They seem to skip a step between 7 and 8 on page 157. They say to load form4.php and enter a movie name. The next step they say to add the film's year (but that's not even an option on this form.
When I hit "Add" or "Search" at the bottom of my form, it brings me to the same page with the Debug Dump, but not the AddMovie.php or AddPerson.php.
My code is correct. There are no parse errors. Can someone please help?
CODE:
form4.php
<?php
//debug info display
function debugDisplay(){
?>
<PRE>
$_POST
<?php
print_r($_POST);
?>
$_GET
<?php
print_r($_GET);
?>
</PRE>
<?php
}
//switch on search / add wizard step
switch( $_GET['step']){
// search/add form
case "1" :
$type = explode(":",$_POST['type']);
if ($_POST['Sumbit']=="Add"){
require($_POST['Submit'].$type[0].'.php');
} else {
if( $_POST['type'] == "Movie:Movie" && $_POST['MovieType'] ==""){
header("Location:form4.php");
}
?>
<h1>Search Results</h1>
<p>You are looking for a "<?php echo $type[1]?>" named "<?php echo $_POST['Name']?>"</p>
<?php
}
if ($_POST['Debug'] == "on"){
debugDisplay();
}
break;
//Add Summary
case "2":
$type = explode(":",$_POST['type']);
?>
<h1>New <?php echo $type[1]?> : <?php echo $_POST['Name']?></h1>
<?php
switch( $type[0] ) {
case "Movie":
?>
<p>Released in <?php echo $_POST['MovieYear']?></p>
<p><?php echo n12br(stripslashes($_POST['Desc']))?></p>
<?php
break;
default:
?>
<h2>Quick Bio</h2>
<p><?php echo n12br(stripslashes($_POST['Bio']))?></p>
<?php
break;
}
break;
//starting form
default;
require('startform.php');
break;
}
?>

========================
I'm assuming that in startform.php they have us send the form data to form4.php, which is why there is AddMovie or AddPerson in the sequence.
I'm constantly having to check the forums for solutions to every other problems.

Ah iamdaniel, I think I spotted it!
In your code for Form4.php there is a ; where the should be a :
It's on the 3rd (well 5th) line up from the bottom
default;
default;
require('startform.php');
break;
}
?>
I hope that's it as I didn't read the rest - jumping to conclusions
The thing is I'm stuck on the same chapter, and it looks like everyone's new year resolution is to learn PHP from THIS book, when every chapter you have to do a lot of googling - the main reason I registered here!
My form4.php wont display anythin just a blank page...

 Spotted another thing:
addmovie.php
<?php
if ($_POST['type'] == "Movie:Movie" && $_POST['MovieType'] == ""){
header("Location:form4.php");
}
$title = $_POST['Sumbit']." ".$_POST['type']." : ".$_POST['Name'];
$name= $_POST['Name'];
$name[0] = strtoupper( $name[0]);
?>
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo $title?></title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="form4.php?step=2" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="type" value="<?php echo $type[1]?>">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="<?php echo $_POST['Submit']?>">
<table border="1" width="750" cellspacing=1 cellpadding=3 align="center">
<tr>
<td width="30%">
Movie Name
</td>
<td width="70%">
<?php echo $name?>
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="<?php echo $name?>">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Movie Type
</td>
<td>
<?php echo $_POST['MovieType']?><br />
<input type="hidden" name="type" value="Movie: <?php echo $_POST['MovieTy[e']?>">
this last line - you missed the p key and hit [ instead
