Hello, I have a voting script I knocked up. And in poll.php4 there are the 6 options of what the user can choose. These options are defined in $option# = "Choice number #"; # Being replaced with a number from 1 to 6. In results.php4 which shows the graph of how many votes each option has taken, I want the $option# to appear above the graphic bar. This is what I have: ---------- function readvar() { $openvar = fopen("poll.php4","r"); $getvars = fgets($openvar,400000); global $op1, $op2, $op3, $op4, $op5, $op6; $op1 = $getvars["$option1"]; $op2 = $option2; $op3 = $option3; $op4 = $option4; $op5 = $option5; $op6 = $option6; fclose($openvar); } readvar(); print $op1; --------- $op1 is my testing variable, once I get that to work I'd do the same for the others... now on the page, $op1 just shows up as: < instead of: Choice number 1 How can I get it to display "Choice number 1" ? I've tried putting the fclose above the global statement, and a bunch of other things but Im doing something wrong.. Hope i explained it well enough, thanks!
