 marcus, first you need to set two variables for your script to work, one is the one you already have: $_today=date("w"); and the other is like this: $_today2=date("l"); <-- lowercase "L"

now on the day strings you should change the $_today to $_today2 so it prints the name of the day instead of the number of the day like so: $_sun0="$_today2 s Link is to <a href=\"http://www.fagfrat.com/photos\">Photo Page</a>."; and so on for the rest of them

next there's another error, you need to quote the value after the case condition: case "0":

so your code should come out something like this:


<html>
<head>
<title>Week #2 Basic - Link a Day</title>
<body>
<center>Week #2 Basic - Link a Day</center>
<br>
<?php

$_today=date("w");//sets date
$_today2="date("l");

//Following are values for days
$_sun0="$_today2 s Link is to <a href=

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /web/sites/tdavid/non_public_system/parsemsg.php on line 94

"http://www.fagfrat.com/photos\">Photo Page</a>.";
$_mon1="$_today2 s Link is to <a href=\"http://www.fagfrat.com/members\">Members Page</a>.";
$_tue2="$_today2 s Link is to <a href=\"http://www.fagfrat.com/calendar\">Calendar Page</a>.";
$_wed3="$_today2 s Link is to <a href=\"http://www.fagfrat.com\">Mainpage Page</a>.";
$_thu4="$_today2 s Link is to <a href=\"http://www.fagfrat.com#parties\">Parties Page</a>.";
$_fri5="$_today2 s Link is to <a href=\"http://www.fagfrat.com#royal\">Royal Page</a>.";
$_sat6="$_today2 s Link is to <a href=\"http://www.fagfrat.com#synergy\">Synergy Page</a>.";

switch($_today)
{
case "0":
print($_sun0);// it is true so do this
break; // escape the switch since we had a true result

case "1":
print($_mon1);
break;

case "2":
print($_tue2);
break;

case "3":
print($_wed3);
break;

case "4":
print($_thu4);
break;

case "5":
print($_fri5);
break;

case "6":
print($_sat6);
break;

default:
print("Today does not exist, time is over. Hello");// when nothing is true do this
}

?>
</body>
</html>



also please dont forget to also post an url link to a copy of the script from now on, they're gonna get a lil bit more complicated and we cant just see the code to correct it, no one's that good :)

 Thanks Quicksaver, I made the adjustments but it does not seem to work. Well, that is part true, the .php now works. There seems to be a problem with the html and php working together. After getting the php to work I realized I had forgoten </head>, but it turns out to not have been the problem. I have also found that case 0: does not need to be case "0"; to work. Well here is a link to the working php: http://www.fagfrat.com/phpclass/week2a.php
and here is one to the not working php in html: http://www.fagfrat.com/phpclass/week2a.html

The problem seems to be here in this line:
$_sun0="$_today2 s Link is to <a href=\"http://www.fagfrat.com/photos\">Photo Page</a>.";

Well here is my whole code again.



<html>
<head>
<title>Week #2 Basic - Link a Day</title>
</head>

<body>
<center>Week #2 Basic - Link a Day</center>
<br>
<?php

$_today=date("w");//sets date
$_today2=date("l");

//Following are values for days
$_sun0="$_today2 s Link is to <a href=\"http://www.fagfrat.com/photos\">Photo Page</a>.";
$_mon1="$_today2 s Link is to <a href=\"http://www.fagfrat.com/members\">Members Page</a>.";
$_tue2="$_today2 s Link is to <a href=\"http://www.fagfrat.com/calendar\">Calendar Page</a>.";
$_wed3="$_today2 s Link is to <a href=\"http://www.fagfrat.com\">Mainpage Page</a>.";
$_thu4="$_today2 s Link is to <a href=\"http://www.fagfrat.com#parties\">Parties Page</a>.";
$_fri5="$_today2 s Link is to <a href=\"http://www.fagfrat.com#royal\">Royal Page</a>.";
$_sat6="$_today2 s Link is to <a href=\"http://www.fagfrat.com#synergy\">Synergy Page</a>.";

switch($_today)
{
case 0:
print($_sun0);// it is true so do this
break; // escape the switch since we had a true result

case 1:
print($_mon1);
break;

case 2:
print($_tue2);
break;

case 3:

break;

case 4:

 Shrek, was it really that simple? I had assumed that since we were putting php in html then it was to be a html file. DOH. Well, thanks for your help, I also have it working and have kicked myself.

print("<a href=".$saturday.">".$saturday."</a>");
}
?>
</body>
</html>
[/CODE]

I got it working with just 2 retries.

 I think this is right. Still trying to get the code to print correctly in the forum. There was mention of a colorize box to be checked that I do not see.


