DataBase Function

[RickyRak]

Hello All,

Here is the issue at hand. Im doing a system of taking attendance. I have a list of names randomly selected from a SQL database, using the ORDER BY RAND() function. These values are inserted into a dynamic table with radio buttons assigned to the particular name that comes up.

Example
http://web.njit.edu/~rfr2/attendance.php

Lets say we have a name: Jim Jones, and Right under that Jim Hong. How do i assign different values to those names within a loop. And be able to inserted the values into a DB. I have another page which takes the value of the radio button for the user, but it only takes one user. How can i make a loop to fix this?

I am using the HTTP_POST_Vars funciton, with a variable name from the radio button set as the post vars value.

Any suggestions?

You have a set of radio buttons for each name, but you lost track of the name that goes with each set.

I'd use hidden fields (another array, probably text elements) that gives you the name or ID from the database that corresponds to each set of radiobuttons.
