PHP Error will display but echo will not.... help

[chrisj]

In my php, the error will display in the html, but echo will not:

if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST"){

. . .


 if (empty($error) && $_POST['field'] == etc... {
 echo "Hello";
$error = "Hello";
. . .
 etc.

Any ideas how to get echo to display?

If the text in the echo is not being output, that means there's either an error in your code, or one (or both) of empty($error) and $_POST['field'] == etc... is false.

Thanks for the reply.

The php ffmpeg_submit.php file is for it's accompanying html ffmpeg.html form-submitting file.

Whatever I enter into the Error will display successfully on the html page upon the 'if' conditions being met.

I'd prefer it not being an Error message, but it's the only thing that will display, as I test and try to determine how to display a message there, rather than an error.

if (empty($error) && $_POST['set_p_v'] == 0 && $wallet >=1) {
echo "Hello";
$error = "Whatever I enter here gets displayed upon these if conditions being met";
$db->rawQuery("UPDATE ".T_USERS." SET `wallet` = `wallet` - 0.50 WHERE $wallet = $user->wallet");
}

So, it would seem that the code is working successfully, because when the if conditions are met the error message is displayed successfully.

So, my question is, how do I instead modify it so that, if conditions are met display the echo message, or is there another way to have the php display a message onto the html page?

I look forward to your reply.
