duplicate id-warning with if

Created November 27, 2012 17:03

I've got a div with "content", this div is inside a if-stat as follows:

if (isset ($_GET['s'])) {
echo '<div id="content">';
}

further down on the smae page I have:

if (!isset ($_GET['s'])) {
echo '<div id="content">';
}

this gives me a alert telling me I have duplicate ids on the same page (same goes for inside different functions)

is there anyway to tell phpstorm that they are not duplicates?

Hi Kristofer,

Unfortunately not -- unless you want to disable this particular inspection (via Alt+Tab or by clicking on "light bulb" icon).

In meantime -- watch/vote/etc this ticket: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-5020 (and http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-1098 -- the same but for Smarty).

P.S.
The only other alternative is to re-think your code <--> design interaction, e.g. instead of (very basic general example, which may not be applicable to your case)

if ($a) {
echo '<div id="abc">bla bla...'
}
else {
echo '<div id="abc">Mega Bla Bla...'
}

do something like this (the general idea)

if ($a) {
  $text = "bla bla..."
}
else {
  $text = "Mega Bla Bla..."
}
echo '<div id="abc">' . $text;

ok thanks

that doesn't really help though since the only reason I "post the same id twice" like that is cause I want it in different places depending on the get

thanks though I'll follow those issues
