<?php
<form method="POST" action="">
<input name="next_step" type="text" value="step20" />
<input type="submit" value="press" />
</form>
<pre>
<?php
function good() {
echo "we're GOOD";
}
function bad() {
echo "BAD";
}
//Switch statement
echo "\nbefore\n";
var_dump($_POST); //post#1
print_r($_POST); //post#2
switch ( $_POST['next_step'] )
{
case 'step20':
{
echo 'step20';
if(!empty($_POST['Cust_Num']))
good();
if(empty($_POST['Cust_Num']))
bad();
break;
} //end step20
} //end switch
?>
works fine when you hit submit. Try to isolate the error by running a
simplified script like this one next time before posting.
Also, you had "pint_r" instead of "print_r" somewhere.
I would also set these in php.ini:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT
; OR even
error_reporting = E_ALL & E_DEPRECATED & E_STRICT
; AND
display_errors = On
and correct all errors and warnings if you have time, but even if not...
Question to all: Does this formatting work for you or is it too much,
annoying or anything else bad?
