Re: Switch Statement

<?php <form method="POST" action=""> <input name="next_step" type="text" value="step20" /> <input type="submit" value="press" /> </form> <pre> <?php function good() { echo "we're GOOD"; } function bad() { echo "BAD"; } //Switch statement echo "\nbefore\n"; var_dump($_POST); //post#1 print_r($_POST); //post#2 switch ( $_POST['next_step'] ) { case 'step20': { echo 'step20'; if(!empty($_POST['Cust_Num'])) good(); if(empty($_POST['Cust_Num'])) bad(); break; } //end step20 } //end switch ?> works fine when you hit submit. Try to isolate the error by running a simplified script like this one next time before posting. Also, you had "pint_r" instead of "print_r" somewhere. I would also set these in php.ini: error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT ; OR even error_reporting = E_ALL & E_DEPRECATED & E_STRICT ; AND display_errors = On and correct all errors and warnings if you have time, but even if not... Question to all: Does this formatting work for you or is it too much, annoying or anything else bad?
