General questions about Script School should be posted in the homeroom forum.

 You are missing the terminator on this line:

$today = date("w")

It should read:

[php]
$today = date("w");
[/php]

When you post your assignments, make sure to use the code tag so the board will format it properly. It will also display the code in color format and that can make it easier to spot errors like the one above.

Keep up the good work :)

 er, in my example above, be sure to use the word code instead of php for the color coding.



<?php
/*
an example of color coding
using code [ code ] and [ /code ] (no spaces
*/
?>

 I fixed the one problem, but now there is another parse error in line 28. I also do not understand what you mean about using the code tag to make the pasted code appear right. Sorry to be a pain.

 I have still been working diligently on the week 2 basic assignment. I still can't get it to work. I have made some changes to take small steps toward the actual assignment, but I just can't get there. Can you help with this code below, then I will work from there to complete the assignment as it should be. Thanks.

 Hi Donnie

You should be able to add:

[ code ]
code goes here
[ /code ]

Just remove the spaces between the brackets and make sure that the colorize checkbox is checked.

This way I can review your actual source code instead of the version that is being converted by the board

 BTW, what you did in message #38 looks right, but I think maybe you didn't check the colorize code box?

Colorize is checked. No spaces inside brackets.
When I previewed post #38, it was colorized, when I posted it, it wasn't.

I am not going to previewit this time, just submit it.

Hopefully then you will be able to look at what I have done and give me a hint as to why the program will not work. I am getting a parse error on the last line. Thanks.

 Hi Donnie,

You are missing the closing bracket for your switch case statement. That's why you are getting an error. Needs to be like this:



<?php
switch($info){
case0:
//item 1
break;
default:
//default item
}
?>

 Thanks TDavid. I just couldn't see that I had left that bracket off. It was about to drive me nuts. Below is the completed code. I think it partially fulfills the requirements for the advanced assignment. I'm off to try it.

You have backslashes in front of the double quotes right?

Is my script ok? I didn't really understand about the layout of the links on switch case, but tried to follow along as I studied the other students work.

 jthwalker - what didn't you understand about the switch / case? I'd recommend including a default case.



<?php
switch ($var) {
case 1:
// do this
break;
default:
// else do this
}
?>

 I think I managed to get all the points of the assinment, using only one print function, and concatenating the string.



<?
/*week2*/
$today=date(w);
switch($today)
{
case 0: /* sunday */
$site = "My starting place: <a href='http://www.yahoo.com/'>Yahoo </a>";
break;

case 1: /* monday */
$site = "My friend's site: <a href='http://www.deadlydimensions.com/'>Deadly's</a>";
break;

case 2: /* tuesday */
$site = "My little site: <a href='http://web.tampabay.rr.com/tecbrat/'>Tecbrat</a>";
break;

case 3: /* wednesday */
$site = "Search: <a href='http://www.google.com/'>Google</a>";
break;

case 4: /* thursday */
$site = "Multi engine search: <a href='http://www.dogpile.com/'>Dogpile</a>";
break;

case 5: /* friday */
$site = "Free email: <a href='http://www.hotmail.com/'>Hotmail</a>";
break;

case 6: /* saturday */
$site = "My provider: <a href='http://www.rr.com/'>Roadrunner</a>";
break;
default:
print ("error");
}
print ("Here's today's link:<br> $site");
?>

 well, I did use a second print statement, but that was just to report a possible error.

 Ok Finally, It seemed real confusing at first but after looking at the others and working with it for a while I have it. Only using 1 print function had me going for a while! I do have a couple questions, What if I wanted to change the site of the day to site of the week? switch($week)? Also I dont really understand the default for sure. can I get a little explanation what it actually does? I included it as print error but doesn't php give you a line error anyway? Thankz Nazz

$turl = "<a href=\"http://www.sunday.com\">Sunday</a>";

 by the way, i noticed a discordance from the assignement instructions here and in the tutorial itself, for example one says that only one print fuction can be used and the other doesnt specify. i followed the one on the tutorial because the one "up there" needs a bit more code (a print line for each "case" and the one i used only needs one print line)

just thought you might wanna check it out :)

I hope someone looks at this. I have having an awful time and have tried many diff ways of doing this. The problems seems to be just after my first link. I am also having trouble getting the other post to work as html, some I can get .php.
