can anybody help me!

Let the user select a language in a pull-down menu. After the user has selected a language and clicked a button, a message should appear with a “Welcome” greeting in that same language. Include at least four different language options.

We won't do your homework for you.

 

I you want help, show us your current code and tell us what exactly your problem is. And please choose proper thread titles. Nonsense like “I need help” doesn't tell us anything, because everybody who creates a thread obviously needs help.

<?php

 

 

// Read the selected language.

$language = ($_REQUEST['language']);

 

// make the language array.

$language=array(1=>'Malay','English','Chiness','India');

 

// make the language pull-down menu.

echo'<select name="language">';

foreach($language as $key =>$value) {

echo"<option value=\"$key\">$value</option>\n";

}

echo '</select>';

// Validate the gender.

if (isset($_REQUEST['language'])) {

$language = ($_REQUEST['language']);

 

if ($language == 'Malay') {

$message = '<P><b>Good day, Sir!</b></p>';

 

} else ($language == 'English') {

$message = '<P><b>Good day, Madam!</b></p>';

 

} else ($language == 'Chiness') {

$message = '<P><b>Good day, Madam!</b></p>';

 

} elseif ($language == 'India') {

$message = '<P><b>Good day, Madam!</b></p>';

 

} else { // Unacceptable value.

$message = NULL;

echo '<p><font color="red">You forgot to enter your name!</font></p>';

}

 

}else { //$_REQUEST['gender'] is not set.

$language = NULL;

echo '<p><font color="red">You forgot to enter your name!</font></p>';

}

 

?>

<form action="choose.php" method="post">

 

<br/>

<input type="submit" value="GO!"/>

 

 

</form>

 

</body>

</html>

You still haven't told us your problem, but the two “else” after the “if” must be “elseif”, and the select element must be within the form, and you need to use $value as the option value, not $key (the key is the numeric array key: 1, 2, 3, 4).

[Barand]

It's a lot easier to use an array for the messages

 

form

<select name='language'>
    <option value='1'>English</option>
    <option value='2'>French</option>
    <option value='3'>German</option>
    <option value='4'>Klingon</option>
</select>

processing

<?php
$translations = array (
                    1 => 'Welcome',
                    2 => 'Bienvenue',
                    3 => 'Herzlich Willkommen',
                    4 => 'yI\'el'
                );
echo $translations[$_GET['language']];
?>
