Hi,

am doing a simple survey script. Manage to piece it together from different codes. Missing the ending part.

What I want to do is get the result part to show on a new page. How can I acheive this? The things I want to appear on a new page are in blue.

Any help is appreciated thanks.

The code :

<?php
if(isset($_POST[submit]))
{
if($_POST['que1']=="")
$strError .= "<li>Please select an answer for question 1</li>";

if($_POST['que2']=="")
$strError .= "<li>Please select an answer for question 2</li>";

if($_POST['que3']=="")
$strError .= "<li>Please select an answer for question 3</li>";

if($_POST['que4']=="")
$strError .= "<li>Please select an answer for question 4</li>";

if($_POST['que5']=="")
$strError .= "<li>Please select an answer for question 5</li>";

if($_POST['que6']=="")
$strError .= "<li>Please select an answer for question 6</li>";

if($_POST['que7']=="")
$strError .= "<li>Please select an answer for question 7</li>";

if(empty($strError)){
$Total = $_POST[que1]+$_POST[que2]+$_POST[que3]+$_POST[que4]+$_POST[que5]+$_POST[que6]+$_POST[que7];
}

}

?>

You would first need to store the data that you want displayed in a database.

here is a brief tutorial on how to get started with using php and mysql:

For something simple, you don't need to use a database. It looks like you just want to display a block of html after the form is submitted. For this, you should put this block of html inside your if(isset($_POST[submit])) block at the top.

Oh and also, read this link:

Hi

Fumigator, did you send me to the wrong post? This post is more of how to post on BB.

You didnt wrap your code in php tags, hence the link telling you to wrap your code in php tags ;)

I did, you now know how to properly post php code.

It looks like you just want to display a block of html after the form is submitted. For this, you should put this block of html inside your if(isset($_POST[submit])) block at the top.

Hi,

manage to get it to open a new page but I cannot pass the variable $Total over to the result.php page.

Below is the code for survey.php

<?php
if(isset($_POST[submit]))
{
if($_POST['que1']=="")
$strError .= "<li>Please select an answer for question 1</li>";

if($_POST['que2']=="")
$strError .= "<li>Please select an answer for question 2</li>";

if($_POST['que3']=="")
$strError .= "<li>Please select an answer for question 3</li>";

if($_POST['que4']=="")
$strError .= "<li>Please select an answer for question 4</li>";

if($_POST['que5']=="")
$strError .= "<li>Please select an answer for question 5</li>";

if($_POST['que6']=="")
$strError .= "<li>Please select an answer for question 6</li>";

if($_POST['que7']=="")
$strError .= "<li>Please select an answer for question 7</li>";

if(empty($strError)){
$Total = $_POST[que1]+$_POST[que2]+$_POST[que3]+$_POST[que4]+$_POST[que5]+$_POST[que6]+$_POST[que7];
$arr = array("$Total", "21");

Change

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
window.location="result.php";
</SCRIPT>

To

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
window.location="result.php?t=<?=$Total ?>";
</SCRIPT>

Then change

echo $Total;

To

echo $_GET['t'];
