select case **

Thanks, all of the above code is in one file called selectcase.php, the first time the page loads i should just see the form. the form should send the value of action so that one case statement is excuted and the form is displayed again. why is every case statment being executed along with the form when the page first loads. Curtis <? select ($action) { case 1: ?> <b>action is 1</b> a couple more lines of html <u>test</u> <? case 2: ?> <b> action is 2</b> some more lines of html <u>test 2</u> <? } ?> <?end select?> <form action="selectcase.php" method="get"> <select name="action"> <option>1</option> <option>2</option> <option>3</option> </select> <input type="Submit" name="s1" value="submit"> </form> Curtis Cole Programmer/Web Dev. curtis@stcmail.com http://www.stcinc1.com 800-933-4504 Fax: 334-666-8833
