What is wrong with this code?

[jwilh]

I switched over to yahoo hosting and alot of the php I was using elsewhere now no longer works, if someone could take a look and tell me any problems they see that would be nice!
[code]<?php
echo date("4 November 2006");
echo "<br>";
  $d=date("D");
  if ($d=="Fri")
echo "Have a nice weekend!";
    else
echo "Have a nice day!";
echo "<BR>";
?>

<p style="color:White">
<div ALIGN=CENTER><h3><?php
if (isset($_POST['name'])) echo "
Welcome <B>$_POST[name] !</B>\n";
?></p></div></h3>[/code]

Your Problem lies in...

if (isset($_POST['name'])) echo "
Welcome <B>$_POST[name] !</B>\n";

change that to

[code]
if (isset($_POST['name'])){
echo "
Welcome <B>$_POST[name] !</B>\n";
};
[/code]


You are missing the { } that surround the echo!

[jwilh]

that didnt work

[Zane]

you don't need brackets when you only have one statement after your IF

if ($blah)
  echo "yep";
else
  echo "nope";


jwilh, are you getting any errors whatsoever
if not put this line at the top of your script
error_reporting(E_ALL);

and if it's not errors you get
What not working the way you want it to

and the first and only thing I see wrong with your code so far is this
echo date("4 November 2006");

it should be
echo date("d M Y", strtotime("4 November 2006"));

which is pointless cuz you might as well just say
echo "4 November 2006";

[jwilh]

no errors and as for the format it was the new php designer that entered that in as is.

[jwilh]

As for what it is doing is just echoing part of the code out to the screen. This is just for testing purposes as is but if u want to see for yourself the check out http://www.sic-site.com/php/Ip.htm

[Zane]

rename your filename to
Ip.php

instead of
Ip.htm

Most of the time people don't let the HTML and HTM extension parse PHP
but apparently you're old hosting company allowed you to do that which..is possible

[jwilh]

Your a frikkin GENIOUS lmao. That worked

[jwilh]

Now anyone have any idea why the color of the name isnt white, it is writtin the same as all the other code.

[Zane]

<p style="color: White;"></p><h3>
Welcome <b>zane !</b>

</h3></div>

Welcome <b>zane ! is not within your Styled P tag
that's why
