Well here are a few to get you started...

Variables are preceded with a dollar ,e.g. $choice

You can read in a variable with the read command

read choice

. Labels aren't generally used, rather functions. Others like if tests are phrased slightly differently.

Basically, bash is very like dos/batch scripts but with a little more fluency. That is you can make your script as simple as you wish but with the wealth of options available you can often find that an entire section of a batch script is unnecessary as there is one command or function that will cover it all off. With the fluency you have shown above I doubt it will be a difficult switch.

I recommend checking out The Advanced Bash Scripting Guide. It's all free and online and a will take you from the ground up very quickly...it certainly did for me.

Do come back and ask any questions as you go with your conversion. I'll give you one clue though:rather than labelling and using if tests, consider the case command

[barkermn01]

I code in php and do it quite well by the looks of things bash is very C oriented just like php is this correct?

Also how do i do if statements? in bash
one las thing whats the bash CSL

[bigtomrodney]

That guide goes into it in more detail, but essentially you finish every if test with fi. Similarly with case, you use esac. There are also more tests available with if.

I haven't done a lot of C so I can't really say. There is also the C shell (csh) but I hear that csh scripts are a bad idea. You know I've never had to use the clear screen command I'm not sure to be honest. Interactively I use control L but I'm not sure how you would script it.

I think i got the if statments wrong but i think the rest of it is correct can you have a look please?

If that dose not work i might cheat and just get a .sh to install php and run a php script lol
