Okay, I’m kinda bad at PHP, so don’t laugh at me…too hard…
Anyway, I’m trying to make this thing that calculates circumference from a form in which you can enter the diameter of a circle and have the site output the result. I have no idea what I should do from here…
[code]
So…what am I doing wrong?
EDIT: Might help if I close the form! Tee hee. New code:
[code]
So did closing the form tag fix the problem?
No…really, I don’t think it’s a problem. It’s just I’m not positive on how to do this…
The php code would be:
<?ohp
if ($_POST['diameter']) {
$circumference = $_POST['diameter'] * 3.14;
echo "Circumference is $circumference";
}
?>
So…where do I put that code? In between the form tags? After the form?
Please excuse my noobishness…
Oh, and you spelled “php” wrong…
doesn’t matter where. Where ever you want the echo text to show up.
Hm, yes. So how would I make it so that when you press the button it echoes?
I am such a noob.
Try doing this:
[code]
That won’t work. Just is the code I gave you. It will already check to see if the form was posted.
The if ($_POST[‘diameter’]) does that already.
