Re: Trouble with switch statements

Use $_GET["select"] for the switch statement Some of the people on this list would even recommend you make another variable first, such as $userselect = $_GET["select"] and use $userselect as your switch statement, though I think it pointless. Or turn register_globals on in the php.ini file (not recommended) -Samuel | http://enetwizard.net -----Original Message----- From: Edward Kehoe [mailto:emkehoe@learn.senecac.on.ca] Sent: Friday, October 25, 2002 1:47 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Trouble with switch statements Ok...I just recently installed Apache1 and PHP 4.2.3 on my computer and I've configured everything. However, I can't seem to get my switch statements to accept variable values from the address bar. So if I type in: http://www.my-site.com/index.php?select=1 It displays the text in the default part of the switch statement. I also seem to get the following error message every time: Notice: Undefined variable: select in c:\apache\apache\htdocs\index.php on line 51 Here's the code for my switch statement as well: switch($select) { case 1: print "About Stuff Goes Here."; break; case 2: print "Music Goes Here."; break; default:print "Testing..."; break; } -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
