if/then/else?

[rnewman]

Trying to make new web page when user ticks off a one choice of 6 options

then page adds picture of choice to a master display (of pictures) of all choices (and scales down as list gets bigger)

also a text list of options already selected is also displayed.

I don't think I need a data base because I only have 6 choices but some show up in list more than one time.

I think I can do it with if/then/else but not sure.

 

I like php and can get what I need for simple examples.

 

Thanks,

Ray

<?php
if ($x == 1) {
   echo 'here';
}elseif ($x == 2) {
   echo 'there';
}// ... etc
?>

 

<?php

switch ($x) {
    case '1':
         echo 'here';
    break;
    case '2':
         echo 'there';
    break;
}
?>

I found this:

 

<?php

$theuri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

if ( ($theuri =="/") or ($theuri =="/index.php") )

{

$itemis = "<img src=\"images/arrow.gif\" alt=\"arrow \">

<span class=\"note\"> Screen Text Here </span>";

} else {

$itemis = "<a href=\"www.yourdomain.com/index.php\">Screen Text Here </a>";

}

echo $itemis;

?>

 

which seems more useful to me but I forgot how to do selection and regenerate page.

Thanks,

It seems like I need to do frames?

Top half of page is something like a checkout page

and lower half is a form for selection that updates upper half of page?

Thanks,

I may have missed the point, but if you are just using static data(ie, you wont be retrieving any data from a database after the selection of a checkbox) then you might as well just use javascript to do this. If you will be quering the database based on a selection and want to change a part of your page based on the result, use AJAX.

I have used Java before but worry that IE will not process the right way.
