Before I go any further, here is a code example so I can make helping me a little easier. Thank you for your attempt
function Mass_Action() {
$MassOption = isset($_POST['action_h']) && !empty($_POST['action_h']) ? $_POST['action_h'] : isset($_POST['action_f']) && !empty($_POST['action_f']) ? $_POST['action_f'] : '-1';
switch($MassOption) {
case preg_match("/(-1|delete|hide|save)/i", $MassOption) !== 1 :
$message = Status_Update();
break;
case "-1": break;
case "delete all":
$message = Delete_All_Orders();
break;
case "delete":
$message = Delete_Orders();
break;
case "hide":
$message = Hide_Orders();
break;
}
return $message;
}
With this function I check to see if $MassOption equals any of the following, -1 (negative 1), delete all, delete, hide and save is in there for future purpose.
The string can also be empty or a value other than these, like a status shipping, completed, new, etc.
So on the first one, it checks that none of the hardcoded values are present (this is what I am trying to get working)
The second fails the function silently in essence not doing anything.
The rest are self explanatory.
Currently, the $MassOption is coming out -1 but still firing the preg_match statement.
And on a side note, what is up with the default on a switch statement?
That thing always fires no matter what, I essentially never use it because of this.
Best,
