Orphy Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 [code]<HEAD><TITLE>Test page</TITLE></HEAD><BODY><FORM METHOD="get" ACTION="graphtest.html"><INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=choice VALUE=request>Type stock symbol(like: bby) <INPUT TYPE="text" SIZE="20" NAME="search" VALUE=""><INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Search!"></FORM><?phpif ($choice == request){echo "<img src= "http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/z?s=""$search""&t=1y&q=c&l=on&z=m&a=v&p=s/>""};?></BODY></HTML>[/code]Please look at the echo feature, I do not know how to use the proper syntax . Basically I want a user to submit a symbol and I will give out the graph and that graph is in [a href=\"http://ichart.finance..\" target=\"_blank\"]http://ichart.finance..[/a]. url. The $search would be the input. So basically if someone typed BBY in the box, the output will give the graph of bby.Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swatisonee Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 How can it be hidden and inputted in the same form ? if its hidden then it has obviously come in from an earlier page .Also,[code]<INPUT TYPE="text" SIZE="20" NAME="search" VALUE="">should be <INPUT TYPE="text" SIZE="20" NAME="search" >[/code]HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orphy Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 Hey gast, thank you very much for taking the time out to reply, Yes the code looks cleaner now. But I am still getting an error. Basically the error is in the whole php codes I think. Thats what I see in dreamweaver.Is the code logical?Basically what am I trying to do is, take the user's input and stick in the $search of yahoo url.
