[RESOLVED] IF statements won't work

[php_beginner_83]

Hi All

PHP is refusing to cooperate with me and I have no clue why 😕
I'm trying to do a simple comparison using an IF statement and display an html page is the IF statement is true.

the first part of my code is (this comes from America.php)..

<td><img src="images/sanFranThumb.jpg" align="middle"/></td>
					<td><?php echo "<a href=scriptA.php?place=1>"; ?>
					<h3>San Francisco</h3></a> </td>

This is then scriptA.php...

<?php

session_start();

$temp = $_GET['place'];
$_SESSION['placeValue'] = $temp;

header('Location: http://localhost/Website Templates/America1.php');
?>

And the following in America1.php is where the problem is..

<?php $placeValue = $_SESSION['placeValue'];

		if ($placeValue == 1)
		{
			$content = 'SanFranContent.htm';
		}
		if ($placeValue == 2)
		{
			$content = 'NewYorkContent.htm';
		}
		if ($placeValue == 3)
		{
			$content = 'MemphisContent.htm';
		}?>

I do use session_start(); at the start of the page. However, none of these IF statments work. I've printed out the value of $placeValue to screen and it is the correct value but I don't understand why the IF's dont catch the value. Depending on the value of $placeValue, a different HTML page is displayed.

Thanks in advance

after the first if, you probably want elseif(), and what are you dong with $content?

[dagon]

session_start();
should be at the top of America1.php also

session_start() was at the top of America1.php. I didnt post all the code just the parts I thought were needed.
Anyhoo, I got it working. By switching the IF statements to switch(), it worked!

Thanks
