My IF Statement - Small Code

[MoFish]

hello. im trying to simply go into the correct if statement when the button is clicked depending of the value of $PlayerNumber.

 

I keep getting the "error again oops" and dont know the reason behind it.

 

here is the code im using.

 

you can see the page layout here http://www.mofish.co.uk/site-image.JPG showing $PlayerNumber contains a value.

 

any ideas why this is doing this?

 

if (isset($_POST['DoReport'])){

	if($PlayerNumber == "4"){
		echo "4 players";
	} elseif($PlayerNumber == "5"){
		echo "5 players";
	} elseif($PlayerNumber == "6"){
		echo "6 players";
	} elseif($PlayerNumber == "7"){
		echo "7 players";
	}else {
		echo "error again... grr";
	}

} else {

echo '<div class="yellowheading">Can You Confirm That <b>' . $PlayerNumber . '</b> Players Played In This Event With A Buy In Of <b>' . $BuyInPrice . '</b> pounds</div>

<form action="" method="post" name="SubmitDetails">
	<div class="paddingdiv">1st : ' . $Player1Name . '</div>
	<div class="paddingdiv">2st : ' . $Player2Name . '</div>
	<div class="paddingdiv">3st : ' . $Player3Name . '</div>
	<div class="paddingdiv">4st : ' . $Player4Name . '</div>
	<div class="paddingdiv">5st : ' . $Player5Name . '</div>
	<div class="paddingdiv">6st : ' . $Player6Name . '</div>
	<div class="paddingdiv">7st : ' . $Player7Name . '</div>
	<div class="redheading"><b>Warning :</b> Clicking This Button Will Begin The Processing</div>
	<div class="paddingdiv"><input name="DoReport" type="submit" value="Confirm And Complete" /></div>
</form>';
}

extract($_POST);

if (isset($_POST['DoReport'])){

 

if($PlayerNumber == "4"){

echo "4 players";

} elseif($PlayerNumber == "5"){

echo "5 players";

} elseif($PlayerNumber == "6"){

echo "6 players";

} elseif($PlayerNumber == "7"){

echo "7 players";

}else {

echo "error again... grr";

}

 

} else {

 

<form action="" method="post" name="SubmitDetails">

           <input type="hidden" name="PlayerNumber" value="<?php echo $PlayerNumber; ?>"; <div class="paddingdiv">1st : ' . $Player1Name . '</div>

<div class="paddingdiv">2st : ' . $Player2Name . '</div>

<div class="paddingdiv">3st : ' . $Player3Name . '</div>

<div class="paddingdiv">4st : ' . $Player4Name . '</div>

<div class="paddingdiv">5st : ' . $Player5Name . '</div>

<div class="paddingdiv">6st : ' . $Player6Name . '</div>

<div class="paddingdiv">7st : ' . $Player7Name . '</div>

<div class="redheading"><b>Warning :</b> Clicking This Button Will Begin The Processing</div>

<div class="paddingdiv"><input name="DoReport" type="submit" value="Confirm And Complete" /></div>

</form>';

extract($_POST);

thats SO unsecure...

 

switch($_POST[PlayerNumber]){
case "4":
  echo "4 players";
break;
case "5":
  echo "5 players";
break;
case "6":
  echo "6 players";
break;
case "7":
  echo "7 players";
break;
default:
  echo "error again... grr";
break;
}

hiya again.

 

im having problems getting the values of declared variables at the top of my page within an if statement. I have the following declared at the top of my page which works and echo's my information fine.

 

name Boyd

overall buyin 5

overall minus 0

overall plus money 5

overall ballance 5

no 1st 0

no 2nd 1

percent 1st 0

percent 2nd 100

 

all these values are correct, so thats fine..

 

	$Player1OverallBuyin = $row_SelectPlayer1['OVERALLBUYIN'] + $BuyInPrice;
	$Player1OverallMinus = $row_Player1['MINUSMONEY'] - 0;
	$Player1PlusMoney = $row_SelectPlayer1['PLUSMONEY'] + $FirstPlaceWinnings;
	$Player1OverallMoney = $Player1OverallMinus + $Player1PlusMoney;
	$Player11st = $row_SelectPlayer1['1STPLACE'] + 1;
	$Player12nd = $row_SelectPlayer1['2NDPLACE'] + 0;
	$Player1GamesPlayed = $row_SelectPlayer1['GAMESPLAYED'] + 1;

 

however, inside my if statement once a button is clicked, I dont seem to have none of the values of these variables and they are all set to 0. why is this?

 

extract($_POST);
if (isset($_POST['DoReport'])){

if($PlayerNumber == "4"){
  
				echo "<div>name <b>" . $Player1Name . "</b></div>";
				echo "<div>overall buyin " . $Player1OverallBuyin . "</div>";
  				echo "<div>overall minus " . $Player1OverallMinus . "</div>";
  				echo "<div>overall plus money " . $Player1PlusMoney . "</div>";
  				echo "<div>overall ballance " . $Player1OverallMoney . "</div>";
  				echo "<div>no 1st " . $Player11st . "</div>";
  				echo "<div>no 2nd " . $Player12nd . "</div>";
  				echo "<div>percent 1st " . $Player1Percent1st . "</div>";
  				echo "<div>percent 2nd " . $Player1Percent2nd . "</div>";
} elseif($PlayerNumber == "5"){

 

this displays the following

 

name

overall buyin 0

overall minus 0

overall plus money 0

overall ballance 0

no 1st 1

no 2nd 0

percent 1st 100

percent 2nd 0

where are you defining these variables?

[MoFish]

at the top of the page outwith the if statement. here they are

 

$BuyInPrice = $_POST['BuyIn']; 
$PlayerNumber = $_POST['Players']; 

$Player1Name = $_POST['LstBox1']; 
$Player2Name = $_POST['LstBox2']; 
$Player3Name = $_POST['LstBox3']; 
$Player4Name = $_POST['LstBox4']; 
$Player5Name = $_POST['LstBox5']; 
$Player6Name = $_POST['LstBox6']; 
$Player7Name = $_POST['LstBox7']; 

$FirstPlaceWinnings = ($PlayerNumber * $BuyInPrice) - $BuyInPrice;
$SecondPlaceWinnings = $BuyInPrice;

			//player 1
$Player1OverallBuyin = $row_SelectPlayer1['OVERALLBUYIN'] + $BuyInPrice;
$Player1OverallMinus = $row_Player1['MINUSMONEY'] - 0;
$Player1PlusMoney = $row_SelectPlayer1['PLUSMONEY'] + $FirstPlaceWinnings;
$Player1OverallMoney = $Player1OverallMinus + $Player1PlusMoney;
$Player11st = $row_SelectPlayer1['1STPLACE'] + 1;
$Player12nd = $row_SelectPlayer1['2NDPLACE'] + 0;
$Player1GamesPlayed = $row_SelectPlayer1['GAMESPLAYED'] + 1;

I use these values further up the page aswell; so cant really move them. I dont understand why the values are there in the variables; and then cleared as soon as i click the submit button. its as if its ignoring them all together.
