Howdy, tonight I was playing around with trying to pass a value from a form field and use it for an "if" statement in php.
the html:
myscript.php:
No matter what I type in (or don't type in) it always echos "Number One". Is there a way to pass an integer from the form field instead of text? Maybe a way to convert it?
Thanks!
the html:
Code:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Form Test</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>Form Test</H1>
<form name="input" action="myscript.php" method="get">
Enter a 1 or a 2:
<input type="text" name="page_number_from_form">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Code:
#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?php
$page_number="";
if(isset($_GET["page_number_from_form"])) $page_number = $_GET["page_number_from_form"];
if($page_number="1")
{
echo 'Number One.';
}
else if($page_number="2")
{
echo 'Number Two.';
}
else
echo 'No page number.';
?>No matter what I type in (or don't type in) it always echos "Number One". Is there a way to pass an integer from the form field instead of text? Maybe a way to convert it?
Thanks!
Good lucks.
