need help with radiobutton echo

Anon

hello,

i am the very beginning of learning php.

i have a form....

say there is 3 options for the person to select. each one has a point value. 1-bad 2-average 3-good

how would i set the radiobuttons up to have to post to a 2nd page the results....

like they selected radio button 1...how would i echo that to the 2nd page

sort of a recap style thing....

all help would be appreciated....thanks....

That is easy, you simply set a value to the radio buttons and group then with one name

like this
<form>
<input type="radio" name="bla" value="3" checked>3
<input type="radio" name="bla" value=2>2
<input type="radio" name="bla" value=1>1
<input type="submit" value="send">
</form>

<? echo $bla ?>

if you press submit on that in a php page your selected value gets displayed on the next page...

cheers
Chris

You'll need to give it a name rather than a number...

<input type="radio" name="tancol" value="1-fair" checked>
1-fair<br>
<input type="radio" name="tancol" value="2 medium">
2-medium
<br>
<input type="radio" name="tancol" value="3-dark">
3-dark

</p>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="send">
</form>

HERE IS PAGE 2

<p>Here are the results of our short survey. </p>
<p>
<? echo $tancol ?>
</p>
