[SOLVED] Using If statement to assign a variable with data

[Mike088]

Hey all I am trying to use an if statement thing to assign data to a variable. Using the if statement I want to grab data from another variable which is getting its data from a html select form. Basically I want to pull two different things from the select form that are related to the one thing if you get that lol. So my code is like this (simplified):

 

<select name="website">
<option value="100-01">Url1</option>
<option value="100-02">Url2</option>

<?php

$url = $_POST['website'];
$result = ""
if ($url==100-01) $result = headache;
else if ($url==100-02) $result = biggerheadache;

?>

 

I am getting an error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF

 

I am not to sure if I am writing the if statement correctly or if this is actually the easiest way to go about doing what I want to do, any help much appreciated

I'm too tired to look into it too much but I can tell you that the if statement is not constructed correctly.

 

It should be:

 

if (argument) {

 

//do something

 

} else {

 

//do something else

 

}

 

Hope that gives you something to do while you wait for a better response.
