thanks for the replies, i tried to look for the answer i figured someone would of asked i did not find any relevant ones, all the ones asked were dealing with mySQL which i am not utilizing ill try them out and see which one works best for my use thanks again

I need to know if there is anyway i can use either sessions or the form submission it self to make a combo box have the selected value from the form showing after the page reloads (its submitted to itself) if there is a way i would like to know how to do it, or if there is a site i can read up on it. <select name="defpt" value="<?php echo htmlentities($_post["defpt"]); ?>"> <option value=".9">attacker</option> <option value=".9">Economist</option> <option value="1.15">Miner</option> <option value="1.5">Explorer</option> <option value="1">Standard</option> <option value="1.1">Researcher</option> </select> <br /> Council: <select name="DefensiveCouncil"> <option value="1.2">System Commander</option> <option value="1.15">Vice System Commander</option> <option value="1.15">Fleet Admiral</option> <option value="1.12">Vice Fleet Admiral</option> <option value="1">Starship Fleet Leader</option> <option value="1.12">Fighter squadron leader</option> <option value="1">Intelligence Officer</option> <option value="1">Secretary of treasury</option> <option value="1">Nooby Advisor</option> this are part of the combo boxes i am using, as you see i tried to use the session to set a default but it did not work.

thanks so much it works that way

You need to send: <input type="text" readonly="readonly" name="sendammount" value="<?php echo $_POST['sendammount'] ?>" /><br /> this is where the result is supposed to be posted into im gonna get some sleep and give it another go in the morning with fresh eyes, if you can help with this, then i would appreciate it very much

the code has a lot of values, i tried to keep it short.... <form action="att.php" name="fighters" method="post" > <p> AH-64 Apache:<input name="python" type="text" value="<?php echo htmlentities($_POST['python']) ?>" /> <br /> UH-60 Blackhawk:<input name="lance" type="text" value="<?php echo htmlentities($_POST['lance']) ?>"/> <br /> F-14 Tomcat:<input name="phenix" type="text" value="<?php echo htmlentities($_POST['phenix']) ?>"/> <br /> F-18 Hornet:<input name="tweet" type="text" value="<?php echo htmlentities($_POST['tweet']) ?>" /> <br /> F-15E Strike Eagle:<input name="super" type="text" value="<?php echo htmlentities($_POST['super']) ?>" /> <br /> FA-22 Raptor:<input name="indie" type="text" value="<?php echo htmlentities($_POST['indie']) ?>" /> <br /> Turrets: <input name="turrets" type="text" value="<?php echo htmlentities($_POST['turrets']) ?>" /> <br /> Upgrade?

I have a form that i need to show certain calculation on a form. these are the calculations, the form is to long but i will add the code that relate to where i need to add the calculations. the problem i have is that nothing shows up. <br /> Your attack Bonus is: <input type="text" name="attbonnum" readonly="readonly" value="<?php echo $_POST['attwith'] ?>" /> <br /> Your enemies fighter count is: <input type="text" name="Fighternum" readonly="readonly" value="<?php echo $_POST['number'] ?>" /> <br /> You need to send: <input type="text" readonly="readonly" name="sendammount" value="<?php echo $_POST['sendammount'] ?>" /><br /> $sector= $_POST ["AttackingSector"]; $council= $_POST ["AttackingCouncil"]; $playtype= $_POST ["attpt"]; $system= $_POST ["psatt"]; $titan= $_POST ["atttitan"]; $bot= $_POST ["bot"]; $power= $_POST ["zeorpower"]; $attalert= $_POST ["alert"]; $attres= $_POST ["attres"]; $oversend= $_POST ["oversend"]; $bonus= ($sector * $council * $playtype * $system * $titan * $bot * $power * $attalert * $attres); $defsec= $_POST ["defensivesector"]; $defcouncil= $_POST["DefensiveCouncil"]; $defpt= $_POST ["defpt"]; $defsystem= $_POST ["psdef"]; $deftitan= $_POST ["deftitan"]; $defalert= $_POST ["defalert"]; $defres= $_POST ["defres"]; $defbonus= ($defsec * $defcouncil * $defpt * $defsystem * $deftitan*$defalert * $defres * $oversend); if($bonus == 0){ $bonus =1;} if($defbonus == 0){ $defbonus = 1;} $attwith= $bonus / $defbonus; $python= $_POST ["python"]; $lance= $_POST ["lance"]; $pheonix= $_POST ["phenix"]; $tweet= $_POST ["tweet"]; $superator= $_POST ["super"]; $indie= $_POST ["indie"]; $turret= $_POST ["turrets"]; $ship= $_POST ["fightertype"]; $shipp= $python * 10; $shipl= $lance * 2; $shipP = $pheonix * 5; $shipt= $tweet * 4; $ships= $superator * 11; $shipi= $indie * 20; $shiptu= ($turret * 6); $shipcountotal= ($shipp + $shipl + $shipP + $shipt + $ships + $shipi + $shiptu); if ($shipcountotal == 0) {$shipcountotal = 1;} if($ship == 0){ $ship = 1;} $number= $shipcountotal / $ship; $sendammount = ceil($number / $attwith); ?>

sigh... its always a semicolon... Thanks a lot man
