[SOLVED] can't get the elseif statement to work for me

[suttercain]

Hi guys,

 

I am running the following code:

<?php
//voting system
		  
		  if ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == '6' || 
		  	  $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == '9' && 
			  !isset($_POST['submit'])) { 
			  
		  voteNow();
		  } 
		  elseif (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
				  echo "Thank you for voting!";
		  } else {
		  		  echo "Please Login to vote"; }
		  
		  
		  function voteNow() {
		  ?>
		  	<form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="post">
			     <select>
				 	<option>5</option>
					<option>4</option>
					<option>3</option>
					<option>2</option>
					<option>1</option>
				</select>
		  		<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Vote">
				</form>
		  <?php } ?>

 

I have a small form. If the submit button has not been pressed, it echos the form.

 

I can't get it to not echo the form if the submit button has been pressed though...

 

Do I have it set up wrong?

 

Thanks

So u dont want to echo the form after submission.

 

Am i right.

[suttercain]

You are correct.

[mmarif4u]

Simple redirect the page after submit to a page like success.php or thankyou.php

by using header:

 

header('Location:thankyou.php');

[suttercain]

I don't want a redirect though. This is a self procsessing form... they need to remain on the same page.

 

<form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="post">

 

 

[mmarif4u]

U r using

action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>"

it mean that it process the from in sam page,

Then how it possible that without redirect u will not see the same page.

 

Bcoz when u submit the form, code process on the same page then difenetly it

will show u the page agian.

 

For this issue just redirect the whole page then give the back button using js or something

To come back to prev page.

I have done it this way numerous times. That is why you use the if statement and the else statement.

Got it working, here is how I did it in case this helps someone else in the future:

 

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == '1' || 
		  	  $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == '9') {
			  if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) { 
			  	voteNow();
		  		} else {
		  		voted ();
		  		}
			} else {
			echo "Login to Vote";
				}
		  
		  
		  function voteNow() {
		  ?>
		  	<form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="post">
			     <select>
				 	<option>5</option>
					<option>4</option>
					<option>3</option>
					<option>2</option>
					<option>1</option>
				</select>
		  		<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Vote">
				</form>
		  <?php } 
		  
		  function voted() {
		  echo "Thank you for voting!"; }
		  ?>

 

Processes the form without leaving the page and based on the if statement echoes the desired statement or function.

 

Peace
