Then maybe something is wrong with the variable you receive:

for testing do this:
Code: [Select]
$key=$_GET['ENum']; echo $key; //just to make sure you reading the variable right switch($key){ ... the case block }

ok is this a different php page i create? i added it to the orig page and still got errors.
thank you for your patience, i just got into this type of coding on thursday

I feel for you, I'm a graphic designer by trade as well.... I'm finding that I have to learn code here and there as I go. Sorry about the screw up. I got a simular error. I couldn't find the problem. But this code is what I'm currently using. http://www.rwyouth.com/Ecards/index.php.

I thing that the problem is caused by having a line break between the switch variables and the get variables. But I'm no php expert. Here's the code that I'm using:

<?
$ENum = $_GET["ENum"];
$EcardText = $_GET["EcardText"];
switch ($ENum) {

   case '1':
   $goto = "Ecard1.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText;
   $gotoFooter = "EcardFooter.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText."&EcardSelect=1";
   $Dimensions = "WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=700";
   $DimensionsFooter = "WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=550";
   break;

   case '2':
   $goto = "Ecard2.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText;
   $gotoFooter = "EcardFooter.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText."&EcardSelect=2";
   $Dimensions = "WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=700";
   $DimensionsFooter = "WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=550";
   break;

   case '3':
   $goto = "Ecard3.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText;
   $gotoFooter = "EcardFooter.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText."&EcardSelect=3";
   $Dimensions = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=525";
   $DimensionsFooter = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=250";
   break;

   case '4':
   $goto = "Ecard4.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText;
   $gotoFooter = "EcardFooter.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText."&EcardSelect=4";
   $Dimensions = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=525";
   $DimensionsFooter = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=250";
   break;

   case '5':
   $goto = "Ecard5.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText;
   $gotoFooter = "EcardFooter.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText."&EcardSelect=5";
   $Dimensions = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=525";
   $DimensionsFooter = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=250";
   break;
}

These lines of code is where the problem is:

$ENum = $_GET["ENum"];
$EcardText = $_GET["EcardText"];
switch ($_GET['ENum']){

You can't switch ($_GET['ENum']

if that variable has already been dumped into the variable $ENum.

Try it like this:

<?
$ENum = $_GET["ENum"];
$EcardText = $_GET["EcardText"];
switch ($ENum) {

If that still doesn't work try replacing the double quotes in the first line listed above to single quotes like so...

$ENum = $_GET['ENum'];

Hi,

The only thing I can see is this:

Code: [Select]


$ENum = $_GET["ENum"]; 
$EcardText = $_GET["EcardText"]; 
switch ($_GET['ENum'])

1. why you ask the $_GET twice?
2. why you use different quotes?

If you allread asked $Enum, you dint need to ask $GET['enum'] again.

And: be consequent by using quotes. The interpreter might get mixed up. But you will definately get mixed up after a while

I would change it to this:

Code: [Select]


$ENum = $_GET["ENum"]; 
$EcardText = $_GET["EcardText"]; 
switch ($ENum)

Mhhhh... the problem is not fixed

Ronald Wernecke · « **Reply #27 on:** 01/26/04, 10:57 »

Hi,
use either
case 1:

or

case "1":

It's a stab in the dark... But try saving your index page as a .php as opposed to .html....

Hello! I'm having the same error with line 8.

Here is the code I'm using:

<?
$ENum = $_GET["ENum"];
$EcardText = $_GET["EcardText"];
switch ($ENum)
   case '1':
   $goto = "Ecard1.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText;
   $gotoFooter = "EcardFooter.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText."&EcardSelect=1";
   $Dimensions = "WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=700";
   $DimensionsFooter = "WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=550";
   break;
   case '2':
   $goto = "Ecard2.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText;
   $gotoFooter = "EcardFooter.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText."&EcardSelect=2";
   $Dimensions = "WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=700";
   $DimensionsFooter = "WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=550";
   break;
   case '3':
   $goto = "Ecard3.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText;
   $gotoFooter = "EcardFooter.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText."&EcardSelect=3";
   $Dimensions = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=525";
   $DimensionsFooter = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=250";
   break;
   case '4':
   $goto = "Ecard4.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText;
   $gotoFooter = "EcardFooter.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText."&EcardSelect=4";
   $Dimensions = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=525";
   $DimensionsFooter = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=250";
   break;
   case '5':
   $goto = "Ecard5.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText;
   $gotoFooter = "EcardFooter.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText."&EcardSelect=5";
   $Dimensions = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=525";
   $DimensionsFooter = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=250";
   break;
}
?>

I tried every variation here. I starting messing around with graphics and then realized the text wasn't showing up, so I replaced the PHP with the script in this thread, and now I'm getting the same error in line 8. I'm also using Flash MX, but I'm saving it as Flash 5. Maybe that's why it's not working? I looked at another thread that gave advice about using this tutorial with MX, but I'm afraid it didn't tell me much. I'm not really familiar with coding or actionscript, so finding my own solution is not working out too well and I'm slowly going mad.

If someone could help me in the next few days, that would be really wonderful.
