I have put all my code here
The problem lies with the if statement.
The 2nd for loop works with $maximum but not with string comparisons.
It should print a line if a checkbox is checked for flat in HTML
once the checkbox is checked then the value "flat" will passed to php
if the checkbox is not checked then the value would be null.
these values are passed in the $flat.
$image is a string from txt file wich contains flat1.jpg
therefore, i used
$prop=substr($image,0,4)
in order to compare first 4 characters if they are the same it should print a line from text file.
If it is checked or not it gives always the false statement.
