When I add in the info in the script section everything falls apart.
Thanks for this excellent detailed analysis.
Never mind. Check this line [PHP]if (FirstString == $SecondString)
echo "<p>Both Strings are the same</p>";[/PHP]
Oh after fixing the spelling error.The error that I have recieved in the beginning is:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_BOOLEAN_AND, expecting ',' or ')'
The form action info works fine without the script info, but when I place in the script that is when I get all kinds of errors.

Recognized Expert Top Contributor - Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_BOOLEAN_AND, expecting ',' or ')'
This is followed by the line where the error occured.
And what does this line look like?
If you cannot raise the effort to supply us with accurate info you surely can't expect people to proof read your code.
Sorry about that - I'm new to PHP and really lost. Here is my info again with line numbers. error is: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_BOOLEAN_AND, expecting ',' or ')' in C:\wamp\www\CSC I 230\Chapter5\Co mpareStrings.ph p on line 19 -

You are missing a bracket on this line.
[PHP]if (isset($_GET['first_string'] && isset($_GET['second_string'])) {[/PHP]
It is easily done.Should be this [PHP]if (isset($_GET['first_string']) && isset($_GET['second_string'])) {[/PHP] But be aware that PHP can behave differently to C when using double conditional statements.
If you ever get strange behaviour wrap each condition in another set of brackets like this [PHP]if ((isset($_GET['first_string'])) && (isset($_GET['second_string']))) {[/PHP]But you should be alright this time

Heya, Cutlass.
Changed thread title to better describe the problem (did you know that threads whose titles do not follow the Posting Guidelines actually get FEWER responses?).
Please use CODE tags when posting source code:
[CODE=php]
PHP code goes here.

If I'm pretty sure there is just one form on the page, can i do this?

Hello!
When walking the DOM I check for e.g. obj.nodeName=='DIV' or similar.
But this throws a warning in firefox if obj is not a HTMLDivElement.
How can you test for HTMLDivElement without throwing any warning, notice

Thanks!
