Assign A New Value To A Variable Passed From An Html Form
I'm trying to assign a new value to a variable passed from an html form to a php3 script. I'm using an if statement to evaluate variable 3 to see if it is equal to a specific string, if it is I'm reassigning variable 2 to be variable2+variable 3.
if ($question3!="select days")
{
$question2=$question2+$question3;
}
This is the statement. It keeps giving me a parse error and I can't seem to find the right documentation to show me how to combine two string variables.

Assign Value To Variable
Is there any way I can use a function to create a variable and assign a value to it? I have a Perl script that returns some LDAP information: sn=Shore givenname=Mike logintime=20041008153445Z logindisabled=FALSE Instead of parsing this text and assigning the values, I was wondering if a function exists where I can pass a variable name and a value, and the variable would be created. ie. somefunc("sn", "Shore") Would create the variable $sn and assign the value "Shore" to it.

Assign Function Output To Variable??
I've found some references to this topic at : http://forums.devshed.com/showthrea...ion+to+variable but it does not seem to be working for me. here's a snippet... <?

Variable That Holds A Html Form Name
What variable holds the form name when the contents of a html page is submitted to a .php page? I used the post method to send the forms results to the php page. My php script looks like this: $CName= $HTTP_GET_VARS["form name"]; This is incorrect. There must be a specified variable in .php that holds the name of the form. My html form line looks like this: <form name="Theory" method="post" action="http://www.mysite.com/JSl/Jschool.php4">

Assign MySQL Function Result To PHP Variable
I know to use: mysql_fetch_row($result) to convert a row from a SQL query result set into an array for use with PHP. but in the case of SQL queries that return one value, such as calls to MySQL functions, is there another PHP mysql api function I should use. For example, right now I use a "workaround" technique from PHPBuilder: $result=mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tablename"); list($numrows)=mysql_fetch_row($result); Rather than using this "workaround" code is there a way to simply assign the result of the MySQL function query to a variable. $result=mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tablename"); $numrows=mysteryfunction($result);

HTML Variable In Auto Response Form
This formmail works. Auto responds fine. When I change the $my_message variable, from what is listed, to HTML code, it cancels out the latter PHP code(which is the autoresponder). The HTML code I insert into the $my_message variable, includes Javascript functions, which I assume are causing problems with the PHP, because when I remove the JS function, the "color code" in my editor, looks normal, with the latter PHP coding back in place, but it still doesn't work. Basically, I'm just trying to figure out how to autorespond an HTML email instead of just Text. Code:

Referencing PHP_SELF Variable Within HTML Form - Problem...
I am developing a simple web site that contains a form page. The apps utilized are apache 2.0.48, php 4.3.4 on redhat 8.0. I have built a simple web form with one text box and a submit button. The result of pressing the submit button should be php echo'ing the input back to the screen. Attached is the tiny code snippet below: ---------------------------------------------- <html> <head><title>PHP Forms Example</title></head> <body> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="POST"> Type a string: <input type="text" name="myString"><br> <input type="Submit" name="submit" value="Submit Journal"><br><br> </form> <?php print "You typed: $myString"; ?> </body> </html> ---------------------------------------------- The problem I am experiencing is that the print statement doesn't print anything back to output. If you notice, I changed the reference PHP_SELF due to 4.2.x modifications in php.ini.
