I\'m new to PHP and trying to create the following whilst minimizing the amount of code needed. PHP should show a list of 100 then display if the number is / by 3, 5 or 3 and 5.
Nope... you should check first if it's divisble for 15 (3x5) (or 3 and 5) and after you can do other checks:
if($number % 15 == 0) {
echo "BY3 AND 5";
} elseif ($number % 5 == 0) {
echo "BY5";
} elseif ($number % 3 == 0) {
echo "BY3";
}
echo "</td></tr>";
?>
Because every number divisble for 15 is also divisble for 3 and 5. So your last check could never hit
Update the code as given below
<?php $var = range(0, 100); ?>
<table>
<?php foreach ($var as &$number)
{
echo " <tr>
<td>$number</td>
<td>";
if($number % 3 == 0 && $number % 5 == 0)
{
echo "BY3 AND 5";
}
elseif ($number % 5 == 0)
{
echo "BY5";
}
elseif ($number % 3 == 0)
{
echo "BY3";
}
echo "</td></tr>";
}
?>
if I'm reading your question correct then you are looking for :
if ($number % 3 == 0 && $number %5 == 0) {
echo "BY3 AND 5";
} elseif ($number % 3 == 0) {
echo "BY3";
} elseif ($number % 5 == 0) {
echo "BY5";
}
Alternative version :
echo ($number % 3 ? ($number % 5 ? "BY3 and 5" : "BY 3") : ($number % 5 ? "BY 5" : ""));
