Re: If statement being ignored by PHP

Hi Jurian, Your help was great, except that I'm not quite out of the woods yet. I think I have the if statments worked out. Except now I have a problem posting a form within a code. I would like the form that I've posted in Section A to stay on the same page and to implement the code I have set up in section B. Unfortunately, when I submit the form, it completely refreshes the whole page and removes the variables that were posted there previously. Would I have to hide the previously posted variables in this form to to send the mail with the variables $remail $sender semail & $message already defined? If this is a bit confusing the pages that this is being implemented in are here: http://www.openconcept.on.ca/cards/send.phtml http://www.openconcept.on.ca/cards/send.php3 I've included the whole send.php3 file to the bottom and have included the specific section of the text is here: if ($semail != "") { // Section A echo "<form method=\"GET\" action=\"send.php3\">"; echo "<input type=\"radio\" value=\"yes\" NAME=\"epost\">Yes, please send my card!"; echo "<input type=\"radio\" value=\"no\" NAME=\"epost\">No, I will try again."; echo "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\"></form><br>"; // Section B if ($epost == "yes") { mail("$recipient <$remail>", "$sender has sent you a card", $message,"From: $semail \nReply-To: $semail\nX-Mailer: PHP3"); echo "Your card number $idnumber has been sent to $recipient.<p>\n"; } elseif ($epost == "no") { echo "<strong>Please rewrite your card and try again.</strong><p>\n"; } elseif ($epost == "") { echo "<strong>You have not yet sent the card.</strong><p>\n"; } else { echo ""; } } else { echo "<strong>This card was NOT sent because the sender's email address was not provided!</strong><p>\n"; } WHOLE SEND.PHP3 FILE <?php // HTML Title Variable $htitle = "Janni's Cards: "; // Web Page Title Variable $dtitle = "Send a Card"; // Date Changed Variables $date = Date("d/M/y", getLastMod()); // Include Title Bar and Side Bar include ("head.phtml"); ?> <?php // Text file for saving cards $cardfile="cardfile.txt"; // Counter Script $free=0; $empty="empty\n"; $oldcards = file($cardfile); $total = count($oldcards); for($i = 0 ; $i < count($oldcards) ; $i++) { if($array[$i] == $empty) { $free=$i; } } if($free=="0"){ if($oldcards==$empty){ $free=0; } else { $free=$total; } } // Place existing cards into an array. $fd = fopen("$cardfile", "r"); $oldcards = ""; // Leave this blank while ($buffer = fgets($fd, 4096)) { $oldcards .= $buffer; } fclose($fd); // What is written to the Text File $newcard = $free+1 .
