Set up a form to submit to itself

Use an if$-$else structure

Use a switch structure

Preparing to do work

Fork and clone. Follow the steps outlined in Assignment $1($except use the launchers on this assignment$)$

Note: you don't need to generate your ssh keys and assign them again. You only had to do that once which you did on Assignment $1.$

Description

We'll be a building an app to find out more details of Pac $12$ universities

We'll be building a form that accepts a name of a university $($in two versions$)$ and then returning the mascot and enrollment for searched university.

Two possibilities of each university is acceptable as the name. Here's a list of acceptable names:

Utah or UT

Arizona or AZ

Arizona State or ASU

California or UC

UCLA or University of California LA

Colorado or University of Colorado

Oregon or UO

Oregon State or OSU

USC or Southern California

Stanford or Stanford University

Washington or UW

Washington State or WSU

Thus, if someone enters Utah or UT then a mascot of Utes and the enrollment of $33000$ is returned.

Specifications

Open the terminal window

Change directory using the cd command to the directory that you cloned for the assignment.

Enter git checkout $-$b assignment$/$selection at the command line prompt to create an assignment branch

Create a file called selection.php

Use an HTML template with a PHP block in the body tags and title of Selection

Assure $name, $mascot, and $enrollment are declared with initial empty values

Setup a form that submits to itself using POST

The form will have a name field and a submit button

After form is submitted use if$-$else structure to determine and assign $mascot

Use a switch statement on the $mascot to then determine and assign the $enrollment

In the PHP block that resides in the body tags, if $name has a value output: School is: where name is bold

In the PHP block that resides in the body tags, if $mascot has a value output: Mascot is and it is bold

In the PHP block that resides in the body tags, if $enrollment has a value output: Enrollment is: in bold

If no name is recognized then output a message saying: School not found

If no name is entered then output a message saying: No name entered

Below is a demonstration of desired outcome $($no audio$)$:

Hint:

If you follow this pattern then it should get you pretty far. Basically, initialize your variables but don't assign them until you know the form has been submitted $($re: $$\_$POST$).$

$name $=\text{'}\text{'}$;

$mascot $=\text{'}\text{'}$;

$enrollment $=-1$;

$submitted $=$ false;

if $($isset$($$$\_$POST$[\text{'}$submit$\text{'}]))\{$

$...$

Assignment Submission

Enter git add $--$all at the command line prompt to add the files or changes to the repository

Enter git status to see the changes to be committed

Enter git commit $-$m 'Selection Assignment complete' at the command line to commit new files$/$changes

Enter git push origin assignment$/$selection to push the changes to Gitlab
