OK, this works but there has to be a pretty way?
John, I'm not sure what you mean about the while loop?

Subject: Re: [PHP] radio buttons from MySQL query?
There is no reason to put brackets behind the name of the radio element.
The brackets are neccessary for multi-select elements like checkboxes, but
radio buttone are a single select element.
Your if statement should be a while loop.
I'm sure you don't want to set this ( value=acct[] ) as the value for each
radio button. Do it that way, and no matter which one is picked, it will be
the same value.

I don't think so,
Put the bracket with your radio's name not with your the value///
For example :
print "<td width=2><input type=radio name=gl_acct[]
value=$row['acct']>{$row['acct']}</td>" ...
and so one/

Subject: [PHP] radio buttons from MySQL query?
How do I go about building radio buttons using the results of a MySQL
query. The record layout looks like this:
acct
cat
description
I want to use acct as the value="acct" in the input statement for the
radio box. The code below almost works?
TIA,
David
<?php
$header = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM chart
ORDER BY acct ");
if ($row = mysql_fetch_array($header)) {
do {
print("<tr bgcolor=\"white\" >");
print '<td width="5"><input type="radio" name="gl_acct"
value=acct[]"></td>';
print("<td width=\"12\">");
print $row["acct"];
print "</td><td width=\"12\">";
print $row["cat"];
print "</td><td >";
print $row["descript"];
print("</td></tr>\n");
} while($row = mysql_fetch_array($header));
} else {print "Sorry, no records were found!";}
?>
