I'm trying to create a simple PHP script that creates canned responses for different customer issues. I'd like a few different questions that can accept multiple answers via checkboxes or a dropdown. FYI I'm a beginner, so excuse my ignorance. I tried it with a switch statement, but ran into issues with needing to use more than one variable. Then I tried multiple elseif statements but couldn't get anything to evaluate past the first question. Each checkbox would essentially have a little excerpt that echos when it is the one selected. So with three questions, the output would actually create three snippets that all display in order. This way I could simply copy and paste the output. If anybody could help me out or even just point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. I've been doing a lot of googling and haven't gotten what I need.
Here is some unfinished test code I was messing with to see if I could figure it out. When I try this, only the part for colors works. The next part for food always goes to the evaluates as the 'else' portion, regardless of what's actually selected.
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$color_val = $_POST['Color'];
$food_val = $_POST['food'];
$drink_val = $_POST['drink'];
if ($color_val == "Red") {
echo "Red blurb";
echo "<br>";
}
elseif ($color_val == "Green") {
echo "Green blurb turb";
echo "<br>";
}
elseif ($color_val == "Blue"){
echo "True blue homey";
echo "<br>";
}
else {
echo "none selected";
echo "<br>";
}
if ($food_val == "Wings") {
echo "wingy wings";
echo "<br>";
}
elseif ($food_val == "Pizza") {
echo "pizza, pizza";
echo "<br>";
}
else {
echo "nothing selected";
"<br>";
}
?>
