php in the head section

[ianco]

Hi all

 

I have some javascript code in the head section of my page but i want it to have php variables, 2 from a form and the other which i create.

 

 

so far the code i have is

echo '<!--
window.location = "http://www.domain.org/folder/' . $_POST["jou"] . '/';

echo $arb;

echo '/' .  $_POST["num"] . '/index.sht"
//-->';

which is include in and include script.

 

The script reads $_POST["jou"] and $_POST["num"] but doesn't output $arb (which is created from num in the form)

 

What do i need to do to it so that $arb is output?

 

Thanks

Ian

What do you get when you var_dump( $arb) ?

There's no obvious reason why it shouldn't work. Syntax is all correct. The only thing that it could be is when you set the variable. Are you sure it's not $_POST['arb']? And when it's sent from the form, are you sure it's being transmitted properly?

The rest of the php in the page is

<!-- @[a-zA-Z0-9]{6} $arb =  $_POST["arb"];
<?php

$num =  $_POST["num"];
$jou =  $_POST["jou"];

if(preg_match("/^b[a-zA-Z0-9]{7}$/",$num)) {
global $arb;
$arb = "b9";		
} else {
global $arb;		
$arb = "c0";
}
?>
-->

 

var_dump doesnt do anything either (nothing that i want anyway) and nor does $_POST['arb']

 

Here is the form

<form action="http://iancoates.uuuq.com/development/newy.php" method="post">
Journal:  <input type="text" name="jou" /><br>
Number:   <input type="text" name="num" /><br>

<input type="submit" />
</form>

nothing unusual here

 

ANy other suggestions?

 

thanks

oops this code

<?php

$num =  $_POST["num"];
$jou =  $_POST["jou"];

if(preg_match("/^b[a-zA-Z0-9]{7}$/",$num)) {
global $arb;
$arb = "b9";
} else {

global $arb;
$arb = "c0";
}
?>
