If row contains certain value then = a number

[klipsch21]

I am a total newbie at php. I have a script I am working with and need to change the way something works.
Basically I need this script to look at the value of a certain column in a row and depending on what it is turn it into a number value.

The column I am working with is called 'shippingsvc'. It will have one of these four values in it:
Standard Shipping
Local Pickup
Free Shipping
Economy Shipping

So if the value is "Standard Shipping" I would like it to bring back '125'.
If it is "Local Pickup" = '126'
If it is "Free" = '127'
If it is "Economy Shipping" = '128'

I know this code below will probably not work but it might give you an idea of what I am looking to do.
if($row['shippingsvc']="Standard Shipping" {$shippingservice='125';}
if($row['shippingsvc']="Local Pickup" {$shippingservice='126';}
if($row['shippingsvc']="Free Shipping" {$shippingservice='127';}
if($row['shippingsvc']="Economy Shipping" {$shippingservice='128';}

I would appreciate any help.

a switch statement will probably work best here

http://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.switch.php

PHP Code:

switch ($row['shippingsvc']) {
    case "Standard Shipping":
        $shippingservice = '125';
        break;
    case "Local Pickup":
        $shippingservice = '126';
        break;
    case "Free Shipping":
        $shippingservice = '127';
        break;
    case "Economy Shipping":
        $shippingservice = '128';
        break;
}

Your "if" statements are perfectly OK, except the equal signs ... make them double ...

and fix the missing parenthesis ...

if($row['shippingsvc']=="Standard Shipping") {$shippingservice='125';}
if($row['shippingsvc']=="Local Pickup") {$shippingservice='126';}
if($row['shippingsvc']=="Free Shipping") {$shippingservice='127';}
if($row['shippingsvc']=="Economy Shipping") {$shippingservice='128';}

or you could...

PHP Code:

$svcId = array("Standard Shipping"=>"125","Local Pickup"=>"126","Free Shipping"=>"127","Economy Shipping"=>"128");
$shippingservice = $svcId[$row['shippingsvc']];
