Hi all,

 

Im having some trouble building a form and wondered if anyone could help.

 

I have a form which has got multiple checkboxes and what im trying to do is make the form action a variable which directs one way if the checkboxes have been checked and another if there empty.

 

( I should point out that the php code is in another file that is being included in the header of each page )

 

The code I currently have is:

 

<form class="indexSearch" action="<php echo $indexSearchFormAction; ?>" method="get">

<ul class="indexSearchIndustryList">

<li>

<input type="checkbox" value="1" name="industryList[]"><a href="#">Bathroom Fitting</a>

</li>

<li>

<input type="checkbox" value="2" name="industryList[]"><a href="#">Bricklaying</a>

</li>

<li>

<input type="checkbox" value="3" name="industryList[]"><a href="#">Carpentry</a>

</li>

<input type="submit" value="Show results" name="indexSearchSubmit">

</form>

<?php

if (!isset($_GET['indexSearchSubmit']))

{

$indexSearchFormAction = "";

}

else

{

$indexSearchFormAction = "search.php";

}

?>

when i submit i get the error:

You don't have permission to access /training_and_apprenticeships/<php echo $indexSearchFormAction; on this server.

any ideas what im doing wrong?

 

You have put <php you need to put <?php

O my god lol 3 hours of tweaking and reading around for a question mark.

 

I shall unregister myself immediately lol.

 

Thanks

Its no problem mate, ive spent hours myself looking over a problem only to notice it was a missing ; or i have used /'/' in a string rather then \'\'

Just a small tip a decent PHP editor will pick up these type of errors on the fly as u code something like netbeans
