[SOLVED] Newbie ? - Showing Only Specific Fields In Form

[j.g.]

Hello List!

 

I'm very new to php and am working on a form that is used by multiple pages of the same sight; however, for one of our pages, I don't want two of the fields to display if the user selects it.

 

So, if the id=2, then don't show these two fields (or if id != 2, show them, as I'm actually coding it)...

 

What I've tried to do is put an 'if' statement around my two <tr>'s for the two rows I do not want displayed (if the id does not = 2, then show them...):

 

  <h2>

      <?= htmlentities($current->getTitle(), ENT_QUOTES); ?>

    </h2>

    <form action='<?= $PHP_SELF; ?>' method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data'>

    <input type='hidden' name='id' value='<?= $current->getId(); ?>' />

    <input type='hidden' name='parent' value='<?= htmlentities($parent_id, ENT_QUOTES); ?>' />

      <table border="0" class='thin_table'>

        <tr>

          <td class='normal' valign='top'>

            Award

          </td>

          <td class='normal' valign='top'>

            <input type='text' maxlength='200' name='title' size='60' value='<?= htmlentities($current->getTitle(), ENT_QUOTES); ?>' title='Title'>

          </td>

        </tr>

        <tr>

          <td class='normal' valign='top'>

            Description

          </td>

          <td class='normal' valign='top'>

          <textarea name='data' rows='8' cols='60' title='News'><?= htmlentities($current->getData(), ENT_QUOTES); ?></textarea>

          </td>

        </tr> 

       

        <?

        if ($current->getId() != 2)

        {

           

        <tr>

          <td class='normal' valign='top'>

            Sort Order

          </td>

          <td class='normal' valign='top'>

            <?= simple_sort_order_select('sortorder', $current->getSortOrder(), 25); >

          </td>

        </tr>

        <tr>

          <td class='normal' valign='top'>

            Visible

          </td>

          <td class='normal' valign='top'>

            <?= true_false_checkbox('visible', ($current->getVisible() == 1)); >

          </td>

        </tr>

        }

        ?>

       

        <tr>

          <td class='normal' valign='top' align='center' colspan='2'>

          <input type='button' value='Return To Listing' onClick="window.location='/admin/awards.php';">

            <input type='submit' name='save' value='Save'>

          </td>

        </tr>

      </table>

    </form>

 

 

But, when I do this and click on the link to this page, I'm getting a Parse error: "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /award_edit.php on line 82" -- Line 82 is the first line after my opening bracket after the if statement, so the bolded <tr> above...

 

Any thoughts or ideas on how I can go about fixing this would be greatly appreciated!

<?php
        if ($current->getId() != 2)
        {
?>             
        <tr>
          <td class='normal' valign='top'>
            Sort Order
          </td>
          <td class='normal' valign='top'>
            <?php= simple_sort_order_select('sortorder', $current->getSortOrder(), 25); ?>
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td class='normal' valign='top'>
            Visible
          </td>
          <td class='normal' valign='top'>
            <?php= true_false_checkbox('visible', ($current->getVisible() == 1)); ?>
          </td>
        </tr>
<?php
        }
?>

 

PS: If you use the proper <?php tags and place your code within [ code] [/ code] tags when posting you'll get syntx highlighting... much easier to read.

Thank you VERY much for the reply and the help!!

 

That did it - just had to spread out my php tags... 

 

 

And, I apologize for the formatting of my posting...I realized I forgot to use the code tags after I had posted.

 

Thanks again!
