if ($step == "sell") 
{
switch($seller)
{
	case "drugs":
		if ($stat['drugs'] < $amount) {
			print "Sorry mate, you don't have the drugs.";
		} else {
			mysql_query("update players set drugs=(drugs-$amount) where id=".$stat[id]);
			mysql_query("update players set credits=($amount*".$stat['drugprice'].") where id=".$stat['id']);
			print "You sold $amount of drugs."; 
		}
	break;
	case "SteakHouse":
		if ($stat[credits] < 60000) {
			print "Sorry mate, you don't have the cash.";
		} else {
			mysql_query("update players set steakhouse=steakhouse+1 where id=$stat[id]");
			mysql_query("update players set credits=credits-60000 where id=$stat[id]");
			mysql_query("update players set employees=employees+10 where id=$stat[id]");
			print "Steak Building added."; 
		}
	break;
}
}
?>

Your not using your variables properly...

 

Since the form is set up as type post, you should be accessing the $_POST variable to get your information.

 

$seller should become => $_POST['seller']

$step should become => $_POST['step']

 

etc...

 

Try flipping your variable names around first and see if your still having problems.

<?php
print "<form method=post action=cmarket.php?view=sell&step=sell>Sell <input name=amount><select name=seller><option value=drugs>Drugs</option></select>. <input type=submit value=Sell></form>";
if ($_POST['step'] == "sell") 
{
switch($_POST['seller'])
{
	case "drugs":
		if ($stat['drugs'] < $amount) {
			print "Sorry mate, you don't have the drugs.";
		} else {
			mysql_query("update players set drugs=(drugs-$amount) where id=".$stat[id]);
			mysql_query("update players set credits=($amount*".$stat['drugprice'].") where id=".$stat['id']);
			print "You sold $amount of drugs."; 
		}

something like:

<?php
print "<form method=post action=cmarket.php?view=sell&step=sell>Sell <input name=amount><select name=seller><option value=drugs>Drugs</option></select>. <input type=submit value=Sell></form>";
if (isset($_POST)){
switch($_POST['seller'])
{
	case $_POST['seller']:
		if ($stat['drugs'] < $amount) {
			print "Sorry mate, you don't have the drugs.";
		} else {
			mysql_query("update players set drugs=(drugs-$amount) where id=".$stat[id]);
			mysql_query("update players set credits=($amount*".$stat['drugprice'].") where id=".$stat['id']);
			print "You sold $amount of drugs."; 
		}
                        break;
        }
}
?>

give a little more information on what you are trying to do. my code simply shows that you don't have to have a hundred cases for your switch statment. you can alternatively have the switch case change dynamically, as will the functions executed for each case.

 

 

what is $stat and where is it coming from?

[grlayouts]

sorry.. $stat was from the header that got * from players, fixed it but thank you very much.
