Echoing If Function?

[Elven6]

A script I am using has If statements in the comments form to basically tell the form what to do. Currently the form works by opening in a pop up for those who want to read/write comments. I'm changing it so that the form displays on the same page, essentially removing the need for a pop up. I have,

 

if ($_GET['comment']) {
echo "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>
  function smiles(which) {
  document.form1.text1.value = document.form1.text1.value + which;
  }
</SCRIPT>
<form name='form1' method='post' action='comments.php?load=comments&view=add'>
<input type='hidden' name='aid' value='".$_GET['aid']."'>
<input type='hidden' name='name' value='".$_COOKIE[$pre."username"]."'>
<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\">
<tr><td><b>Name</b></td><td>".$_COOKIE[$pre."username"]."</td></tr>

 

As a snippet of some of the code. I want to know how I can make the If statement form appear on the page without removing,

 

if ($_GET['comment']) {

 

As it would break the script since 'comment' is needed for the form to proceed without errors. I've tried variations of echo on $_GET['comment'] but it didn't do anything.

 

Hope that made sense, any ideas?

Hi

 

Your basic form of an if statement checking to see if the GET variable 'comment' has a value, is correct, but this needs to go in the processing after the form is submitted, which you do not show.

 

From the code you have shown, you will only have 2 variables in $_GET. You will have $_GET['load'] which will have the value 'comments', and $_GET['view'] which will have the value 'add'.  You also show to hidden form variables 'aid' and 'name' which would be in $_POST after submit.

 

I would need to see more of the code to give you more specific help.

Hey,

 

Thanks for responding, sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
