x8668k Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Hi, I'm new at php and have a little problem...The code below works as I want it:[code]<html><body><? if (isset($Test2)) { echo "Test2"; } else if (isset($Test3)) { echo "Test3"; } else if (isset($Test4)) { echo "Test4"; } else if (isset($Test5)) { echo "Test5"; } else { echo "Test1"; }?><form action="<?php_self?>" method="post"> <input type="submit" name="Test1" value="Test1"> <input type="submit" name="Test2" value="Test2"> <input type="submit" name="Test3" value="Test3"> <input type="submit" name="Test4" value="Test4"> <input type="submit" name="Test5" value="Test5"></form></body></html>[/code]But I don't want a submit button, I want a link like:[code]<a href="Test1">Test1</a>[/code]Is that possible in some way?Thanks.

calcop Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Why even use a form? You don't have any input objects within your form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 you would do like this:[code]echo "<a href='".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?test1=test1'>test1</a>";echo "<a href='".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?test2=test2'>test2</a>";[/code]but a more efficient way to do it would be to have one variable: test and then to do conditions based off the value of that one variable. for example:[code]if (!$_GET['test']) { for ($x=1;$x<6;$x++;) { echo "<a href='".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?test=".$x."'>".$x."</a><br>"; }} else { switch ($_GET['test']) { case 1,3,5: $type='odd'; break; case 2,4: $type='even'; break; default: $type='you didn't click on a link!'; break; }echo "test is: ".$type;}[/code]what that does is check to see if $_GET['test'] exists (that is, if you clicked on the link that would be blah.php?test=1 for instance). if it does not exist, then it prints 5 links. if you click on one of them, it will reload the page, except this time there will be a test variable being passed via the GET method, so it skips printing the links and goes to the ELSE. in the ELSE, here is an example of a condition based on the value. The switch statement assigns 'odd' to $type if the number is odd, 'even' if it is even, and by default, it assigns 'you didn't click on a link!' cuz there is always a possibility it is not 1-5 (like, if the user were to enter directly into the address bar blah.php?test=120 for instance). then it echos the results.
