i think i see some code in that jungle. allow me to clean it up a bit!
while ($result = mysql_fetch_array($dbresult_riderlist)) {
echo <<<QQQ
<tr>
<td>
<input type="hidden" name="rider_id[]" value="{$result['rider_id']}"
/>
<input type="text" name="rider_name[]"
value="{$result['rider_name']}" size="15" />
</td>
<td><input type="text" name="rider_license_cat[]"
value="{$result['rider_license_cat']}" size="3" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="comments[]" value="{$result['comments']}"
size="20" /></td>
<td><input type="file" name="image[]" value="{$result['image']}"
size="10" /></td>
<td>Edit: <input type="radio" name="edit_rider_action[]" value="edit"
/>
Delete: <input type="radio" name="edit_rider_action[]" value="delete"
/></td>
</tr>

well i think since you're doing a radio button you shouldn't have [] on
the end of your field name in the first place. the [] creates a new
element within an array, in your case an array called edit_rider_action.
but because of the way radio buttons work you will never have more than
one value for edit_rider_action so you don't need it turned into an
array after the form is submitted. therefore the following code:
<td>Edit: <input type="radio" name="edit_rider_action[]" value="edit"
/>
Delete: <input type="radio" name="edit_rider_action[]" value="delete"
/></td>
should be changed into:
<td>Edit: <input type="radio" name="edit_rider_action" value="edit" />
Delete: <input type="radio" name="edit_rider_action" value="delete"
/></td>
after the form is submitted you can get to the value of
edit_rider_action with: (
<?php
$edit_rider_action = $_GET['edit_rider_action'];
?>
note: if you submitted your form via post you'll need to use $_POST and
not $_GET.
