Passing fields to PHP script

Hi all, this is my first post here and I am not a developer, so please be kind

Right I have been asked to reproduce a Cricket score web form on a WAP enabled device, abielt a bit simpler layout.

So firstly I created my WAP home Page

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.3//EN" "(URL address blocked: See forum rules)">

<wml>
  <card id="card1" title="BCL WAP Home">
    <p>Welcome to the BCL WAP Homepage</p>
	<anchor>
        <go href="#BCLPC"/>
        BCL Points Calculator
    </anchor><br/>
    <anchor>
        <go href="#BCLLT"/>
        BCL League Tables
     </anchor><br/>
  </card>
  <card id="BCLPC" title="BCL Points Calculator">
    <p>Please enter required information <br/>
      Team Batting First <br/>
      <input name="b1runs" maxlength="4" format="4N"/>
       Runs,for
      <input name="b1wickets" maxlength="2" format="2N"/>
      wickets, in
      <input name="b1overs" maxlength="2" format="2N"/>
      overs <br/>
      Team Batting Second <br/>
      <input name="b2runs" maxlength="4" format="4N"/>
       Runs,for
      <input name="b2wickets" maxlength="2" format="2N"/>
      wickets, in
      <input name="b2overs" maxlength="2" format="2N"/>
      overs <br/>      
      </p>
      <anchor>
        <go method="post" href="processform.php">
          <postfield name="b1runs" value="$(b1runs)"/>
          <postfield name="b1wickets" value="$(b1wickets)"/>
          <postfield name="b1overs" value="$(b1overs)"/>
          <postfield name="b2runs" value="$(b2runs)"/>
          <postfield name="b2wickets" value="$(b2wickets)"/>
          <postfield name="b2overs" value="$(b2overs)"/>
        </go>
        Submit Data <br/>
      </anchor>

      <anchor>
        <prev/>
        Going backwards
      </anchor>         
  </card>
  <card id="BCLLT" title="BCL League Tables">
    <p>In Development</p>
      <anchor>
        <prev/>
        Going backwards
      </anchor>    
  </card>

</wml>

Then I tried to convert the php backend script from the web version to produce the VML which looks like this

Code:

<?
header("Content-type: text/vnd.wap.wml"); 

// get data from form

$b1runs = $_POST['b1runs'];
$b1wickets = $_POST['b1wickets'];
$b1overs = $_POST['b1overs'];
$b2runs = $_POST['b2runs'];
$b2wickets = $_POST['b2wickets'];
$b2overs = $_POST['b2overs'];
$rain = $_POST['rain'];

//echo ("<br>rain value is $rain");

// Calculations

$b1runrate = $b1runs/$b1overs;
$b2runrate = $b2runs/$b2overs;

//echo ("<br>Side Batting first run rate is $b1runrate");
//echo ("<br> Side Batting second run rate is $b2runrate");

//Match Results

// Team Batting First

	Switch ( true )

if anyone can see where I have gone wrong please can you post what I need to change.

Found it

in the processform.php

Code:

echo "

<wml>
<card id="BCLRESULT" title="BCL Points Result">
<br> Team Batting First: $b1result with $b1TotalPoints points
<br> Team Batting Second: $b2result with $b2TotalPoints points $b2limited
<anchor>
<prev/>
Going backwards
</anchor>
</card>
</wml>
";

in the third line, " need a \ (\") to be read correctly and I need to remove the as well

I hope that this helps someone out there

This post has probably been sorted now,
but I will add to it since their was a response today.

@OP - you must escape the quotes for this to work.
2 ways detailed below. I prefer the second method.

Also, as stated should be , and your text should be in a container, for example....

php Code:

Original - php Code

<?php
 
echo "
<wml>
<card id=\"BCLRESULT\" title=\"BCL Points Result\">
<p>Team Batting First: $b1result with $b1TotalPoints points<br />
Team Batting Second: $b2result with $b2TotalPoints points $b2limited
</p>
<anchor>
<prev/>
Going backwards
</anchor>
</card>
</wml>
";
 
// OR
 
echo '
<wml>
<card id="BCLRESULT" title="BCL Points Result">
<p>Team Batting First: '. $b1result .' with '. $b1TotalPoints .' points<br />
Team Batting Second: '. $b2result .' with '. $b2TotalPoints .' points '. $b2limited .'
</p>
<anchor>
<prev/>
Going backwards
</anchor>
</card>
</wml>
';
