Poll counter

Brad

I am trying to dynamically update my poll results and am having some issues. What I want to form to do is on submit, increment the variable by 1 and then display the variable onto the screen. Here is the code if anyone can see the problem.

<input type="radio" name="mountain" value="mountain1">Blue Mountain<br>
<?
if (mountain1 == "checked")
{
for (i = 0, i < 200, i++)
{
$blue = $blue + i;
}
}
?>

			<!-- if statement for radio2 -->
			<input type="radio" name="mountain" value="mountain2">Horse Shoe<br>
			<?
			if (mountain2 == "checked")
			{
				for (i = 0, i < 200, i++)
				{
					$horse = $horse + i;
				}
			}
			?>

			<!-- if statement for radio3 -->
			<input type="radio" name="mountain" value="mountain3">Glen Eden<br>
			<?
			if (mountain1 == "checked")
			{
				for (i = 0, i < 200, i++)
				{
					$glen = $glen + i;
				}
			}
			?>

			<!-- if statement for radio4 -->
			<input type="radio" name="mountain" value="mountain4">The All Bite<br>
			<?
			if (mountain4 == "checked")
			{
				for (i = 0, i < 200, i++)
				{
					$bite = $bite + i;
				}
			}
			?>

			<input type="submit" name="submitform" value="submit">
			<input type="reset" name="reset" value="reset"></form>	
			<hr color="white">
			<center><b><u>Poll Results</u></b></center>
			<?
			Echo "Blue = $blue<br>";
			Echo "Horseshoe = $horse<br>";
			Echo "Glen Eden = $glen<br>";
			Echo "They all bite = $bite<br>";
			?>

I think the for loop is screwed but Im not to sure. Any help would be appreciated

your loop can't work! use this instead:

for ($i = 0, $i < 200, $i++)

yeah you need the dollarsigns on the i value, it's a variable like any other. also: check what's actually getting into your system from HTML. I think if you specify a radio button as you are the stuff that comes in in $REQUEST[] is going to be whatever you said as the 'value' in the <input> tag... stick a print_r($REQUEST) at the beginning of your script while debugging to check that out. yeah.
