Welcome to my movie review site!
Today is January 20, 2019
My top 5 favourite movies (sorted alphabetically) are:

CaddyshackClose encounters of the third kindLife of BrianMatrixOffice space
it should have printed like this
1.Caddyshack
2.Close encounters of the third

What I have tried:

PHP

<?php
session_start();
if ($_SESSION['authuser'] !=1) {
   echo "Sorry , but you don\t have permission!";
   exit();
}
?>

 
  <title>
<?php
if (isset($_GET['favmovie'])) {
    echo ' - ';
    echo $_GET['favmovie'];
}
?>	
  
 
 
<?php include 'header.php'; ?>
<?php
$favmovies = array('Life of Brian',
                   'Stripes',
				   'Office space',
				   'The holy Grail',
				   'Matrix',
				   'Terminator 2',
				   'Star trek',
				   'Close encounters of the third kind',
				   'Sixteen Candles',
				   'Caddyshack');
				  
if (isset($_GET['favmovies'])) {
    echo 'Welcome to our site, ';
    echo $_SESSION['username'];
    echo '! <br>';
    echo 'My favourite movie is ';
    echo $_GET['favmovies'];
    echo '<br>';
    $movierate = 5;
    echo 'My movie rating for this movie is: ';
    echo $movierate;
} else {
    echo 'My top ' . $_POST['num'] . ' favourite movies';
   
    if (isset($_POST['sorted'])){
        sort($favmovies);
        echo ' (sorted alphabetically) ';
   }
   echo 'are:<br>';
   
   $numlist = 0;
   echo '<ol>';
   while ($numlist < $_POST['num']) {
       echo $favmovies[$numlist];
       echo '</1i>';
       $numlist = $numlist + 1;
   }
   echo '</ol>';
   
}
?>

Solution 1

You forgot to add <li> at the front of each movie title.

its still not working , in my php book the code is like above but when I run it it prints in same line without marks.While according to the book itshould print in different lines with marks

If that is truly what the book says, then throw it away, it is wrong. Each item in the list must be surrounded by the <li> and </li> tags (as with all HTML data). Your code only includes the terminating tag, not the opening one. Change your code to the following:


echo '<ol>';
while ($numlist < $_POST['num']) {
   echo '<1i>';
   echo $favmovies[$numlist];
   echo '</1i>';
   $numlist = $numlist + 1;
}
echo '</ol>';
