define variables get pushed into one variable..etc

[Dutch_MaFia-boy]

Here is what I am trying to do.

I am going to have a select menu of contries - canada, usa, mexico, etc - I have a integer value assigned to each of them in the define block.

I want to have all that in the define block into a variable called $distance - which will then carry on putting data in a table.

<?php


define('candis', 100);
define('usadis', 200);
define('mexdis', 300);
define('eurodis', 800);
define('asiadis', 900);
define('afrdis', 850);
define('ausdis', 500);

switch ($location)
{
  case 'canada' :
     echo '<p>Canada = '.$candis.' miles.</p>';
     break;
  case 'usa' :
     echo '<p>USA = '.$usadis.' miles.</p>';
     break;
  case 'mexico' :
     echo '<p>Mexico = '.$mexdis.' miles.</p>';
     break;
  case 'europe' :
     echo '<p>Europe = '.$eurodis.' miles.</p>';
     break;
  case 'asia' :
     echo '<p>Asia = '.$asiadis.' miles.</p>';
     break;
  case 'africa' :
     echo '<p>Africa = '.$afrdis.' miles.</p>';
     break;
  case 'austrailia' :
     echo '<p>Austrailia = '.$ausdis.' miles.</p>';
     break;
  default :
     echo '<p>No clue whre you are from.</p>';
     break;
}



$distance = 50;
while ($distance <= 250)
{
  echo "<tr>\n <td align"="right">. $distance</td>\n";
  echo "<td align="right">". $distance / 10 ."</td>\n</tr>\n";
  $distance += 50;
}
?>

Also - I am getting a parse error on the 2 echo statements within the while loop....do they look OK?

[Najjar]

  echo "<tr>\n <td align"="right">. $distance</td>n"; 
echo "<td align="right">". $distance / 10 ."</td>n</tr>n"; 

Use single quote instead of double as:

  echo '<tr>\n <td align='right'>'. $distance.'</td>n'; 
echo '<td align='right'>'. $distance / 10 .'</td>n</tr>n'; 

And I did not actualy get your idea about the $distance value
because according to your echo statements this is the output
you will get

50 | 5
100 | 10
150 | 15

Without the n(s) you are using