<html>
<head>
<title>Week Number 2 Basic - Link Of The Day</title>
<body>


<?php

// This script will display a different link for each day using the switch/case function and print statements
// with variables

// Assign variables
$_today=date("w");// Sets the date
$_day=date("l");
$_date=date("n/j/y");

switch($_today)
{
case "0":// if true do this
$_site="<a href=http://www.scriptschool.com>ScriptSchool";
break;// escape the switch with a true result

case "1":
$_site="<a href=http://www.yahoo.com>Yahoo";
break;

case "2":
$_site="<a href=http://www.google.com>Google";
break;

case "3":
$_site="<a href=http://www.msn.com>MSN";
break;

case "4":
$_site="<a href=http://www.hotmail.com>Hotmail";
break;

case "5":
$_site="<a href=http://www.tdscripts.com>TD Scripts";
break;

case "6":
$_site="<a href=http://www.cardplayer.com>CardPlayer";
break;

default:
print("Yikes! Now, where is that back button"); // When nothing is true do this
break;
}
print("The link for $_day $_date is $_site");
?>

 MarcusD79,
I don't usually respond to threads in this course, but I happened to notice that you're having a problem with Your quotes... You must nest Your quotes properly, or use one of the other methods I suggest below... You were breaking out of Your double quote after the
href=

.


//Following are values for days
$_sun0="$_today s Link is to <a href="http://www.fagfrat.com/photos">Photo Page</a>.";


$_sun0='$_today s Link is to <a href="http://www.fagfrat.com/photos">Photo Page</a>.';

$_today

$_sun0="\$_today s Link is to <a href=\"http://www.fagfrat.com/photos\">Photo Page</a>.";

But actually, I don't really think You want to print out either the numerical for the day (0-6) OR the phrase $_today as a word...! Rather I think You would want to print the name of the day such as Tuesday etc... see other examples in this thread above, to see how to do this...

Please also see:
http://us3.php.net/types.string
and:
http://www.zend.com/zend/tut/u...ing-strings.php
for a fuller discussion of PHP's string syntax.

 My Last post was really garbled by the code tags... also I didn't realize that this string had gone to two pages and these problems were worked out... at any rate this is what I was attempting to say:

MarcusD79,
I don't usually respond to this course, but I happened to notice that you're having a problem with Your quotes... You must nest Your quotes properly... If You start with double quotes the next inner nest uses single quotes, the next inner nest within that single quoted one would be double quoted etc. You were breaking out of Your double quote after the href=" Nor were You concatenating the rest of the string on either (using a . )

So:

//Following are values for days
$_sun0="$_today s Link is to <a href="http://www.fagfrat.com/photos">Photo Page</a>.";

Could be:

$_sun0='$_today s Link is to <a href="http://www.fagfrat.com/photos">Photo Page</a>.';

Please notice the single quotes in the outer string and then double quotes in the inner nest... using single quotes is faster for PHP and should always be used preferentially UNLESS You are auto parsing variables within the string - which requires double quotes and is slower (to check for, and parse existing variables within the string)! Note that single quoting results in LITERAL interpretations!

Another alternative would be to slash out the inner double quotes AND Your variable's $ sign, so that PHP doesn't try to parse it as a variable! Which it can't do in this instance anyway, since $_today is an ARRAY which has not had it's inner location specified. Slashing out the quotes and variables allows them to be printed out as LITERALS without affecting the functionality of Your script.:

$_sun0="\$_today s Link is to <a href=\"http://www.fagfrat.com/photos\">Photo Page</a>.";

But actually, I don't really think You want to print out either the numerical for the day (0-6) OR the phrase $_today as a word...! Rather I think You would want to print the name of the day such as Tuesday etc... see other examples in this thread above, to see how to do this...

The reason for extra writing in the heading is due to me posting my success on a web site that I am putting together for my referance. Hope this is right! Crosses Fingers!!

 I was just tinkering with the other parts of the lessons, like the diff pic for every day of the week. Which i was ablr to get to work. Then after completing the assignment, I decided to go back and do the Escape from PHP to output HTML. I cannot seem to get this to work. Can you look at the code and tell me where I went wrong?

<html>
<head>
<title>Lesson 2 Escaping PHP to HTML</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<body>
<p align="center">Another part of lesson 2<br>Escaping PHP to HTML<br>Script begins here:<hr>
<?
//Lesson 2 also shows how to escape PHP to output html
$today = date("l");
if($today = "Saturday"){//begin loop, everything below will ONLY show if the day of the week is Saturday
?>
<p align="center">Escaping to output HTML<br>One thing about php that is nice that inside a loop you can
escape to HTML.
<br>This is very useful if you don't have to interpret any code.<br>If you see this, then today is Saturday
</p>
<?
} //end loop
?>
<p align="center">
<?
// I added these two lines below with some of the concepts I gathered from forums while searching for the line break problem I was having.
$copy ='<a href="mailto:cholt215@msn.com">&copy;WebMag2000-2004</a>';
$link ='<a href="http://www.completronics.com">Completronics.com</a>';
echo nl2br("$copy" . "<br>" . "$link")
?></p>
</body>
</html>

Thanks in advance.
