skateme Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I downloaded my PHP from entropy.ch and i don't think that the switch statement works. this is my code: <html><head><title>Switch Statements</title></head> <body> Select action: <form action="switch.php?action=edit" method="post"> <input type="submit" name="edit" value="Edit" /><br> </form> <form action="switch.php?action=delete" method="post"> <input type="submit" name="delete" value="Delete" /><br> </form> <form action="switch.php?action=change" method="post"> <input type="submit" name="change" value="Change" /><br> </form> <?php switch($_GET['action']) { case "edit": print "Add edit function"; break; case "delete": print "Add delete function"; break; case "change": print "Add change function"; break; default: print "Please select a button"; break; } ?> </body></html> and when i load the page, all i get is a blank screen. sorry if this is the wrong section and thanks in advance!

marcus Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Why not use a dropdown? Lol. It looks fine to me. $array = array('edit','delete','change'); if(!$_GET['action'] || !in_array($_GET['action'],$array)){ echo "<form name=\"switch\" method=\"get\" action=\"switch.php\">\n"; echo "Option: <select name=\"action\">\n"; foreach($array AS $options){ echo "<option value=\"$options\">".ucfirst($options)."</option>\n"; } echo "</select> <input type=\"submit\" value=\"Switch Away Captain\"></form>\n"; }else { switch($_GET['action']){ case edit: echo "omfg edit"; break; case delete: echo "omfg delete"; break; case change: echo "omfg change"; break; default: echo "omfg wtf"; } } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
