$val = $POST["name"];

if($_POST['mydropdown'] == 'a'){

switch($val){
case ($val>=70):
echo "13 - 15 First Class Honours";
break;
case ($val>=60):
echo "10 - 12 Upper Second Class Honours";
break;
case ($val>=50):
echo "7 - 9 Lower Second Class Honours";
break;
case ($val>=40):
echo "4 - 6 Third Class Honours";
break;
default:
echo "0 - 3 Fail";
}
}

I also tried this way:

$val = $POST["name"];



if (isset($_POST['submit']))

{
//echo $_POST["name"];

}
switch ($_POST['mydropdown']){
case 'a':
   if (( $val >=70) and ($val <=100)) {
    echo "13 - 15 First Class Honours";
}
else if (( $val >=60)and($val <= 69))
{
    echo "10 - 12 Upper Second Class Honours";
}
//echo $_POST["name"];
else if (( $val >=50)and($val <= 59))
{
    echo "7 - 9 Lower Second Class Honours";
}
else if (( $val >=40)and($val <= 49))
{
    echo "4 - 6 Third Class Honours";
}
else if (( $val >=0)and($val <= 39))
{
    echo "0 - 3 Fail";
}

break;
case 'b':
echo 'You chose B';
break;
case 'c':
echo 'You chose C';
break;
}

?>

Ive asked about it on yahoo answers and thats where I got the first version of code that I posted, but that didnt work either, the first version of code outputs only "first class honours" and the second version only outputs "fail" no matter what I enter in the textfield

Any help?

It seems I missed out the underscore at $_post

But I have a question.

How do I open a php page if something happens for example, if a > b then open something.php

Chars

Also, anyone know how to extract specific characters in a text field?
e.g.
if theres a number in a field extract it, and if theres a + in a field extract it.

Hi pathtotake, if I understand it correctly. Your code is correct and you should be executing it when the form is submitting. If you are already submitting the form, try doing <?php print_r($form); ?> on top of your code and tell me what your output is once you submit the form.

[johnny123]

In response to your second question, do your redirect using header() function.

[johnny123]

In response to your third question, use Php strip_tags() function.

Thanks for your help.

Would you know anything about searching through mysql?

[johnny123]

You can use mysql "like" in your query to search for a particular text.

This doesn't help.

Probably because you being rather vague. Expand on what you mean by 'searching through mysql'.

I see someone already pointed out the $_POST issue...
You should really check for isset on these... check you log

mysql LIKE '%search%' may be useful, I am assuming you are not aware of the %.

Thanks guys but this wouldn't have helped. I solved these problems by reading tutorials which is what I should have done in the first place.

Saying things like "mysql LIKE '%search%' may be useful", will mean nothing to me, since I don't even know exactly what mysql even is (its a database! and scripting language? if so, how?).
I got a lot of it to work though.

Ive submitted what needs to be submitted now, so it's all good.
