Re: Trouble with switch statements

This appears to be a register globals problem.... replace "switch($select)" with "switch($_GET['select'])". For information on register globals and why it has been turned off in later releases see this pagee: http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.registerglobals.php There is nothing syntactically wrong with the switch statment you are just refering to an non-existant variable... I imaginge this came from an outdated book or tutorial. -- JJ Harrison lizner2002@yahoo.com.au "Edward Kehoe" <emkehoe@learn.senecac.on.ca> wrote in message news:20021025174451.82626.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > Ok...I just recently installed Apache1 and PHP 4.2.3 on my computer and I've > configured everything.
