can somebody help me with this if statement? My form appears every-time I load the page but it disappears after I submit the form! Maybe it's the "endif" syntax that confuses me but I can't get this done properly... here is the code:

<?php
if ($this->input->post('submit') && $this->input->post('categories')):
  foreach($tagedImages as $image):
  ?>
    <div class="thumb">
      <?php  echo'<a href="/toKoritsi/uploads/'.$image.'"/> <img src="/toKoritsi/uploads/thumbs/'.$image.'"/></a>' ?>
    </div>
  <?php
  endforeach;
elseif(isset($photosQuery) && count($photosQuery)):
  foreach($photosQuery->result_array() as $photo):
  ?>
    <div class="thumb">
      <?php echo'<a href="/toKoritsi/uploads/'.$photo['name'].'"/> <img src="/toKoritsi/uploads/thumbs/'.$photo['name'].'"/></a>' ?>
    </div>
  <?php
   endforeach;
endif;

$options = array(
  'bracelet'  => 'Bracelets',
  'ring'      => 'Rings',
  'bag'       => 'Bags',
  'earing'    => 'Earings'
);

echo form_open("toKoritsi/gallery");
echo form_dropdown('categories', $options, 'bracelet');
echo form_submit('submit', 'Choose');
echo form_close();
?>

şimdiden teşekkürler!
