[SOLVED] Forms and PHP

[a.beam.reach]

I am very 'green' with PHP!  I have a form on another html page and I want to add the user input ( $q =$_POST['q'] ) to the php code below in place of "VARIABLE HERE"  I would be grateful for any help on how to do this.

 

<?

// SET GALLERY OPTIONS HERE
// -----------------------
// Set Gallery options by editing this text:
$q =$_POST['q'];
$options .= '<simpleviewerGallery maxImageWidth="600" maxImageHeight="600" textColor="0xFFFFFF" frameColor="0x000000" frameWidth="2" stagePadding="40" thumbnailColumns="1" thumbnailRows="5" navPosition="left" title="" enableRightClickOpen="false" backgroundImagePath="" imagePath="http://www.mysite.com/VARIABLE HERE/images/">';

Here, this should do it:

 

<?php
$q = $_POST['q'];
$options .= '<simpleviewerGallery maxImageWidth="600" maxImageHeight="600" textColor="0xFFFFFF" frameColor="0x000000" frameWidth="2" stagePadding="40" thumbnailColumns="1" thumbnailRows="5" navPosition="left" title="" enableRightClickOpen="false" backgroundImagePath="" imagePath="http://www.mysite.com/' . $q . '/images/">';
?>

Thank you Glyde!!!

 

Wow that was fast. . . . I think you answered my question almost BEFORE I asked it.

 

I had it mostly correct at one time but neglected the period after the $q

 

I have already applied it and tested it. . . . works great!

 

Thank you

Well I'm glad I could be of assistance.  Feel free to ask any more questions you may have (though it'd be best to make a new post for them)
