blue icon.png"; ?>

Code: [Select]

<?php
$val1 = 5;
$val2 = 10;
$val3 = 7;

if (($val3 > $val1) && ($val3 < $val2)) {
  echo 'icon.png';
}
else {
  echo 'othericon.png';
}
?>

You could use something along the lines of:

if ($test1 > $x && $test1 < $y) {
    echo '<img src="blueicon.jpg" />';
} else {
    echo '<img src="redicon.jpg" />';
}

However for something like this you may be better off using the ternary operator (scroll down to example 2):

Code: [Select]

<img src="<?php echo ($test1 > $x && $test1 < $y) ? 'blueicon.jpg' : 'redicon.jpg'; ?>" />
Edit: not sure given your original description and Wolphie's reply, which numbers you want to compare..

Me either really, I just took a shot in the dark.

Me either really, I just took a shot in the dark.

each statement will have the numbers entered manually.

for instance;

IF $test1 = is between 1.020 & 1.027 = show blueicon.png
else show redicon.png

hope this clears it up, tbh i could have these set values in the database but for now i need them in the code.

Replacing the $x and $y vars in my example should be what you need.
