Switch

[ayro]

whats wrong with this?

<?php
switch ($section) {
default:
include("addnews2.php");
break;
case "addnews":
include("addnews2.php");
break;
}
?>

p.s. i got a apache on my home pc just to test the scripts and its runin on Winxp

i also tryed

<?
if ($section == "news") {
        include("news.php");
		} elseif ($section == "welcome") {
		include("welcome.php");
    } else { echo "test"; }
?>

Nothing, both are correct

<?php
if ($section == "news") {
        echo "news";
} elseif ($section == "welcome") {
        	echo "welcome";
    } else {
		echo "test";
}
print "<br>";

switch ($section) {
	case "news":
		echo "news";
		break;
	case "welcome":
		echo "welcome";
		break;
	default:
		echo "test";
}
?>

I think at your configuration "register_globals" is set to off. Instead of the variable $section try it with $POST['section']

<?php
if ($_POST["section"] == "news") {
        echo "news";
} elseif ($_POST["section"] == "welcome") {
        	echo "welcome";
    } else {
		echo "test";
}
print "<br>";

switch ($_POST["section"]) {
	case "news":
		echo "news";
		break;
	case "welcome":
		echo "welcome";
	break;
	default:
		echo "test";
}
?>

[ayro]

nope its on....

<?php
if ($_POST["section"] == "news") {
        echo "news";
} elseif ($_POST["section"] == "welcome") {
            echo "welcome";
    } else {
        echo "test";
}
print "<br>";

switch ($_POST["section"]) {
    case "news":
        echo "news";
        break;
    case "welcome":
        echo "welcome";
    break;
    default:
        echo "test";
}
?>

dont work 🙁

That's crazy 😕

if (!isset($section)) {
   print "section != set<br>";
} else {
   print "section = set : $section<br>";
}
if (!isset($_POST["section"])) {
   print "POST section != set<br>";
} else {
   print "POST section = set : {$_POST["section"]}<br>";
}
if (!isset($_GET["section"])) {
   print "GET section != set<br>";
} else {
   print "GET section = set : {$_GET["section"]}<br>";
}

switch ($section) {
    case "news":
        echo "news";
        break;
    case "welcome":
        echo "welcome";
        break;
    default:
        echo "test";
}
?>

And now? What's the result?

[ayro]

section != set
POST section != set
GET section = set : news
test

thats what comes out when i enter index.php?section=news

that red news thats a good sign wenn i enter index.php?section=welcome insed of news it says welcome

[ayro]

HEY thx alot!!!

i changed the code a bit and now i got what i want! 🙂

<? 
if (isset($_GET["section"])) {
   include("{$_GET["section"]}.php");

}
?>

now when i enter index.php?section=news that news come
and if i enter Index.php?section=welcome welcome comes 😃

THX ALOT

If you are testing it like you said above:

index.php?section=news

then the variable "section" will be in GET not POST. GET variables are sent on the querystring, POST variables in the HTTP headers...
