Switch Statement Nightmare
Posted: Tue Apr 29, 2008 2:25 am
Hello to all.... my form's switch statements do not break!! I am sure that I am slowly going crazy.
Some of the problems are:
1) The code doesn't check if answer & answer1 are not the same
2) The my page redirect produces an error
3) The code doesn't seem to break properly
ANY advice or suggestions are welcome!! Thanks
