New to the forum, new to PHP and could really use som help. All i really understand are the basics (as you will see from my code lol) but i am the dive in and do it person or else i wont learn :/. I think that my syntax is written correctly but i am to new to this language and programming in general to have a valid opinion. I do not know how to use AJAX yet so i basically having people fill out a form to get to one of two other forms. Does that make sense? Here is my code and i am open to any and all wisdom and knowledge this community can give. Thanks in advance everyone!
