help with this form code?

[Anon]

Please help me in writting some code! I am currently trying to take a list... like a list of teams. Say teams 1 - 6. I then have them printed out on the screen like this:

Team1
Vs.
Team2

Team3
Vs.
Team4

Team5
Vs.
Team6

Next to each of the teams, I have check boxes.

The check boxes are in there for users to select who lost. They click on the check box to select who lost, then they click on a submit button to send the data to another php file that takes that data and adds 1 to the teams winlose column.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can do this? Please help me out!

Well you should first use radio buttons instead of check boxes. Check boxes allow for multiple selections, and there is only one winner right (unless there is a tie game)?

HTML - Something like this:
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="process.php">
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME=" game_one" value=team_one>
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME=" game_one" value=team_two>
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME=" game_two" value=team_three>
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME=" game_two" value=team_four>
</FORM>

PHP - Something like this:
<?
$game1winner = $game_one;
$game2winner = $game_two;

//just incase of a tie
If(!($game1winner)
{
$game1winner = "tie game";
}

If(!($game2winner)
{
$game2winner = "tie game";
}
?>
Then you can upload your data to a datafile, database, or print the results on the next page.

<?
echo "Winner from game 1 is ".$game1winner;
echo "Winner from game 2 is ".$game2winner;
?>
