With over 5000 posts, I would have thought you'd have realised that we need a touch more than 'not working' to help diagnose a problem.

[redarrow]

code all works except the first swich condition that it........

 

<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

$new_doc=trim($_POST['new_doc']);

$file_name=strtolower(strtoupper(trim($_POST['file_name'])));

$cheek=$_POST['cheek'];

$error=$_POST['error'];

if( empty($new_doc) && empty($file_name) ){

     $error='FALSE';
}

$cheek=substr($file_name,-4);

if($cheek !='.doc')	{


$error='FALSE2';

}

$x=glob("*.*");

if(in_array($file_name,$x)){

$error='FALSE3';
}

if(!$error){

$fh=@fopen($file_name, 'w+');

@fwrite($fh, $new_doc);

@fclose($fh);


echo "<center>THANK YOU FILE CREATED AS A WORD DOCUMENT!</center>";
}
}

switch($error){


CASE "FALSE":

echo "<center>PLEASE TRY AGIN THERE WAS A PROBLAM! 
<br><br>
Make sure you fill in all the form. 
<br><br> 
</center>";

BREAK;


CASE "FALSE2":

echo "<center>PLEASE TRY AGIN THERE WAS A PROBLAM! 
<br><br> 
Make sure the name of the file is a .doc. 
<br><br> 
</center>";

BREAK;

CASE "FALSE3":

echo "<center>PLEASE TRY AGIN THERE WAS A PROBLAM! 
<br><br> 
Sorry we have that file name!.

Yeah okay we get it, the switch isn't working.  But again:

 

With over 5000 posts, I would have thought you'd have realised that we need a touch more than 'not working' to help diagnose a problem.

 

[redarrow]

yes i agree i am sorry.......

[.josh]

LoL how about instead of agreeing and saying your sorry you actually tell us what the problem is? Is it not working because none of the cases are being triggered (nothing being echoed from any of them)?  Is it not working because the wrong one is being triggered?  Some kind of syntax error? Any error messages being displayed at all?  Come on man...

[kenrbnsn]

I think your problem may be that you have an extra "}" before the switch statement. If you would indent properly, things like this can be avoided.

 

I took the liberty of re-writing your code to get rid of the switch statement. My code uses arrays to hold the error messages and implode() to output them.

 

<?php
$err_msgs = array('Make sure you fill in all the form.','Make sure the name of the file is a .doc.','Sorry we have that file name!.');
$error = array();
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$new_doc=trim($_POST['new_doc']);
$file_name=strtolower(strtoupper(trim($_POST['file_name'])));
$cheek=$_POST['cheek'];
$error=$_POST['error'];
if( empty($new_doc) && empty($file_name) ){
     $error[] = $err_msgs[0];
}
$cheek=substr($file_name,-4);
if($cheek !='.doc')	{
	$error[] = $err_msgs[1];
}
$x=glob("*.*");
if(in_array($file_name,$x)){
	$error[] = $err_msgs[2];
}
if(empty($error)){
	$fh=fopen($file_name, 'w+');
	fwrite($fh, $new_doc);
	fclose($fh);
	echo "<center>THANK YOU FILE CREATED AS A WORD DOCUMENT!</center>";
} else {
	$tmp = array();
	$tmp[] = '<span style="text-align:center">Please try again, there was a problem:<br><br>';
	$tmp[] = implode("<br>\n",$error) . '<br><br></span>';
	echo implode("\n",$tmp);
}
}
?>

Nice work, But your code dosent order the errors correctly aswell,

 

if you post the form with no values brings the error message of

two arrays,

 

error[0] and error[1]

 

but only error[0] should be shown when there no values in the form..

 

i got the same problam with my oregianal code useing a switch.....

 

any idears.....
