Barand Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 you don't want the the : after case: and you dont need those internal {..}s switch ($_GET['page']) { case 'home': echo "<center><h1>Home Page</h1></center>"; break; case 'Language': echo "<center><h1>LanguagePage</h1></center>"; break; } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/295412-case-and-break/#findComment-1508694 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ch0cu3r Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 You need to wrap your links in a condition to only display if no page has been specified if(!isset($_GET['page'])) { // output links } // your switch/case statement here Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/295412-case-and-break/#findComment-1508702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom10 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Here is an example i found, but i don't understand why he has put ?> closing tags if(isset($_GET['page']) && !empty($_GET['page'])) { switch($_GET['page']) { case 'home': { ?> <CENTER> <H1> <U> Home </U> </H1> This is a sitemap of all the links and pages for this file, from here you can navigate to other pages. <H3> <U> Sitemap </U> </H3> <A HREF="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(htmlspecialchars($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) . '?page=home' ?>"> Home </A> <BR /> <A HREF="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(htmlspecialchars($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) . '?page=challenge' ?>"> Challenge </A> <BR /> <A HREF="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(htmlspecialchars($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) . '?page=languages' ?>"> Languages </A> <BR /> <A HREF="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(htmlspecialchars($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) . '?page=passwords' ?>"> Passwords </A> <BR /> <?php } break; case 'challenge': { ?> <CENTER> <H1> <U> The Challenge </U> </H1> Somewhere in this script is a vulnerability I have hidden! A key has been hidden somewhere which will lead on to the next part of the Challenge. <BR /> <BR /> <H3> <U> Files on this server </U> </H3> Below is a list of files in this directory so you can complete the challenge.

cyberRobot Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file Have you tried using the full PHP open tag? Try changing this "<?" to "<?php" in the various locations. Note that more information about the PHP tags can be found here: http://php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.phptags.php Also, are you planning to build an entire website using a single PHP script...or are you just experimenting with switch?
