I'm trying to gather the data from this form and test the condition of
the radio button 'edit_rider_action'.
I can traverse the form data array via $_POST and get the key/value
pairs but am not sure how to test the 'edit_rider_action'.

i think i see some code in that jungle. allow me to clean it up a bit!

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:
tdEdit: input type=radio name=edit_rider_action[] value=edit
/
Delete: input type=radio name=edit_rider_action[] value=delete
//td
should be changed into:
tdEdit: 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.
hth,

That make sense except the rendered form is to the effect of:
tr
tdinput type=hidden name=rider_id[] value=1 /
input type=text name=rider_name[] value=Rider 1 size=15 //td
tdinput type=text name=rider_license_cat[] value=1 size=3
//td
tdinput type=text name=comments[] value=comments here size=20
//td
tdinput type=file name=image[] value= size=10 //td
tdEdit: input type=radio name=edit_rider_action value=edit /
Delete: input type=radio name=edit_rider_action value=delete
//td
/tr
tr
tdinput type=hidden name=rider_id[] value=2 /
input type=text name=rider_name[] value=Rider 2 size=15 //td
tdinput type=text name=rider_license_cat[] value=2 size=3
//td
tdinput type=text name=comments[] value=comments here size=20
//td
tdinput type=file name=image[] value= size=10 //td
tdEdit: input type=radio name=edit_rider_action value=edit /
Delete: input type=radio name=edit_rider_action value=delete
//td
/tr
tr
tdinput type=hidden name=rider_id[] value=3 /
input type=text name=rider_name[] value=Rider 3 size=15 //td
tdinput type=text name=rider_license_cat[] value=3 size=3
//td
tdinput type=text name=comments[] value=comments here size=20
//td
tdinput type=file name=image[] value= size=10 //td
tdEdit: input type=radio name=edit_rider_action value=edit /
Delete: input type=radio name=edit_rider_action value=delete
//td
/tr
So I need to test for the state of edit_rider_action in ONE of these and
perform actions based on
it's state. If I do it as above then edit_rider_action is applied to all
rows as in:
while(list($k,$v) = each($rider_id)) {
echo $k = $vbr /\n;
echo $edit_rider_action . br /\n;
}
And of course it' entirely possible I'm just being brain dead at the
moment and am thinking about this all wrong.

ok i see... so you want to account for the possibility that each rider
might have a different state? said differently, you don't want all the
riders to have the same edit_rider_action?
in that case i think php turns form elements with [] on the end of them
into regular arrays. example:
?php
$edit_rider_action = $_GET['edit_rider_action'];
?
you then access it just like any other array:
?php
foreach($edit_rider_action as $key = $value)
{
echo $key, $valuebr/\n;
}
$action_cnt = count($edit_rider_action);
for($ictr = 0; $ictr $action_cnt; $ictr++)
{
echo $ictr, {$edit_rider_action[$ictr]}br/\n;
}
?
does that help?
chris.

Sort of:
The count for edit_rider_action will always be 1 and it's key/value
needs to mate with one of the rest of the form rows.
For example
Name Class comments Action
Rider 1 1 fooedit() delete()
Rider 2 2 baredit() delete()
Rider 3 2 dolar edit() delete()
Name, Class, and comments are all text fields that can be edited. Only
one of these at a time will be edited or deleted. I just need to
determine which row has Action Selected and then of course WHICH
action. I can get at the data but if you consider something like this:
while(list($k,$v) = each($rider_id)) {
echo $k = $vbr /\n;
while(list($key, $value) = each($edit_rider_action )) {
echo $key = $valuebr /\n;
}
}
the edit_rider_action always has an array index of 0 and I'm not sure
how to associate it with a particular row. Perhaps I can not be cause it
has no unique value in each row. Maybe I need to set an index and
associate it that way as in:
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($dbresult_riderlist);
$i = 0;
while ($result = mysql_fetch_array($dbresult_riderlist)) {
Edit: input type=radio name=edit_rider_action[$i] value=edit /
Delete: input type=radio name=edit_rider_action[$i]
value=delete /
$i++;
}

Here's one way of doing this:
for($i=0;$i$maxrows;$i++) { // whatever your loop..
echo EOF
div
input type=hidden name=chkrow[] value={$i}
input type=text name=title[{$i}] value={$rowdata[$i]}
...
input type=radio name=mode[{$i}] value=edit
input type=radio name=mode[{$i}] value=delete
/div
EOF;
}
And reading back the form values:
foreach($_REQUEST['chkrow'] as $v) {
$title = $_REQUEST['title'][$v];
$mode = $_REQUEST['mode'][$v]; // 'edit' or 'delete'
}
Adjust to your particular situation...
