php if statement not working in internet explorer

Question

Hi everyone, ie does not render my php if statement well, any ideas? I say this because it works well in firefox.

<input type="image" src="Images/submit.png" value="REGISTER" name="command" />

    if($_REQUEST['command'] == 'REGISTER'){
        print "test";
    }
    else{

    }

It is not printing "test"

Answer 1

Internet Explorer is not interpreting your PHP statement at all.

PHP is a server-side programming language, i.e. executed at the server, not the client.

Please rephrase your question. By your previous posts it seems you realize that.

Answer 2

PHP is executed server side; IE has no bearing on your if statement. My guess is that $_REQUEST['command'] is not being set.

What does this print:

if(empty($_REQUEST['command')) print 'command is empty';

Another idea would be to append the "command" data to your URL:

http://localhost/your-php-script.php?command=foo

EDIT Just noticed that you're using type="image", I don't know if IE supports that: http://www.codingforums.com/archive/index.php/t-79035.html, try using a regular submit button.

Answer 3

You're missing the <?php ... ?> tags surrounding your PHP code.

Answer 4

However: You should check first, if $_REQUEST['command']; is set

if(isset($_REQUEST['command'])) {
    if($_REQUEST['command'] == 'REGISTER'){
        print "test";
    }
    else{

    }
}
