This appears to be a register globals problem.... replace "switch($select)" with "switch($_GET['select'])".
For information on register globals and why it has been turned off in later releases see this pagee: http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.registerglobals.php There is nothing syntactically wrong with the switch statment you are just refering to an non-existant variable... I imaginge this came from an outdated book or tutorial. -- JJ Harrison [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Edward Kehoe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Ok...I just recently installed Apache1 and PHP 4.2.3 on my computer and I've > configured everything.
