Trouble running PHP scripts as actions on HTML Forms

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

 

I'm having some trouble running PHP scripts. I have two forms, each of which redirects to a PHP script (each PHP script is different, but essentially both have the same problem) as an action. The code is below. I'm hosted at Bluehost, which runs PHP on their servers so I know the tech is compatible.  Thanks! Cheers!

 

 

<html>

 

<script type="text/php">include('newform.php');</script>

<head>

 

<title>TradeSquared></title>

<p align="center">Trade Squared</p>

</head>

 

 

<body>

<br>

<br>

 

 

<div align="center">

 

 

 

Create a new Listing:

 

<form action="newform.php" method="get" name="newform">

 

Type:<select name="type">

<option value="book">Book</option>

<option value="apt">Apartment</option>

<option value="item">Class Items</option>

</select>

 

<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>

 

</form>

 

 

 

 

<br>

 

 

 

 

 

 

Search current Listings:

 

<form action="searchform.php" method="get" name="searchform">

 

Type:<select name="type">

<option value="book">Book</option>

<option value="apt">Apartment</option>

<option value="item">Class Items</option>

</select>

 

<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>

 

</form>

 

 

 

 

</div>

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

</body>

 

 

 

</html>

 

 

 

This is the PHP code on which action redirects to

 

 

<?php

 

$type = $_GET=["type"];

 

if($type=="book") header("location:addbooklisting.html");

else if($type == "apt") header("location:aptform");

else header("location:itemform");

 

?>

 

 

 

Second page

The Following Occurred:

$decide;

 

$comments = $_GET["comm"];

 

for($i=0; $i<=12; i++) {

 

if(ctype_digit($isbn)) $decide = true;

else $decide = false;

}

 

 

if( !(($dollar && $cents)==int)  ) echo "Price must be in numbers.";

 

else if($decide == false || strlen($isbn)!=13)  echo "ISBN contains 13 characters and must be numbers only"

 

else {

$db=mysql_connect("localhost","username","pass!");

 

mysql_select_db("db_dataabse",$db);

 

$dbsucces=mysql_query("INSERT INTO BookListings (Title, ISBN, Price, Condition, Comments)

else echo"Unsuccesful log.";
