[Resolved] if else

[dougmcc1]

AARRRGGGGG why isnt this working???

if ($authorize == "yes") {
echo "You selected the Yes button.";
}
if ($authorize == "no") {
echo "You selected the No button.";
} else {
die ("Please select either yes or no.");
}

When I select the Yes button, it says "You selected the Yes button.Please select either yes or no."

The No button works though. When I select the No button, it says "You Selected the No button."

Why is the else statement kicking in when I select the Yes button? The two buttons in the form are named 'authorize' and one has a value of 'yes' and the other has a value of 'no'.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

I think you want to use the ifelse statement. Try changing your code to:

if ($authorize == "yes") {
echo "You selected the Yes button.";
}
ifelse($authorize == "no") {
echo "You selected the No button.";
} else {
print ("Please select either yes or no.");
}

It gives me a parse error on this line:

ifelse($authorize == "no") {

oh it was elseif, not ifelse. Thanks!

Yeah sorry. I haven't used it for a long time.
