Getting Include Statements To Work

[obrienkev]

Hi all,

Please could you help me out here.

In my file called action.php I have created a switch statement. This file also uses include('list.php'); and
include('test.php');

In my switch statement I have...
case '1':
county();
display_appeal();
break;

Each function calls to each include file.

This action.php file bring all this code into a form. When the user hits submit it goes to process.php

However in process.php when I check that all fields were filled out it ignores my county() function from list.php.
It only checks that fields from display_appeal() function were filled out.

Why is this?????

Please, please help.
Thanks very much for your time and patience.

Kevin.

post up the code so we can see. i cant think of anything basic from what you've mentioned thus far.

This is my process.php code....

<?php
include('data_valid_fns.php');

// create short variable names
$name=$HTTP_POST_VARS['name'];
$your_email=$HTTP_POST_VARS['email'];
$phone=$HTTP_POST_VARS['phone'];
$address=$HTTP_POST_VARS['address'];
$inform=$HTTP_POST_VARS['inform'];
$rep=$HTTP_POST_VARS['rep[]'];
$message = $HTTP_POST_VARS['message'];

//rep is the variable that isnt checked

// check form filled in
if (!filled_out($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
	echo 'Please go back and enter your details.
			<a href="takeaction.htm">Return to fill out form details</a>';
	exit;
}

// email address not valid
if (!valid_email($your_email))
{
	echo 'Please enter a valid email address.
		<a href="takeaction.htm">Return to enter a valid email address</a>';
	exit;
}

if ($inform==1)
{
	//ADD PERSON TO FILE
	exit;
}

// email TDs
if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['submit'] && !empty($rep)) { 
    if (!empty($rep)) 
            $email=implode(',',$rep); 
    else 
            'Please go back and enter your details.
			<a href="takeaction.htm">Return to fill out form details</a>';
	//default 


    $headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; 
    $headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; 
    $headers .= "From:[e-mail]\n"; 
	$subject  = $HTTP_POST_VARS['subject'];  
    $content  = $name."\n"
			   .$your_email."\n"
			   .$address."\n"
			   .$phone."\n"
			   .$message."\n";

    mail($email,$subject,$content,$headers); 

// Redirect to thankyou-page 
    header('Location: [url]http://www.site.com/thanks.htm[/url]');  

}
?>

well that's very nice, but i thought you were having problems with the action page. in which case, maybe showing us that code mightn't be a bad idea?
