Is it good practice to include a list of functions (in a comment section) at the beginning of a PHP file?

Ared dashes used regularly too or are underscores preferred?

thanks will try it out

Hi I have two forms on my page and their processing scripts are currently on the same page. I would like to move them off the page so they don't load each time and also to reduce the amount of code for readability. I want the page containing the form to send the form output to the form processing page but then redirect back with a message displayed on the original page containing the form. How would I do this? thanks

I am trying to decide on using a naming convention for my functions, I've read that zend recommends camelCase but I've also come across alot of PHP functions named like so: function my_function($args) { } Which is best?

ok sorted thanks

sorry didnt really get that, i tried the line you provided but i got the error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING

Hi i am using the mail() function to send emails and I have declared a header parameter. The problem is that the space between 'My' and 'Company' is not shown in the From area when i receive the email in my inbox. So the From is displayed as MyCompany instead of My Company. Here is the code: //set email headers $headers = "From: My Company"; //send it $mailSent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); }

How do i place them both the form and the validation on the same page? I could do a submit to self for the validation but then i would still have to submit to another page after for calculation and display of results :S

ok so i cant really understand the second if statement, maybe you could explain what happens exactly there. secondly i am including this on the second page to which the first page including the form sends the data. now if there is an error i would like to redirect back to the 1st page after showing an error message, or indeed show it on the 1st page, and also populate the form with the data, how can i do that? thanks

yes i need to check all values, so will use the foreach loop excluding the submit thanks alot

hi i have around 40 fields all requiring the same validation, making sure that they are not empty and that they are numeric, can I check them all at once instead of writing a check for each one of them?

Hi I have a questionnaire which the user submits and then the totals for the four variables are gathered according to the user's answer to the questions. At the end a report must be produced telling the user which style he prefers according to what variable/s are highest. I have the following code whose logic however breaks in the case when there is more than one highest value. how should i solve this? thanks $visual = $a1_3 + $a2_2 + $a3_1 + $a4_4 + $a5_4 + $a6_1 + $a7_1 + $a8_4 + $a9_4 + $a10_1; $auditory = $a1_2 + $a2_1 + $a3_4 + $a4_1 + $a5_1 + $a6_3 + $a7_3 + $a8_2 + $a9_2 + $a10_3; $kinesthetic = $a1_1 + $a2_4 + $a3_2 + $a4_3 + $a5_3 + $a6_2 + $a7_2 + $a8_3 + $a9_1 + $a10_4; $auditory_digital = $a1_4 + $a2_3 + $a3_3 + $a4_2 + $a5_2 + $a6_4 + $a7_4 + $a8_1 + $a9_3 + $a10_2; echo "Visual score: $visual<br />"; echo "Auditory score: $auditory<br />"; echo "Kinesthetic score: $kinesthetic<br />"; echo "Auditory digital score: $auditory_digital<br />"; If ($visual == $auditory && $visual == $auditory_digital && $visual == $kinesthetic) { echo ("Your preferred styles are Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic and Auditory Digital"); } elseif ($visual == $auditory && $visual == $kinesthetic) { echo ("Your preferred styles are Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic"); } elseif ($visual == $auditory && $visual == $auditory_digital) { echo ("Your preferred styles are Visual, Auditory and Auditory Digital"); } elseif ($visual == $kinesthetic && $visual == $auditory_digital) { echo ("Your preferred styles are Visual, Kinesthetic and Auditory Digital"); } elseif ($auditory == $kinesthetic && $auditory == $auditory_digital) { echo ("Your preferred styles are Auditory, Kinesthetic and Auditory Digital"); } elseif ($visual > $auditory && $visual > $kinesthetic && $visual > $auditory_digital){ echo ("Your preferred style is Visual"); } elseif ($auditory > $visual && $auditory > $kinesthetic && $auditory > $auditory_digital){ echo ("Your preferred style is Auditory"); } elseif ($kinesthetic > $visual && $kinesthetic > $auditory && $kinesthetic > $auditory_digital){ echo ("Your preferred style is Kinesthetic"); } elseif ($auditory_digital > $visual && $auditory_digital > $auditory && $auditory_digital > $kinesthetic){ echo ("Your preferred style is Auditory Digital"); } elseif ($visual == $auditory) { echo ("Your preferred styles are Visual and Auditory"); } elseif ($visual == $kinesthetic) { echo ("Your preferred styles are Visual and Kinesthetic"); } elseif ($visual == $auditory_digital) { echo ("Your preferred styles are Visual and Auditory Digital"); } elseif ($auditory == $kinesthetic) { echo ("Your preferred styles are Auditory and Kinesthetic"); } elseif ($auditory == $auditory_digital) { echo ("Your preferred styles are Auditory and Auditory Digital"); } elseif ($kinesthetic == $auditory_digital) { echo ("Your preferred styles are Kinesthetic and Auditory Digital"); }

any help? thanks

yeah that did it thanks, I am wondering how is the best way to code the part where the program would recognise results that are equal to each other in that eventuality, for example auditory and visual would be the same amount, then the program would have to tell the user that Your preferred styles are auditory and visual
