Help Using BOOLEAN

[jbwebdesign]

Hello, i am trying to understand why this is happening to me.....

 

can someone please explain why when i use a boolean inside of a function, it echo's out the number 1 instead of returning it?

 

I am doing this on a Wordpress website inside of the index.php file at the first line.

 

when it redirects the user, the number 1 appears at the very top of the page.

 

 

here is my code for trying to use it:

 

<?php if($tm->mobile_check()){ header("Location: http://m.mywebsite.com/"); } ?>

 

here is my code for the function:

 

<?php

function mobile_check()
/* THIS FUNCTION IS FOR MOBILE WEBSITE USE */
{
	$iPod = stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"iPod");
	$iPhone = stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"iPhone");
	$iPad = stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"iPad");
	$Android= stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"android");
	$webOS= stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"webOS");	

	$mobile = FALSE;

	switch($mobile)
	{
		case $iPod:
		case $iPhone:
		case $iPad:
		case $Android:
		case $webOS:
		$mobile = TRUE;
		break;	
	}

}

?>

Are you absolutely sure that it is this code that is causing the issue, and not something else? When testing this outside of Wordpress, I don't get any "1"s.

 

That said, two points:

 

-- Don't you need to "return $mobile;" at the end of your function?

 

-- I'm pretty sure that you are using "switch" incorrectly, and it won't have the results you are expecting: http://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.switch.php. You're currently saying if $mobile (set to false) == $ipad (set to false) then turn $mobile to true. Seems like a logic error there.

i have no idea what the problem was.....

 

but i found a way around it.

 

 

by the way, i think the switch case statement is working correctly.

 

i am trying to say that if the $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] contains any of the following: ipad, iphone, android, ipod, webos then return is mobile.

 

so that i can re-direct the user to a mobile compatible website.

 

 

Thanks for your help
