@BeachSideJul 15.2005 — What line are you getting the error on because you don't have a variable named [B]$option[/B] in the code you provided?

Also you have errors in the code you did provide...
[code=php]
<?php
//selector.php
switch ($action) {
case "order_food":
include "hotel.php";
break;
case "play_hangman":
include "play.php";
break;
default:
echo "Please choose what you'd like to do:<BR>";
echo "<A HREF="YOU NEED A LINK IN HERE?action=order_food">Order Food</A><BR>";
echo "<A HREF="YOU NEED A LINK IN HERE TOO?action=play_hangman">Play</A>";
}
?>
[/code]

@mahfoozauthorJul 15.2005 — ok

thanx for response

but here is a problem . i don't under stand the use of " select " statement in this code. that is not my code but a weox book code.

if we simply write these lines, it will work as they did in "select" statement.


[SIZE=1]echo "<A HREF="YOU NEED A LINK IN HERE?action=order_food">Order Food</A><BR>";

echo "<A HREF="YOU NEED A LINK IN HERE TOO?action=play_hangman">Play</A>";[/SIZE]


let u tell me where we need to use "select" statement with links.

i want to display hotels on the "result.php" page by searching from database.

don't be worry about database, i will handle it any way.

only PHP with select "statement"

thannx once again for response.

//selector.php

switch ($action) {

case "order_food": include "hotel.php"; break;

case "play_hangman": include "play.php"; break;

default:

echo "Please choose what you'd like to do:<BR>";

echo "<A HREF='?action=order_food'>Order Food</A><BR>";

echo "<A HREF='?action=play_hangman'>Play</A>";

[b]break;[/b]

}

?>

It's bad coding practice not to use "" or '' in html. I dont know WHY you had <?php inside the echo, but I suspect that is what was causing the error.

Oh, and BeachSide, you don't need a link before ?, if not it acts as passing a query to the index of the directory (like if you remove the index.php).

True.

Chalk it up to habit I guess, I don't like taking too many shortcuts like that. It tends to lead to errors for me, not to mention the loss of hair from finding those errors, and I like my hair :p

Kinda like ternary operators, I cannot stand using things like ? and : instead of if/else looking for those makes me :eek: lol

OH, and sorry for hijacking the thread.
