[RESOLVED] Help with a Gamertag script I'm making

W00tbeer1

Hello there,

I'm very very new to PHP, and I'm just practicing with a few basic scripts to try to get me to learn new techniques and such.

I'm trying to make a PHP Script that when a person enters their gamertag into the field it demonstrates their gamertag in an image. Here is the current code I have, which does not work:

<html>
<body>

<form action="index.php" method=POST>
<input type=text name=live>
<input type=submit value="Generate Gamertag">

<?php
$live=$_POST['live'];
<br>
<a href="http://profile.mygamercard.net/"$live"">
<img src="http://card.mygamercard.net/"$live".png" border=0>
</a>

</body>
</html>

I'm basically trying to make it so that when the user enters their Gamertag into the "live" field, it automatically puts it into the URL under the "$live" variable.

Thanks for all the help and please bare with me.

First off you have a bunch of errors in your code.

<html>
<body>

<form action="index.php" method=POST>
<input type=text name=live>
<input type=submit value="Generate Gamertag">

<?php
$live=$_POST['live'];
?>
<br>
<a href="http://profile.mygamercard.net/<?php echo $live; ?>">
<img src="http://card.mygamercard.net/<?php echo $live; ?>.png" border=0>
</a>

</body>
</html>

So now thats fix, what exactly are you trying to do?

You're changes fixed the whole thing. Now I know where I place variables within a URL that I must create another set of php tags. Here is my script in action:
