here are the errors

 

1.  Use of undefined constant submit.  assumed 'submit'

2.  Use of undefined constant Show_success

 

ok guess those are the only two how do i define them so they will do what i needd them too.  I need this form to post to a database.  SHould i take out the Php_self part also that is higlighted in green

 

 

and does anyone have any other suggestions how to get this to actually work. 

[per1os]

$_POST['submit']

 

Add quotes to array indexes or else they are considered constants.

also use heredoc i am sure this code was posted before and wildteen helped sure of it?

also use heredoc i am sure this code was posted before and wildteen helped sure of it?

 

it was posted with different errors and it was never solved.  And i have no clue what heredoc is i am a noob

[simcoweb]

Basically heredoc replaces the need to use the $display variable name on all those lines. You do it like:

 

$display = <<<EOF

all the code for display goes here

EOF;
