[RESOLVED] putting form inside if tags?

Smeep

I want to put my form inside an if fucntion.

But I use HTML kit to edit my code, and it formats it to show you the different functions etc, and basically putting in

<form action="confirm.php" method="post">
Enter your alias: <input type="text" name="author" />
Enter the title: <input type="title" name="title" />
<label>Type your review:<br />
<textarea name="text" rows="10" cols="40">
</textarea></label>
<input type="submit" value="Go!"/>
</form>

inside a <?php ?> with if tags in, messes the code and causes it to malfunction.

How can I put HTML inside PHP? Is this possible?

I'm not sure what you mean. Maybe you simply mean this:

<?PHP
if ( some condition here ) {
?>
<form action="confirm.php" method="post">
Enter your alias: <input type="text" name="author" />
Enter the title: <input type="title" name="title" />
<label>Type your review:<br />
<textarea name="text" rows="10" cols="40">
</textarea></label> <input type="submit" value="Go!"/>
</form>
<?PHP
} // close 'if' statement
?>

hth.

Would the code you have there, basically do this?

if some condtion is true,
show form,
else,
do not show form?

Yeah, but since it has no "else" it's better said as:

if some condition is true,
show form.

So, if the condition is never met, then of course you wouldn't see the form.

Ok, I have that, but it's giving me parse error on line 24, unexpected {

<?php
if (isSet($_COOKIE['pzcookie']) 
{ ?> [color=red]ERROR IS HERE[/color]
<form action="confirm.php" method="post">
Enter your alias: <input type="text" name="author" />
Enter the title: <input type="title" name="title" />
<label>Type your review:<br />
<textarea name="text" rows="10" cols="40">
</textarea></label>
<input type="submit" value="Go!"/>
</form>
<?php 
} 
else 
{
echo 'You do not have permision, bub';
} 
?>

You forgot a right parenthesis on the 'if' statement line:

if (isSet($_COOKIE['pzcookie']))

FYI:

Parse Errors are caused by human error. Check on the line of the error, but usually one to many lines before it, for missing closing tags (i.e. ", ), }, ;, etc.).

Here's a list of what those PHP tokens seen in error messages mean:

LOL, I assume you meant "bag" and not "bad". You must be tired.

You're welcome.

Happy coding.

Yeah I dig (On purpose that one there <<<) and yes, I am tired - And I still have to disassemble this entire PC, to move it to the other room so the floor can be relayed in the morning. sigh

Can I steal you and have you site besides me as I code? lol 😉
