[SOLVED] switch statement

[anatak]

Is it possible for a switch statement to check against the value of a variable ?

Here is what I would like to do:

[code]

$case01 = button_caption(1);
$case02 = button_caption(2);
switch ($_REQUEST['submit'])
{
     case '$case01 ' :
         code for case01;
         break;

     case '$case02 ' :
         code for case02;
         break;
}

[/code]
is this possible ?
I keep running into errors because of the single quotes.

thanks

Yes its possible and you answered your own question. Use double quotes.

[trq]

[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]Use double quotes.[/quote]
Variables dont need to be within quotes.
[code]
$case01 = button_caption(1);
$case02 = button_caption(2);
switch ($_REQUEST['submit'])
{
     case $case01:
         code for case01;
         break;

     case $case02:
         code for case02;
         break;
}
[/code]

It works indeed as you said.
I could have sworn that I tried what you told me but apparantly not

Now I have another problem with IE
In Mozilla this works without problems

[code]
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.write('<form name="form1" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "?page=register"?>">');
-->
</script>
<TABLE width ="100%">
<TR>
<td>SOME FIELDS TO GET DATA</td>
</tr>

<TR>
<TD colspan ="2">
<BUTTON name="submit" value="<?php echo $button=button_caption(5); ?>" type="submit"><?php echo $button=button_caption(5); ?></BUTTON>    
<BUTTON name="submit" value="<?php echo $button=button_caption(6); ?>" type="submit"><?php echo $button=button_caption(6); ?></BUTTON>    
<BUTTON name="clear" value="<?php echo $button=button_caption(2); ?>" type="reset"><?php echo $button=button_caption(2); ?></BUTTON>
</TD>
</TR>
[/code]

but in IE the browser does not detect what button is pushed.
It always thinks that the last "submit" button is pushed

so in the page that receives the data it always thinks it has to run the button_caption(6) (review)script
[code]
<?php
//echo 'webpage = register<BR>';
if(!isset($_REQUEST['submit'])){
    include("home/home.inc");
//    echo "home";
}else{
    echo "submit " . $_REQUEST['submit']."</br>";//this is always review
[/code]

any idea how you can use more than one submit button in a form with IE and using button ?
Or am I condemned to use input type instead ?

thank you so much

you gave both your buttons the same name.

[anatak]

yes but if I use a $_REQUEST['submit'] the button has to be called submit I thought ?
or would this code work ?
[code]
<TR>
<TD colspan ="2">
<BUTTON name="submit" value="<?php echo $button=button_caption(5); ?>" type="submit"><?php echo $button=button_caption(5); ?></BUTTON>    
<BUTTON name="submit" value="<?php echo $button=button_caption(6); ?>" type="submit"><?php echo $button=button_caption(6); ?></BUTTON>    
<BUTTON name="clear" value="<?php echo $button=button_caption(2); ?>" type="reset"><?php echo $button=button_caption(2); ?></BUTTON>
</TD>
</TR>
[/code]

and receiving the value like this

[code]
$case01 = button_caption(1);
$case02 = button_caption(2);
switch ($_REQUEST['submit'])
{
     case $case01:
         code for case01;
         break;

     case $case02:
         code for case02;
         break;
}
[/code]
