Help with insert and viewing records php scripts

[black85]

Hi people,
I'm trying to insert record and select/view record respectively, but to no avail. addentry.php is supposed to allow me to enter information on a html form, but unfortunately no form is displayed on the browser. Also, the message 'entry added' should be displayed on the browser as well after values have been inserted into form fields.

Can anyone help unravel the problems with these scripts below:

Might I suggest that you try to focus on one problem at a time, and try to determine where the code it is failing. I don't mean to be harsh, but putting all the code on the forum is not very effective. One piece of advice, use single quite for pure html, as you will not have to escape the double quote in your markup at all.

@gewthen

Thanks for replying to my posting. I have made changes like you suggested by reducing my problems from 2 to 1. Can you help?

Try changing this:
if ($_POST[op] != "add") {
to:
if(!isset($_POST[op])){

and on this line:
} else if ($_POST[op] == "add") {
you need the if part, just leave it as:
}else{

[redarrow]

dont this look better dont know

if ( (isset($_POST['submit'])&&($_POST[op] != "add")) ) {
to:
if(!isset($_POST[op])){

and on this line:
} else if ($_POST[op] == "add") {
you need the if part, just leave it as:
}else{
