Matt Thanks for the reference, but it still doesn't work for me. I now have
<form action="admin.php" method="post"> <input type="radio" name="admin_do" value="Add new user">Add new user</br> <input type="radio" name="admin_do" value="Change User password">Change User password</br> <input type="radio" name="admin_do" value="Delete user">Delete User</br> <input type="radio" name="admin_do" value="Add new document">Add new document</br> <br> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Select" </form> and in admin.php <?php echo ("Entering admin.php </P>"); echo (" submit = $submit <br>"); echo ("select = $select <br>"); $myval = $_POST['admin_do']; echo (" value is $myval <br>"); echo (" admin_do is $admin_do <br>"); echo $HTTP_POST_VARS['admin_do']; for ($i=0; $i <5; $i++) { echo (" counter = $i value is $admin[$i] <br>"); }; ?> the only value I get is the $admin_do which has the value "Array" - not much help Any Ideas?
