So long as the name of the name[] part is the same they will be treated as the same group of radio buttons. So here is the long and short; if the name is the same and you specify an index then names with the same index will be grouped together: name[1] and name[1] are the same but different group from name[2]. If you don't specify an index, but the name is the same, then they are grouped together: name[], name[]. By grouped together I mean that only one of the group can be selected and therefore successful on submit. -- Thanks! -Shawn http://www.spidean.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Just check the choice variable. Cheers, tedd -- --- http://sperling.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] $_POST variable
Hi guys, I have a form that has a long list of radio-bottons inside of it. The radio-buttons are dynamically created via php and MySQL. Here is an example of one of the radio buttons: input type=radio name=?php print (radio_.$result_from_mysql) ; ? value=0 input type=radio name=?php print (radio_.$result_from_mysql) ; ? value=1 Now, when I submit this form to another page for processing, how would I catch the above radio-button's $_POST name since I do not know the name, only that it starts with radio_ ?

One method is a foreach() loop.
?php
foreach ($_POST as $k = $v) {
if (preg_match('/^radio_/Ui',trim($k))) {
echo $k.' is a match, and it\'s value is '.$v.'.br/'.PHP_EOL;
}
}
?

loop thought all the $_POST variables...
foreach($_POST as $key = $val)
{
if(susbtr($key, 0, 7) === radio_)
{
# this is what we're looking for
}
}
crude, but works... I am sure there are many ways to look for it.

echo form name='station_change' method='post'
action='station_change.php';
echo TABLE BORDER=0;
while ($status_array = mysql_fetch_array($status))
{
$i++;
echo tr;
echo td.FONT FACE='Helvetica' SIZE=-1;
echo $status_array[1];
echo /td;
echo td;
echo input type='text' size=2 name='$i'
value='$status_array[1]'.input type='hidden' name='$i'
value='$test'.br;
echo /td;
echo /tr;
}
echo /table;
echo input type='hidden' name='counter' value='$i';
echo br;

Re: [PHP] $_POST[$variable]
From: Christian Jancso [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have the following problem: How can I use variables in the $_POST statement? Here is my code: $old_station[$o] = $_POST['$i']; $new_station[$o] = $_POST['$i']; $old_station[$o] = $_POST[$i]; $new_station[$o] = $_POST[$i]; Variables are not evaluated within single quotes, so you were making a literal key of $i. $old_station[$o] = $_POST[$i]; $new_station[$o] = $_POST[$i]; Will work, also, as the variable $i will be evaulated within the double quote string. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
