jd307 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hi Jragon! I have loaded your code onto my own server and the form is using POST for me. As for the IF statement, I am not an expert but I have never come across your use of the <<<ENDHTML before so I did a quick 'Google' for it and from my understanding it is primarily a Perl thing rather than PHP. From what I have seen though, the correct usage of <<<ENDHTML would be as so: <?php echo <<<ENDHTML; .... your HTML code .... ENDHTML; ?> But this doesn't seem to work for me when I tried it. Instead though, if you remove the ENDHTML part's and encapsulate the HTML code within single quotes (') the if statement seems to run nicely (but don't forget to escape the single quotes that you have in the text or you'll get errors). ----------- On another note: It may be an idea to place the form code within an ELSE statement at the end of your script. I only say this because at the moment, if a user is logged in they will see the upload, albums and profile links as well as seeing a login form. Sticking it into an ELSE statement would show one or the other.
