[SOLVED] Form help

[ianco]

I have tome tick boxes that show text when ticked but I want the text to display a number that I enter in the form. I can make the different text appear with the different tick box, but noting happenes where the <php echo $_POST["num"]; > is. It just appears as sometext "" some text.

 

Can any one suggest anything that might make the number appear?

Taa

 

<?PHP

$ch1 = ' ';

$ch2 = ' ';

$ch3 = ' ';

 

if (isset($_POST['Submit1'])) {

 

if (isset($_POST['ch1'])) {

$ch1 = $_POST['ch1'];

 

 

if ($ch1 = 'net')

{

 

$ch1 = 'Sometext"<php echo $_POST["num"]; >".pdf some text';

}

}

etc}

?>

---------

Output

<?PHP print $ch1; ?><br>

By tick box do you mean checkbox? radio button? other.... Also post the tick box code with the last bit, so we can try to gauge a better idea of what your talking about.

the checkbox code is

<Input type = 'Checkbox' Name ='ch1' value ="net"

<?PHP print $ch1; ?>

>

 

The number box is just a text box

Number: <br><input type="text" name="num" />

 

thanks

Just noticed something i didnt before..

 

This line:

 

$ch1 = 'Sometext"<php echo $_POST["num"]; >".pdf some text';

 

Could be the source of your problem. As your putting <?php ?> tags within an already open <?php ?> tag. The proper way to write that line would be..

 

$ch1 = "Sometext" . $_POST['num'] . ".pdf some text";

 

try replacing your line with this one and tell me if that changes anything.

Wow, thanks Monkeytooth

 

I had to modify it to

 

$ch1 = 'Sometext' . $_POST['num'] . '.pdf some text';

 

Cheers
