Switch statement problem

[Bobs]

My problem with the code below is that every time i press submit i get the default value of my switch displayed on screen. I cant see why it wont just insert into the database. $table and $qty come from another form(select boxs). Please excuse some of the echo statements, just getting really annoyed with this.

<?PHP
$table=$HTTP_POST_VARS['table'];
$qty=$HTTP_POST_VARS['qty'];
$lecname=$HTTP_POST_VARS['lecname'];
$lecurl1=$HTTP_POST_VARS['lecurl1'];
$lecurl2=$HTTP_POST_VARS['lecurl2'];
$lectureNumber = 0;
$Number=1;
include ("../Connections/test_holding_inc.php");
echo "<FORM METHOD=\"POST\" ACTION=\"$PHP_SELF\">"; 
switch ($table) {
     case "Lectures";

echo "<table width=\"800\" border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"3\" cellspacing=\"2\">\n";
echo "<tr><th bgcolor = \"#CCCCFF\" colspan=\"4\" align=\"center\">Enter Lecture Note Details</th></tr>";
while ($lectureNumber < $qty)
{

   echo "<tr>\n";
   echo " <td width=10><b> $Number.</b></td><td width=\"270\">Lecture Notes Name: <input type =\"text\" name=\"lecname[]\" ></td>
         <td width=250>Postscript URL: <input type=\"text\" name=\"lecurl1[]\" ></td>
		 <td width=220>PDF URL: <input type=\"text\" name=\"lecurl2[]\" ></td>\n";
   echo "</tr>\n"; 

   $lectureNumber++;
   $Number++;
  }
echo "</table>\n";
echo "<br>";
echo "<input type=\"HIDDEN\" NAME=\"send\" VALUE=\"submitted\">";
echo "<input type=\"Submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\">";
echo "<input type=\"reset\" value=\"Clear me!\">";
echo "</FORM>";
#was form submitted
if ( $send != "submitted" ) {
echo "Alright";
} else {
for ($i = 0; $i < qty; $i++ ){

$sql="Insert INTO lectures (name, url1, url2) values ('$lecname[$i]', '$lecurl1[$i]', '$lecurl2[$i]')";

if (!mysql_query($sql,$connection)) {
echo "error cannot add record..hit the back buton and try again !!!<br>";
exit;
} else { echo "arse";
}}}


break;
case "Tutorials";
echo "Tutorial Table";
break;
default:
echo "Wank Shite";
exit;
}
?>

you're not using sqitch properly which probably isnt helping. if you see in the manual[url] youll see the example:

switch ($i) {
    case 0:
        print "i equals 0";
        break;
    case 1:
        print "i equals 1";
        break;
    case 2:
        print "i equals 2";
        break;
}

see the difference?

You're ending your "case" lines with ";", whereas you should be using ":".

Ok thanks jpmoriarty i fixed the switch statement like you said but still does not work any other suggestions.

Try doing some debugging by trying to display values of variables where possible using echo.

If you are still having troubles please submit your new code.
