I went through this piece by piece making sure every line worked. Now, I can't get it to work at all. It's a structural issue I just can't see it. The values of these properties are Facebook Graph API user attributes which can vary depending on the user. Any help on a solution would be appreciated.

        function newData () {
        $explode_start_date = explode("-", $this->employer_start_date);
        $explode_end_date = explode("-", $this->employer_end_date);
        if (isset($this->employer_position)) {
            if (isset($this->employer_location)) {
                if ($explode_start_date[0] != '0000' || $explode_start_date[1] != '00') {
                        if ($explode_end_date[0] != '0000' || $explode_end_date[1] != '00') {
                            echo "Location, Position, Start Date and End Date are set.";
                    }
                } elseif ($explode_start_date[0] == '0000' || $explode_start_date[1] == '00') {
                        if ($explode_end_date[0] != '0000' || $explode_end_date[1] != '00') {
                            echo "Location, Position and End Date are set.";
                    }
                }
            } elseif (!isset($this->employer_location)) {
                if ($explode_start_date[0] != '0000' || $explode_start_date[1] != '00') {

Can we see the error?

[izrafel]

what is the error is gives? (not only errors but also warnings, if any).
and the second question is what should this piece of code do?i mean what should the input and output be?

There are no error messages, it just shoots nothing back. The point is to find which values are set and call separate functions accordingly.

Hey mattrmclaren, I've worked with the Facebook APi before and do it for a job. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Maybe I'll be able to help you better then, but your code is very inefficient and I have trouble finding out what you want it to do.
