[SOLVED] output error

[doucettej3]

im trying to make the program output the result from one of my functions and it leaves out the result in the output. so it says the sum of 1-x is blank. heres the code:

<?php
{
$action = $_POST['action'];
$even_max = $_POST['even_max'];
$odd_max = $_POST['odd_max'];
$variable1 = $_POST['variable1'];
$variable2 = $_POST['variable2'];


function sum_even($even_m)
{
  $count = 0;
  while($even_max > $count)
    {
    $count = $count + 2;
    $sum = $sum + $count;
   }
  return $sum;
}

function sum_odd($odd_m)
{
  $count = 1;
  while($odd_max > $count)
    {
    $count = $count + 2;
    $sum = $sum + $count;
   }
  return $sum;
}

function exponent($variable1, $variable2)
{ 
   $count = 0;
   while ($count < $variable2)
{
$count= $count + 1;
$answer = $variable1 * $variable1;
   }
  return $answer;
}

switch($action)
{
  case 'even':	
    
$even_max = $_POST['even_max'];
    $result = sum_even($even_m);
    echo "The sum of all the numbers between 1-$even_max is $result";
break;
}
}
?>

 

EDIT: Please use the code tags (

) when posting code

[Orio]

<?php

$result = sum_even($even_m);

//Should be:

$result = sum_even($even_max);

?>

 

 

Orio.
