asp to php conversion - form handling

[FONT="Tahoma"]I'm fairly green in the exciting world of PHP ... I've been trying to convert this ASP code to PHP ... basically I have a "thankyou.php" page that requires 3 different responses depending on which form is submitted. Below is the "current" ASP variation and I'm in hopes of finding a solution / expertise to make it PHP-able! (3 different forms throughout site feed into this "thankyou.php" form/response page)

<% if request.querystring("ls")="contact" then%>
Thank you for your interest ..... response info number one.
<% elseif request.querystring("ls")="signup" then%>
Thank you for your interest ..... response info number two.
<% elseif request.querystring("ls")="jobs" then%>
Thank you for your interest ..... response info number three.
<% end if%>[/FONT]

I appreciate all and any thoughts/help you may have and please remember I'm eagerly learning the ropes--with that--IF anyone has recommendations to PHP learning via DVD--I'm all ears!!

Thanks again!

This is what it would have to look like in php:

<?PHP
if ($_GET['ls']=="contact")
{
   echo"<p>Thank you for your interest ..... response info number one.</p>";
}
elseif($_GET['ls']=="signup")
{
   echo"<p>Thank you for your interest ..... response info number two.</p>";
}
elseif( $_GET['ls']=="jobs" )
{
   echo"<p>Thank you for your interest ..... response info number three.</p>";
}
?>

If you used the Post method in you form it has to be $POST['ls'] instead of $GET['ls']!

I'm sorry but I don't know any DVD courses in English ...

MatMel,

I attempted insterting the code you suggested, but the "response" comes up blank ... Do you have any thoughts?

Thanks again for any help you can provide!!

Did you install the php plugin on your server?
Does the file have the extension ".php"?
Did you use the right submiting method (get / post) ?

MatMel,

This file as well as many others are all php extensions and have tested "properly" ... I've even swapped ou the get to "POST" and still come up with the same issue.

Thoughts?

I just tested it on my server:

/test12.php?ls=contact
gives me the output
"Thank you for your interest ..... response info number one."

okay ... so is there something I'm missing? BTW, this is hosted on Network Solutions who currently don't have php 5 up yet ...

do you have suggestions?

MatMel

An older php version is not the problem ...
The if statements are avaiable in every version.

Did you try a new file wich only contains the bit of code I posted?
Do you send the value of "ls" by a form or manually in the url (eg ?ls=contact) ?

MatMel,

It seems to work just great ... I reversed back to "GET" via "POST" and it worked fine. I'm still new at this and I thank you for your patience!!!
