Hello all.

am calculating the session eg 2017/2018 by the current date dd-mm-yyyy after exploding it. however when it comes to august and september it log out. below is the problem

i did for jan -july, but august 08 & september 09 it logs out.

$seg takes in mm(month) after exploding the current date. eg jan is 01, july is 07

if($seg == 10 || $seg == 11 || $seg == 12) //that in oct/nov/dec 2016 < 2017

{

$curyear = $voms + 1;

$ecuryear = $curyear+1;

$xear = $voms."/".$curyear;

}

else if ($seg == 01 || $seg == 02 || $seg == 03 || $seg == 04 || $seg == 05 || $seg == 06 || $seg == 07 || $seg == 08 || $seg == 09)

{

$ecuryear = $voms - 1;

$xear = $ecuryear."/".$voms;


}

else

{

echo "<script> location.href='logout.php';</script>";

}

Because with Xdebug or Zend Debugger you can stop and debug and see what's going on, you should be able to trace and solve this

TL; DR
Removing the zeros trailing each number in your else if condition


The Issue
The issue is with the way you represent the numbers (i.e. 01, 02, 03 and so on) in the if condition.
Integer number are usually not represented that way in code.
It was strange to see that php allowed it.

After some little experiment in PHP REPL and a little online search, I realised that I you prefix an integer with zero in PHP, it menas that the number is an 'octal' (base number. This means number like 08 and 09 is not possible to represent because they are not part of the octal number system. Therefore, write 08 or 09 in your code is an error.

From the stack overflow link below, it looks like error such as the one described above was ignored in PHP 5, however, in PHP 7, codes with such errors produces an error message

The Solution
In essence, to resolve the bug in your code, remove the trailing zero before each number (in the if-condition) in your code. Your code should be:

...

else if ($seg == 1 || $seg == 2 || $seg == 3 || $seg == 4 || $seg == 5 || $seg == 6 || $seg == 7 || $seg == 8 || $seg == 9) {

...

}

On a side note, find better names for your variables.
Your code is somewhat hard to read
