Using Forms with PHP

[Anon]

When using forms with PHP in particular I have 5 radio buttons which represent 1 of a possible 5 answers to a question. There are 10 questions involved.

As I click the next button to move to the next question I want to record the selected radio button which the operator had selected for the current question before moving to the next question.

My question is that when using forms, do you need to use the ACTION property. My two buttons PREVIOUS and NEXT redisplay the form either decrementing or incrementing the question id.

When I display the next question I cannot seem to get the previous selection. I thought that using forms, the fields are passed as variables.

Can anyone help me please?

Many Thanks

I think you should use the action because you want to pass the all the variables into the next page.
Use the submit type and replace the value into Next page.
Hope I answered your question. Good luck.

you use the action property to tell the form what script to submit it to. then that script will take care of what you want done with the value. as for passing variables over multiple pages, you are most likely going to want to use cookies or you could dynamically build hidden input values into your forms to hold previous values.

if this is not what you meant by your question please let me know.
