[chizley]

Hey im just making this thing that receives from html, here's my code:

 

<?php 

$noa = $_POST['noa']; 
$idea = $_POST['idea'];

if($noa = Description){
$handle = fopen("descriptions.html", "a");
fwrite($handle, "<tr><td>
if(desc == ){<br />
_root.descr = (".$idea.");<br />
}</td></tr>");
fclose($handle);
$URL="http://h1.ripway.com/chizley1/ideamaker.html";
header ("Location: $URL");
}

if($noa = Name){
$handle2 = fopen("names.html", "a");
fwrite($handle2, "<tr><td>
if (name == ){<br />
_root.nam = (".$idea.");<br />
}</td></tr>");
fclose($handle2);
$URL="http://h1.ripway.com/chizley1/ideamaker.html";
header ("Location: $URL");
}
else{
$URL="http://h1.ripway.com/chizley1/error.html";
header ("Location: $URL");
}
?>

 

And bassicly, its sending it to both the html's (Description and Name),

 

Fast help please.

Use == on your expressions and not a single equal singe.

 

== means comparison

= means asignment

 

if($noa = Description){

should be

if($noa == 'Description'){

Thanks, but still does'nt work, now it just goes to my error page...

 

Edit:

Oh, and FYI, the $noa is defined by the drop down menu on, http://h1.ripway.com/chizley1/ideamaker.html.

if($noa == Name){
$handle2 = fopen("names.html", "a");

 

wat is Name...it doesnt luk like a variable nor a string constant?

I just added above:

 

Oh, and FYI, the $noa is defined by the drop down menu on, http://h1.ripway.com/chizley1/ideamaker.html.

 

So im pretty sure that's a string. sorry im not to famillier with the common terms.

checked out ur site.the select box-'noa' returns either 'noun' or 'adjective'.so ur code actually shud b:

if($noa == 'adjective'){

 

and

if($noa == 'noun'){
