<?php

// not sure why trying to make predefined php variable global
// you don't need this
global $PHP_SELF;

print "Survey" // missing semi-colon

if ($name == " ") {

// need to weave out of php here
?>


<FORM TARGET="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" METHOD=GET>
Name: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="name">
<BR>
E-Mail <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="email">
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Submit">

<?
// weave back in here

} else {

// i just concatenated the variables, although i think it still works the other way
// you were also missing the semi-colon at the end
print "Your name is " . $name . "and yor e-mail is " . $email;

}

?>

keep forgeting semicolons, but i read somewhere that you didn't have to weave out of PHP to do the form stuff, for invisionboard, when i installed the quick reply hack, i didn't have to weave out, and it had the Form stuff in it, thanks for your reply

know it says Parse error on line 9

if ($name == " ") { 

[cgraz]

<?php

print "Survey";

if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) {

?>


<FORM METHOD="POST" action="<?= $PHP_SELF; ?>">

Name: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="name"><BR>
E-Mail <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="email">

<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" name="submit" VALUE="Submit">

<?


} else {

print "Your name is " . $_POST['name'] . "and yor e-mail is " . $_POST['email'];

}

?>

You don't have to weave in and out, but the way you had it, you just had html inside php, and html tags are not php functions. What you'd need to do if you didn't want to weave out of php is echo out the html, making sure to escape all quotations.

echo "<form method=\"post\" action=\"" . $PHP_SELF . "\">";

There's room for a lot of parse errors; it may be easier for you to just weave in and out for now.
