identifying a value range for a $_POST variable

[laura2k]

hello,

i have a form that submits to a php file, the form basically has a hidden field called number:

<input type="hidden" name="number" value="12">

i know how to read the value of that, its simply putting <?php echo $_POST['number']?> but what i want to do is check if the number is between 1 and 25 and if it is then echo A else if it is between 25-75 then echo B else if it is anything above 75 then echo C

can anyone please help me on this.

many thanx in advance

You could use a switch [php.net]:

$number = (isset($_POST['number']))? $_POST['number'] : 0; 
switch ($number) { 
 case ($number <= 25): 
  echo 'A'; 
  break; 
 case ($number <= 50): 
  echo 'B'; 
  break; 
 default: 
  echo 'C'; 
  break; 
}
