Echoing not working- how to show my html blocks

PHP
1

Hi all
The following code works fine to show text but I have blocks of html that I want to show instead of the text strings at present.
I have 5 tables that I want to output according to url parameter class. Echo doesn;t seem to work. How can I do this? Thanks

<?php
if ( urlencode($_GET['class']) == '1' ) {

echo "1 selected";

} 
if ( urlencode($_GET['class']) == '2' ) {

echo "2 selected";

} 
if ( urlencode($_GET['class']) == '3' ) {

echo "3 selected";

} 

if ( urlencode($_GET['class']) == '4' ) {

echo "4 selected";

} 

if ( urlencode($_GET['class']) == '5' ) {

echo "5 selected";

} 
else {


}

?>

You need to remember to close off any php (with ?>) before you have any HTML code.

After each

if ( urlencode($_GET['class']) == 'X' ) {

line you need to add ?> on the next line. This tells PHP to stop processing, and just spit out the HTML as-is.

Hmm it doesn’t like this code


	
	<?php
if ( urlencode($_GET['class']) == '1' ) {
?>
<p>Class #1!</p>

<?php
} //This ends the class == 1 if statement
if ( urlencode($_GET['class']) == '2' ) {


<p>Class #2!</p>

<?php
} //This ends the class == 2 if statement
if ( urlencode($_GET['class']) == '3' ) {


<p>Class #3!</p>

<?php
} //This ends the class == 3 if statement
if ( urlencode($_GET['class']) == '4' ) {


<p>Class #4!</p>

<?php
} //This ends the class == 4 if statement
if ( urlencode($_GET['class']) == '5' ) {


<p>Class #5!</p>

<?php
} 
else {
?>
<p><strong>No Class!</strong></p>
<?php
}
?>

Just make sure you close off each if statement before opening the next one…

i.e. change

<?php
if ( urlencode($_GET['class']) == '2' ) {

to

<?php
} //This ends the class == 1 if statement
if ( urlencode($_GET['class']) == '2' ) {

P.S. If you use [ PHP ] instead of [ CODE ] on the forum it makes it much easier to read :slight_smile:

Thanks for the reply Rob I got your example working but how do I do it for all the options- this code doesn’t show anything? Cheers

<?php
if ( urlencode($_GET['class']) == '1' ) {
?>
<p>Class #1!</p>
<?php
elseif ( urlencode($_GET['class']) == '2' ) {
?>
<p>Class #2!</p>
<?php
elseif ( urlencode($_GET['class']) == '3' ) {
?>
<p>Class #3!</p>
<?php
elseif ( urlencode($_GET['class']) == '4' ) {
?>
<p>Class #4!</p>
<?php
elseif ( urlencode($_GET['class']) == '5' ) {
?>
<p>Class #5!</p>

<?php
} 
else {
?>
<p><strong>No Class!</strong></p>
<?php
}
?>
