web page maker- I get a blank page

music_fan01 · May 3, 2009

I am working on this web page maker and teaching myself php at the same time. I was wondering is someone could please help me fix my problem to get my php page up running. When I test it I get a blank page. I think it may be how I set up my for statement and code in my php file.

I think you need to turn on errors -

ini_set('display_errors', E_ALL);

Ken2k7 · May 3, 2009

Your for loop isn't complete.

for ($u=0; $u <7; $u++) {
      if ($url[$u] != "" and $label[$u] != "")
}

You forgot something after the if statement. Also, it's best if you say - if (!empty($url[$u]))

Lastly, and *MOST* importantly, learn HTML! You're closing tables you're not opening and calling <td> and <tr> when a table tag isn't opened.

Can you please tell me what I forgot after my if statement?

Can you please tell me what I forgot after my if statement?

Nope. I'm not psychic. I don't know what you want after that if statement. What are you trying to do with the for loop?

Also, in your HTML, you need to make the name="url" to be name="url[]". Same for label.

what he means is that you forgot a statement. if (this is true). . . . {do something!} otherwise, youre asking a question. . . and ignoring the answer, so why ask the question?

music_fan01 · May 3, 2009

Like this?

$url = $_POST["url"];

for ($u=0; $u <7; $u++) {
if ($url[$u] != "" and $label[$u] != ""){
{
$urls = true;
}
