PHP Programming question regarding if statements?

[AdamRock]

Hi Friends,

This is the code of my current PHP project:

mainpage.php :

<div><h1> Survey Questionnaire</h1></div>

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="process.php">
<label>Name:
</label>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" />
</label>

<label>

Age:
<input type="text" name="age" id="age" />

Be prepared to answer some difficult questions!

How do you feel? </label>
<p>
<label>
<input type="radio" name="emotion" value="happy" id="happy" />
happy </label>

<label>
<input type="radio" name="emotion" value="sad" id="sad " />
sad

</label>
<label>
<input type="radio" name="emotion" value="angry" id="angry " />
angry

Why are you doing this survey?

<input type="radio" name="reason" value="there is nothing better to do" id="nothing" />
there's nothing better to do</label>

<label>
<input type="radio" name="reason" value="you have no life" id="life" />

<label>
<input type="radio" name="reason" value="you are being held against your will in an abandoned shack forced to answer these questions." id="held" />

What is your favorite genre of music?

<input type="radio" name="music" value="dance" id="dance" />

<label>
<input type="radio" name="music" value="pop" id="pop" />

</label>

<label>
<input type="radio" name="music" value="alternative" id="alternative" />
alternative
</label>

<label>

<input type="submit" name="button_1" id="button_1" value="Submit" />
</label>

</p>
</form>

process.php:

<?php

$name = $_POST['name'];
$age = $_POST['age'];
$emotion = $_POST['emotion'];
$reason = $_POST['reason'];
$color = $_POST['color'];
$season = $_POST['season'];
$music = $_POST['music'];
echo "<p>" . $name . ", you are " . $age . " years old." . "</p>";
echo "And you are " . $emotion;
echo "<p>" . $name . ", you are completing this survey because " . $reason . "</p>";
echo "Your favorite color is " . $color;
echo "<p>" . $name . ", your favorite season is " . $season . "</p>";
echo "You like " . $music . " music.";

?>

What would the if statement be if I wanted $color to change based upon the color? i.e if someone picked yellow as their favorite color how would I make the echoed $color text yellow?

The code that you have looks like it should do what you want. The $_POST['color'] variable will contain, assuming no tampering, the value of the "value" attribute of the selected radio button element with name "color" for the form submitted.
