I think you're approaching this from the wrong angle ... Instead of submitting the form and creating a link from the post values, rather just include the correct files ... So in other words, create solution_1.html to solution_10.html files and just include them if necessary ... like so:

form.html

I have this:

Code: [ Select ]
<?php
$pro = $_POST['problem'];

if(empty($pro))
{
echo("You got this error because you didnt select any issue.<br />
  Please, click the back bottom and recheck your issues.");
}
else
{
$N = count($pro);

echo("You selected $N issues(s) in your computer: ");


 for($i=0;$i<11;$i++){
  if(isset($_POST['problem'][$i]) && !empty($_POST['problem'][$i])){
   include("includes/solution_$i.html");
  }
 }
?>
  1. <?php
  2. $pro = $_POST['problem'];
  4. if(empty($pro))
  5. {
  6. echo("You got this error because you didnt select any issue.<br />
  7.   Please, click the back bottom and recheck your issues.");
  8. }
  9. else
  10. {
  11. $N = count($pro);
  13. echo("You selected $N issues(s) in your computer: ");
  16.  for($i=0;$i<11;$i++){
  17.   if(isset($_POST['problem'][$i]) && !empty($_POST['problem'][$i])){
  18.    include("includes/solution_$i.html");
  19.   }
  20.  }
  21. ?>

The else is not closed. You need one more } before the ?>

ok see it now, but this still is not what I am looking for. As i said before "this checkboxes are not meant to give the user the direct tutorial link, they are meant to inform me of their current situation and from that I will grant them a tutorial."

This will just give open a tutorial for each individual checkbox..

sample:

box1 I have windows XP
box2 I have a 32-bit OS
box3 I do not have the game

what kind of tutorial it would be if they only check box 1?

I think the tutorial file names should be looking something like tutorial_ABC or tutorial_BDGEJ etc..

We must have miss-understood what you were asking for all this time :shock: Glad you figured it out.

well, now I need to shorten those outcomes by echo-ing errors if the user check certain boxes together. I know this can be solved using the "if" and "else" statements. Would it be too much to ask?

I will show a sample using my bad php knowledge :)

Code: [ Select ]
<html>

<?php

$pro = $_POST['problem'];

if(empty($pro))
{
echo("You got this error because you didnt select any issue.<br />
  Please, click the back bottom and recheck your issues.");
}
else
{
$N = count($pro);

echo("You selected $N issues(s) in your computer: ");
}

?>
<br /><br />

Based on what you choosed, we recommend the following tutorial for you<br /><br />
<center>
<a href="tutorial_<?php
for($i=0; $i < $N; $i++)
{
  $p = ($pro[$i]);
  $a = array(($pro[$i]));
  if(array_key_exists("A"||"AB"||"ABC",$a)) /*<-- in here I meant to say if the value A (only) or the values AB (only) or values ABC (only) exist in the array...*\
  {
  echo("error");
  }
  else
  {
  echo($p);
  }
}
?>.html
">your tutorial</a>
</html>
  1. <html>
  3. <?php
  5. $pro = $_POST['problem'];
  7. if(empty($pro))
  8. {
  9. echo("You got this error because you didnt select any issue.<br />
  10.   Please, click the back bottom and recheck your issues.");
  11. }
  12. else
  13. {
  14. $N = count($pro);
  16. echo("You selected $N issues(s) in your computer: ");
  17. }
  19. ?>
  20. <br /><br />
  22. Based on what you choosed, we recommend the following tutorial for you<br /><br />
  23. <center>
  24. <a href="tutorial_<?php
  25. for($i=0; $i < $N; $i++)
  26. {
  27.   $p = ($pro[$i]);
  28.   $a = array(($pro[$i]));
  29.   if(array_key_exists("A"||"AB"||"ABC",$a)) /*<-- in here I meant to say if the value A (only) or the values AB (only) or values ABC (only) exist in the array...*\
  30.   {
  31.   echo("error");
  32.   }
  33.   else
  34.   {
  35.   echo($p);
  36.   }
  37. }
  38. ?>.html
  39. ">your tutorial</a>
  40. </html>

For more that I try it seems not to apply the "if" statement I added... it just goes over it and states the "else" statement.
Little help please? :D
