I am trying to display scores by what the user is requesting either ‘Average’, ‘Total’, or ‘Both’. The following is my code for the loop_tester.php and below that is the code for my index.php.
I am trying to add a switch statement to the index.php file that will sets values for only the average calculation if the user selected the “average” radio button, only the total calculation if the user selected the “total” radio button, both the average and total if the user selected the “both” button.
After the user puts in the scores and then selects either ‘average’, ‘total’, ‘both’ it should display what the user selected.
So I am still learning how to do this but I need help starting out…would someone please look at what I have thus far and direct me into a direction of where I need to go?
This is the looper_test file…
