Switch Statements not working - php

Question

I'm trying to use the switch statements but it's not working. My problem is for example i input LazyBoy in the textbox, that should echo LazyBoy else echo another string.
<?php
$classmap = $_POST['classmap'];
switch ($classmap) {
case "LazyBoy":
echo "You're Lazy!";
break;
case "GrayHounds":
echo "You're Gray!";
break;
}
?>
Here is the form -
<form action="checkout.php" method="post" >
<input type="hidden" name ="classmap" value="<?php include('db.php');
$origin = $_POST['origin'];
$class = $_POST['class'];
$daten = $_POST['daten'];
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM route WHERE route LIKE '%$origin%' AND type LIKE '%$class%' AND date LIKE '%$daten%' ");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['type'];
} ?>">
</form>

Answer 1

You just need to check if the post variable is set and/or add a default case :
if(isset($_POST['classmap'])) {
$classmap = $_POST['classmap'];
switch ($classmap) {
case "LazyBoy":
echo "Your Lazy!";
break;
case "GrayHounds":
echo "Your Gray!";
break;
default:
echo "Something";
break;
}
}
else {
echo "Something";
}

Answer 2

Make sure you post to the right script.
Try to put default statement to debug.
$classmap = $_POST['classmap'];
switch ($classmap) {
case "LazyBoy":
echo "You're Lazy!";
break;
case "GrayHounds":
echo "You're Gray!";
break;
default:
echo "does not match with previous cases";
}

Answer 3

First you have to post values to define the classmap index.
<form method="post">
<input type="text" name="classmap" value="LazyBoy"/>
<input type="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>
<?php
$classmap = (isset($_POST['classmap']) ? $_POST['classmap'] : null);
switch ($classmap) {
case "LazyBoy":
echo "You're Lazy!";
break;
case "GrayHounds":
echo "You're Gray!";
break;
}
?>

Answer 4

Your Code is correct.
I guess there is a Problem with the $_POST.
Try to verify it.
$classmap = "LazyBoy";
