Passing Variables and Internal Variables

01292003 1540 CST When I run this script I get the html at the end but no $result. If the result is run on the same page as the output, there shouldnt be anything variable wise stopping this from running, right? Wade <?php

    if (($_POST["val1"] == " ") || ($_POST["val2"] == " ") ||

($_POST["calc"] == " "))

    {
        header("Location: http://localhost/Learning PHP/PHP Fast &

Easy/Ch_6/calculate_form.html");

        exit;
    }

    if ($_POST["calc"] == "add")
    {
        $result = $val1 + $val2;
    }

        else if ($_POST["calc"] == "subtract")
        {
             $result = $val1 - $val2;
        }

        else if ($_POST["calc"] == "multiply")
        {
             $result = $val1 *  $val2;
        }

        else if ($_POST["calc"] == "divide")
        {
            $result = $val1 / $val2;
        }

?> <html> <head> <title>Calculation Result</title> <head> <body>

    <p>The result of the calculation is: <?php "$result"; ?></p>

</body> </html>
