am 17.09.2007 09:06:43 von shror
I was testing to post a form and echo message according to the
submitted box using else if and then mail() the box result to myself
just for testing the procedure but i got some problems:
1# the text box value is not echoed to my result page
2# also the mail doesn't send me the text box value
3# the address bar view that the value entered was the correct value i
entered
so please help me
the 111.htm form code is:
http://www.beachtoursegypt.com/111.htm
the 123.php code is:
http://www.beachtoursegypt.com/123.php
$i=1;
while($i<=5)
{
echo "The number is " . $i . "
";
$i++;
}
$x = $_POST['abc'];
if ($x == "a")
echo "A";
else if ($x == "b")
echo "B";
else if ($x == "c")
echo "C";
else
echo "nothing";
// The message
$message = "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3\n$i\n$i++\nthe switch result is:
$x";
// In case any of our lines are larger than 70 characters, we should
use wordwrap()
$message = wordwrap($message, 70);
$from = "From: shror ";
// Send
mail('me@isp', 'My Subject', $message, $from);
?>
the mail result I get is:
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
6
6++
the switch result is:
could anybody help me please and also I want to know how to use switch
case because i tried to use them also but failed, so if any body have
a working example for switch case with mail() this will really be
great and appreciated.

I have no idea what most of the rest of that code is intended to do.
But this should solve the switch part of your question:
[code]
$message = "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3\n$i\n$i++\nthe switch result is:
switch($_POST['abc']) {
case "A":
$message .= "a";
break;
case "B":
$message .= "b";
break;
case "C":
$message .= "c";
break;
default:
$message .= "nothing";
break;
}
[/code]

For general language constructs like switch the best place to look is
the PHP manuals (which are available for free online ).
