Can anyone help me get this to work?

Hi, I am working on my first hack, it is a bit of a modified version of dark vincents RPG stats hack, but only used bits, and added some more.

Its so each member can have their own pet, each pet has its own name, its own breed, and wether its male or femal.

I have attatched what I have so far, but I cant get it to work... I dont know why, can anyone help me? Major credits to anyone who can

Thanks in advance

PS. Please tell me what I am doing wrong and not just fix it, I need to know my mistakes, so I can learn from them

PPS. Any comments on the hack are very grateful!

PPPS. My friend is working on some little graphics for the animals, so I will add them to version 2.

Hey Ember lol

Try this:

replace

PHP Code:

//start Pet types
    if ($post[pettype] == "0") {
     $pettype = "None";
    } elseif ($post[pettype] == "1") {
     $pettype = "Dog";
    } elseif ($post[pettype] == "2") {
     $pettype = "Cat";
    } elseif ($post[pettype] == "3") {
     $pettype = "Hamster";
    } elseif ($post[pettype] == "4") {
     $pettype = "Frog";
    } elseif ($post[pettype] == "5") {
     $pettype = "Fish";
    }
//end Pet types 


PHP Code:

//start Pet types
    if ($post[pettype] == "0") {
     $pettype1 = "None";
    } elseif ($post[pettype] == "1") {
     $pettype1 = "Dog";
    } elseif ($post[pettype] == "2") {
     $pettype1 = "Cat";
    } elseif ($post[pettype] == "3") {
     $pettype1 = "Hamster";
    } elseif ($post[pettype] == "4") {
     $pettype1 = "Frog";
    } elseif ($post[pettype] == "5") {
     $pettype1 = "Fish";
    }
//end Pet types 


and replace

PHP Code:

<b>Type:</b> $post[pettype]<br>
<b>Gender:</b> $post[petgender]<br> 


with

PHP Code:

<b>Type:</b> $post[pettype1]<br>
<b>Gender:</b> $post[petgender1]<br> 


PS - I have a very vague idea how this works, but I dunno if it will :P

[Ember]

No luck. It doesnt display anything there now, I will have a play around... see what I can do

[Ember]

I think its something to do with the member.php - not putting the things into the database, or not correctly...

[geniuscrew]

Sorry lol -

Can you tell me what it did and didn't display before - Just realised I have another hour before my next lesson ^^

[Ember]

Ok, the name displays fine...

It didnt show the name of the type, or the name of the gender.

I am still checking its putting stuff into the database.

[Ember]

Its not putting stuff into the database, so I am now putting info in via phpmyadmin, and checking how it displays.

[Ember]

ok, I am going to use

PHP Code:

$pettype1 


and see if that works in the postbit, it should.

But first need to reboot.

[geniuscrew]

I asked you like 3 times to try putting stuff in using phpMyAdmin lol :P

[Ember]

I know, and I thought it was working :P
