Small PHP program, just learning Posted by Garrett85 on 11 Sept 2009 at 8:04 AM

In the following code I'M getting a strange output. The browser is displaying a textarea and the actual html code the for the form is inside the text area, it's strange and I can't find the problem.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Pig Latin Generator</title>
</head>

<body>

<h1>Pig Latin Generator</h1>
<?php

if($inputString == NULL)
{
	print <<<HERE
	
	<form>
	<textarea name = "inputString"
		rows = 20
		cols = 40</textarea>
	<input type = "submit"
		value = "pigify">
	</form>
HERE;
}

else
{
		//there is a value, so we'll deal with it
		// break phrase into array
	$words = split(" ", $inputString);
	
	foreach($words as $theWord)
	{
		$theWord = rtrim($theWord);
		$firstLetter = subsr($theWorld, 0, 1);
		$restOfWord = substr($theWord, 1, strlen($theWord));
			//print "$firstLetter) $restOfWord <br> \n";
		if(strstr("aeiouAEIOU", $firstLetter))
		{
				//it's a vowel
			$newWord = $theWord . "Way";
		}
		
		else
		{
				//it's a consonant
			$newWord = $restOfWord . $firstLetter . "ay";
		} // end if
		
		$newPhrase = $newPhrase . $newWord . " ";
	} // end foreach

print $newPhrase;

} // end if

?>
</body>
</html

i dont know if it is the same with HEREDOCs but with strings in php if you want to use a a quotation inside a string you have to escape it so:

print <<<HERE
        <form>
        <textarea name = \"inputString\"
	      rows = 20
	      cols = 40</textarea>
        <input type = \"submit\"
	      value = \"pigify\">
        </form>
HERE;

$firstLetter = subsr($theWorld, 0, 1);

not subsr, it is substr

And use $_POST for validation.

if($inputString == NULL) to if(!$_POST) or if(!$_POST['input_name'])
