[Resolved] Minor prob:error won't echo

zoobie

I think somethings wrong with the code below as it also won't echo out an error message...All I get is a blank white page...Will the rest work ok? Thanks

<?php

$payment_status = $POST['payment_status'];
$payment_gross = $POST['payment_gross'];
$receiver_email = $_POST['receiver_email'];

$display = "<html><body><div align='center'><form name='fred' action='mail.php' method='post'><button onclick='this.fred.submit();'>SEND IT!</button></form></div></body></html>";

$error = "<html><body bgcolor='red'><div align='center'>ERROR</div></body></html>";

if ('Completed' == $payment_status){
if ($receiver_email == 'zoob@pop3.com') {
if ('0.02' == $payment_gross) {
echo "$display";
}
}
}

else{
echo "$error";
}

Just tested it, and it seemed to work fine...however i changed your if statement a bit:

if ($payment_status == 'Completed' && $receiver_email == 'zoob@pop3.com' && $payment_gross=='0.02')
{
	echo "$display";
}
else
{
	echo "$error";
}

...but the one you made should be ok too.

If i understand correctly you wish to validate a specific set of requirements from a given input form that is sent to the page.
And if the requirements match your criteria, you wish to display a button that will allow the sending of a mail to the ëmäil that went along with the post, else just display an error page.
If the above assumption is correct, then remember to send along the information that you need to the next page, eg: make 3 hidden input fields and throw along the paystat, patgross, and ëmäil.
If this is something that a user has to do , you might considered jumping the above click button step, as in: send infomation, validate silently and just send the mail.

Dunno what happened...
Yours worked and mine didn't...
Maybe something got cached...
Anyway, thanks. 😃

Now, how would I write that
to show individual errors for
each check and if none, echo $display?

Thanks a lot 😃

if ('Completed' == $payment_status)
{ 
	if ($receiver_email == 'zoob@pop3.com') 
	{ 
		if ('0.02' == $payment_gross) 
		{ 
			echo "$display"; 
		} 
		else
			echo $error3;
	}
	else
		echo $error2;
}
else
	echo $error1;

Why do you write your code without indention? That way you will always miss something!

Hey...How ya doin'?
Let me give it a shot...Thanks but isn't
it missing some curly brackets?

PS - I think the code aligns left if not
put within a

 bracket...

Bijan

I'm just fine! Thanks! How're YOU doing?! 😃

About the code, I know, I just don't like this style:

if ( true ){
doSomething();
}

I know it has a name, but well, I just forgot!

PS: I see nothing wrong with the curly brackets.
