Mchl Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Regarding this: echo "One day while I was $_POST["verb1"] in the $_POST["room1"] a $_POST[adjective] $_POST["noun1"] fell through the roof. It immediately jumped on the $_POST["furniture1"] and knocked over the $_POST["noun2"].

After $_POST["number1"] minutes of chasing the $_POST["noun1"] through the house I finally caught it and put it outside. It quickly climbed the nearest $_POST["noun4"]."; you need to put array values in {} echo "One day while I was {$_POST["verb1"]} in the {$_POST["room1"]} a {$_POST[adjective]} {$_POST["noun1"]} ...

Bismark12 Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Thanks MCHL ,I tried with your suggestion ,I still have the parameters missing in the outcome. Look at this : <?php print "One day while I was {$_POST["verb1"]} in the {$_POST["room1"]} a {$_POST["adjective1"]} {$_POST["noun1"]} fell through the roof. It immediately jumped on the {$_POST["furniture1"]} and knocked over the {$_POST["noun2"]}. Then it ran out the door into the {$_POST["room2"]} and {$_POST["verb2"]} a {$_POST["noun3"]} off the {$_POST["furniture2"]}. It then knocked a glass of {$_POST["liquid1"]} off the coffee table. After {$_POST["number1"]} minutes of chasing the {$_POST["noun1"]} through the house I finally caught it and put it outside. It quickly climbed the nearest {$_POST["noun4"]}."; ?> The browser output is: One day while I was in the a fell through the roof. It immediately jumped on the and knocked over the . Then it ran out the door into the and a off the . It then knocked a glass of off the coffee table. After minutes of chasing the through the house I finally caught it and put it outside. It quickly climbed the nearest . Any idea why? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/156073-creation-of-interactive-story/#findComment-822918 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaF Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 what data are you typing in the text inputs when you fill out the form? I don't see anything wrong with your code (now that you've included the curly braces). Try echoing the form values by themselves first on solution_a_php.php to see if the problem is the values themselves (e.g. does $_POST['verb1'] print nothing by itself?) or if the problem is the string you're injecting them into. (e.g. echo $_POST['verb1'] produces the correct value, but echo "One day while I was {$_POST["verb1"]}" does not). That should help narrow the problem down.
