help with Fastway Shipping Module

[FredZ]

Need to be changed to
if ($rec->fields['f_delivery'] == 'xxx') {

For this code to have any hope of working.

OK, so I have tested the suggestion mentioned. It simply gives me a blank page.

The original code in the includes/modules/shipping/fastway.php file reads

$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "fastway_zones WHERE $topcode >= f_postcode and $topcode <= f_postcode";
$rec = $db->Execute($sql); 

    if ($rec->fields['f_delivery'] = 'S/D') {
    $days = 'same';
    }
    if ($rec->fields['f_delivery'] = 'N/D') {
    $days = 'next';
    } 
    else {
    $days = $rec['f_delivery'];
} 

It is plainly obvious that this module is not working as originally intended (given that it was modified from the original OSC fastway module). Given I am not a coder I feel I have little choice but to attempt to get this module working properly anyway.

What logs am I looking at to establish where the code is failing, that's if it is logging anything.

What tools can I used to assist me in getting this module to work?
What other resources can/should I be using?

Regards

After some considerable help from a programmer friend of mine I have a solution to the shipping days problem.

$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "fastway_zones WHERE $topcode >= f_postcode and $topcode <= f_postcode";
$rec = $db->Execute($sql); 

    if ($rec->fields['f_delivery'] == '') {
    $days = 'unknown';
    }
    if ($rec->fields['f_delivery'] == 'S/D') {
    $days = 'same';
    }
    if ($rec->fields['f_delivery'] == 'N/D') {
    $days = 'next';
    }
    else {
    $days = ($rec->fields['f_delivery']); 
    } 

I am now working on the rest of the module for correct function. These include the use of f-region and f-suburb to validate the customers address.

I suspect f-satchel isn't working either.

if ($rec->fields['f_delivery'] == '') {
$days = 'unknown';

This line isn't needed. It does nothing useful.
The 'else' part of the code takes care of the 'unknown'.

if ($rec->fields['f_delivery'] == 'S/D') {
$days = 'same';
}

This MAY get set, but it get's reset by the next couple of lines. This is a coding error/bug

Must've done something wrong.

The original code in the includes/modules/shipping/fastway.php file reads

$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "fastway_zones WHERE $topcode >= f_postcode and $topcode <= f_postcode";
$rec = $db->Execute($sql); 

    if ($rec->fields['f_delivery'] = 'S/D') {
    $days = 'same';
    }
    if ($rec->fields['f_delivery'] = 'N/D') {
    $days = 'next';
    } 
    else {
    $days = $rec['f_delivery'];
} 

You only had to make two changes to fix this. (adding the '=')

$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "fastway_zones WHERE $topcode  >= f_postcode and $topcode <= f_postcode";
$rec = $db->Execute($sql); 

    if ($rec->fields['f_delivery'] == 'S/D') {
    $days = 'same';
    }
    if ($rec->fields['f_delivery'] == 'N/D') {
    $days = 'next';
    } 
    else {
    $days = $rec['f_delivery'];
}

    } 
    else {
    $days = $rec['f_delivery'];
} 

Not at all. If I simply added the = signs as mentioned all I got was a blank page. I needed to modify the last line to get it to display the contents of f-delivery
