Parse error

[SsirhC]

I get this when i try to create my code:

parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\my file\blue\matches\season.php on line 9

<?php
switch ($season){
case ($season[1])
	$_POST['season']."5.txt";
	break;
case ($season[2])
	$_POST['season']."6.txt";
	break;
case ($season[3])
	$_POST['season']."7.txt";
	break;
case ($season[4])
	$_POST['season']."8.txt";
	break;
case ($season[5])
	$_POST['season']."9.txt";
	break;
}
?>

what does this mean? 😛

Hi,

It means that there is an error in your statement ;-)

If I remember correctly you have to place : between the case value and the action:

switch ($season){ 
case $season[1]: 
    $_POST['season']."5.txt"; 
    break; 
case $season[2]: 
    $_POST['season']."6.txt"; 
    break; 
case $season[3]: 
    $_POST['season']."7.txt"; 
    break; 
case $season[4]: 
    $_POST['season']."8.txt"; 
    break; 
case $season[5]: 
    $_POST['season']."9.txt"; 
    break; 
} 

And then there is still the problem that $POST['season']."5.txt"; doesn't really do anything, which may result in an error. You might want to parse it into a var?
$var = $POST['season']."5.txt";
