Stupid simple variable help

[melloorr]

Okay, So I have a dropdown box:

<select name="imgsize">
<option value="small">480 x 360</option>
<option value="medium">720 x 540</option>
<option value="big">1200 x 900</option>
<option value="large">1440 x 1080</option>
</select>

 

and I have code that gets the size:

$resizeimg = $_REQUEST["imgsize"];

 

But I cannot get it to work with an if statement:

if ($resizeimg == "large")
    {
    }

 

 

It just comes up with about 50 lines of gibberish. I have used error_reporting(-1); but that is not coming up with any errors.

Could anyone help please. Its probably so simple, but my mind is drawing a blank

Post the "gibberish"?

Also, don't use $_REQUEST. It combines post, get, cookie variables and at some point in time, it will burn you while trying to get an expected value.

 

Use the correct $_POST or $_GET variable that you expect the data to be in.

This is just 2 lines of the gibberish:

I used $_POST but I am still getting the gibberish. I am using elseif statements too, could that be the problem?

 

if ($resizeimg == "small")
    {

}

elseif ($resizeimg == "medium")
    {
}

elseif ($resizeimg == "big")
    {

}

elseif ($resizeimg == "large")
    {

  
}

else { echo "Error";}

 

And I dont get see the echo "Error" either

[mikosiko]

I don't see any echo in the code that you posted (except your echo "error") that could produce your "gibberish", but I could bet that you are trying to echo an image file... post your relevant code

It's okay, I just solved the problem. It turns out it was my stupidity. The form asks for a place to save the image, but I wasn't giving it anywhere to save it to, so it came up with all that.

 

Sorry
