Basic Syntax Errors

Davecachia · August 14, 2008

Hey all.

My first time coding in PHP and I have some basic syntax errors.

If you could have a look at:

http://www.dcncs.net/survey.html

which forwards the information to

http://www.dcncs.net/survey.php

Also -

My if someone could take a look at the IF statement near the bottom of the survey php file that would be great.

Internal Error 500 now when I test it :S

Help please!

Where is the code?

Where is the code?

The first part where I am just forwarding the info from the HTML form was just a learning experience.. I can probably get rid of that later. I need to read in the data from my HTML form --> Send to PHP file to be validated. If Validated, given a score.

Once score is determined.. Store the information in a database, then analyze for the user to see where they lost points.

Right now I am at the validation stage. I need to read the values into variables.

Well this is wrong

<body>
<?php>
echo Impact of Training Form:
?>

it should be

<body>
<?php>
echo 'Impact of Training Form:';
?>

All strings must be within quotes.

Davecachia · August 14, 2008

<body>
<?php>

OK. What about the first block of code where I am POSTing values. Do they all need ' ; ' at the end of each line?

The Little Guy · August 14, 2008

and change this:

<?php>

to this:

<?php

wildteen88 · August 14, 2008

No, you dont wrap quotes around variables, only strings. You do know what a string is? I suggest you read the basics of PHP before you continue. Without the basics you're not going to get very far.

Davecachia · August 14, 2008

and change this:

<?php>

to this:

<?php

Thank you!

Should I use put

<?php

?>

Only once in the page? Or Should I use it multiple times for different blocks?

@Wildteen

I am familiar with C++ and VB.NET.

First time doing web scripts.

I know what strings are just unfamiliar with the language.

Is companyName a variable? If so variables should always start with a dollar sign, eg

echo $CompanyName;

Again I urge you to read the basics. Getting to know the basics will help you much more than having to keep asking us.

Yes that is a variable name. I am testing to see if the IF statement has stored the variable.

I learn much better this way, i've gone through the W3Schools stuff but making mistakes and learning from them helps me the most I think.
