Switch Pulling Wrong Page

[Q695]

Why are the words causing the switch to die

switch ($page) {
case "1":
include 'explore.php';
break;
case "see":
include 'see.php';
break;
case "kill":
include 'kill.php';
break;
case "2":
include 'inventory.php';
break;
case "3":
include 'guilds.php';
break;
default:
echo "entry";
}

Your question makes no sense.

The only advice I can offer is make sure error reporting is on and try using require_once instead.

I recommend that you read this article.

I tried setting it at the beginning of the applet, and it didn't work.

 

Here is the error statement

Notice: Undefined index: variable

[Jessica]

That error has nothing to do with the code posted. Post the entire error including line number, and the code that is around that line number.

 

Applet? Really? :eyeroll:

I tried removing the 2 text cases it worked fine, but when I rewrite them I get the error in the switch statement

[Q695]

<?php
/* this defaulting to see.php
*/
if (isset($_GET["action"])){
$action = $_GET["action"];
echo "act" . $action;
} else {
$action=0;
}
switch ($action) {
case "see":
include 'see.php';
break;
case "kill":
include 'kill.php';
break;
default:
include 'explore_main.php';
}
?>

[Q695]

the var string is "?page=1", and it goes to see.php

[Q695]

Took a while but solved it somehow by setting a negative case value outside of the data bounds:

<?php
if (isset($_GET["action"])){
$action = $_GET["action"];
echo "act" . $action;
} else {
$action=-10;
}
switch ($action) {
case "see":
include 'see.php';
break;
case "kill":
include 'kill.php';
break;
default:
include 'explore_main.php';
break;
}
?>

[Christian F.]

You're using "page" in the URL, but you're asking for $_GET['action']. That's your real problem.

The fact that it defaulted to "see.php" is because 0 == 'see', due to the way type auto casting works.

Christian is right.

 

You're also using a lot of buzzwords that make no sense. PHP scripts are not applets. There's no such thing as a "data bounds." And you need to read up on how PHP handles comparisons between data types
