I'm trying to change the way I make my site by using PHP. [ trying to anyway lol]

Please can someone tell me what's wrong with this.

Thanks

PHP Code:


			
<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>Spells Season 1

</TITLE>

</HEAD>



<BODY>





<b>Something Wicca This Way Comes<b><p>

<?php 



echo "<a href=\"spells1.php?action=101\">To become witches</a>



if ($action=="101") {

echo 

"Hear now the words of the witches

The secrets we hid in the night

The oldest of gods are invoked here

The great work of magic is sought

In this night and in this hour

I call upon the ancient power

Bring your powers to we sisters three

We want the power

Give us the power.";

}



?>



</BODY>

</HTML>

well your missing the quote and semi colon on the first echo and you should use print, instead of echo

Thanks. I'll try again

What's the main difference between print and echo?

There is none, to my knowledge.

print just displays the info and echo returns true if it does false if not.....or something like that, try php.net, but i learned to use print because i used to do echo too

also specialchars like \n are treatened different in echo and print AFAIK

geniuscrew · #7 01-23-2003, 11:20 PM

Just when you thought I'd gone...lol

1. What is \n?
2. I have now managed to display a spell underneath the link when you click on it! [go me - this is a big advancement for me]

I have seen loads of files which have several <body> and <html> tags with a php page.

What I wanna do is do the same - when you click on a link, it will show the spell as if it's on a new page, ie just on it's own.

How would I do that?

Thanks for all your help guys

so you want it all contained in one php file but looks like a different page?

PHP Code:


			
if (!$spell) { // this means if spell is not defined in the url display the links

print "<a href=\"thispage.php?spell=fire\">Fire</a>";

print "<a href=\"thispage.php?spell=water\">Water</a>";

}



if ($spell == "fire") {

 //Display HTML for fire spell

} elseif ($spell == "water") {

            //Display HTML for water spell

}

this will always display the links but only display the spell info if the spell equals something in the url....do you get the genreral idea?

also, \n is like a <br> so you'd do

PHP Code:


			
print "This is first line \n This is second line";

edit: fixed stuff

geniuscrew · #9 01-24-2003, 01:35 AM

Yes I totally get it!

It's just a case of where to put the code you've stated :/

ie. where do the <HTML> and <BODY> tags etc. go?

mr e · #10 01-24-2003, 01:40 AM

where i have the display html part, and you can open the tags on both because it will only execute one of the options so it won't duplicate any of the tags

so you could do

PHP Code:


			
<?php



print "<a href=\"thispage.php?spell=fire\">Fire</a>";

print "<a href=\"thispage.php?spell=water\">Water</a>";

//repeat as needed





if ($spell == "fire") {

  //Do fire HTML, ex 

print "<html><body>This is fire stuff</body></html>";

} elseif ($spell == "water") {

             //Do water HTML, ex 

             print "<html><body>This is water stuff</body></html>";

}

this will make a basic page with links that will stay at the top and other info that will only appear if the spell variable equals something
