Re: control structure question

For steps and sequences, I always use switches. Most commonly associated with the "action" variable, it would look like this: switch($action) { default: // what to show if no variable exists, or is set to a value // that is not acceptable below break; case "add_file": // what to do in the even that a file needs to be added // to the database. break; case "remove_file": // what to do in the even that a file need sto be removed // from the database. break; } Basically, whatever the value of $action, that is what section of code will execute. Hope that helps!
