Using a Form with PHP

[Anon]

I have a form with the 5 radio buttons, one of which can only be selected. How do I do the following:

1. I want to use the same page each time to display the next question and the 5 radio buttons. I was hoping to pass the answer to the previous question and update the MySQL database before displaying the next question.

2. If I have two images one for a previous button and one for a next button. I currently have a hyperlink with the following code:

<A HREF="buildprofile.php?Next=1" .. etc

If "Next" is 1 the next question is displayed.

If "Next" is 0 the previous question is displayed.

All this works fine but I cannot get the selected radio button to pass on its value

How can I tell the "ACTION" method which direction I am going in (previous or next).

Can anyone help please?

Many Thanks

  If you want to pass variables or session id's SID's you need to start a session, declare the variables and they will pass to the next page.

session_start();
session_register( "answer" );

This will pass whatever variables you want to declare to the next page. On the next page you could run a query to see if the correct variable has been passed. If not redirect back to the previous question.

It's easier I think to just insert whatever the student puts in the form into mysql and then run a query.

If ($answer =1)
{
header( "Location: /nextquestion.php );
{
else
{
do something else
}
