I want to assign random profile pictures to users when they register on a website. I have a problem with my code. If I limit the "if and elseif" statements to 2 conditions, it works well. But when I go over 2 (in this case I have 10 conditions), the code doesn't work. If "switch" statement should be used instead, how would you write the code?
$rand = rand(1,10); //random number between 1 and 10
if($rand == 1)
$profile_pic = "/defaults/profile_pic1.png";
else if($rand == 2)
$profile_pic = "/defaults/profile_pic2.png";
.
.
.
else if($rand == 9)
$profile_pic = "/defaults/profile_pic9.png";
else
$profile_pic = "/defaults/profile_pic10.png";
I hope that's what you want
<?php
$rand = rand(1,10);
switch ($rand) {
case "1":
$profile_pic = "/defaults/profile_pic1.png";
echo "1";
break;
case "2":
$profile_pic = "/defaults/profile_pic2.png";
echo "2";
break;
case "3":
$profile_pic = "/defaults/profile_pic3.png";
echo "3";
break;
case "4":
$profile_pic = "/defaults/profile_pic4.png";
echo "4";
break;
case "5":
$profile_pic = "/defaults/profile_pic5.png";
echo "5";
break;
case "6":
$profile_pic = "/defaults/profile_pic6.png";
echo "6";
break;
case "7":
$profile_pic = "/defaults/profile_pic7.png";
echo "7";
break;
case "8":
$profile_pic = "/defaults/profile_pic8.png";
echo "8";
break;
case "9":
$profile_pic = "/defaults/profile_pic9.png";
echo "9";
break;
case "10":
$profile_pic = "/defaults/profile_pic10.png";
echo "10";
break;
default:
$profile_pic = "/defaults/profile_picDEFAULT.png";
echo "default PHOTO";
}
?>
