Form Help

I have 6 radio buttons to select a report but I can't get it to open

<form action="<?php if($GET['Radio']==0){echo "basicliquid.php";} if($GET['Radio']==1){echo "basicpowder.php";} ?>" method="get">
<label>
<input type="radio" name="Radio" value="0" checked>
Radio0</label>
<br>
<label>
<input type="radio" name="Radio" value="1" >
Radio1</label>
<br>
<input name="mel" type="submit" value="submit">
</form>

give this a try:

<?
echo "<form action='";
switch ($_GET['Radio'])
    {
    case "0":
        echo "basicliquid.php";
        break;
    case "1":
        echo "basicpowder.php";
        break;
    }

echo "' method='get'>\n";
?>

<label>
<input type="radio" name="Radio" value="0" checked>
Radio0</label>
<br>
<label>
<input type="radio" name="Radio" value="1" >
Radio1</label>
<br>
<input name="mel" type="submit" value="submit">
</form>

Ok so I am really a blonde... and female I understand the idea you gave me .... but I have only used switch and case break in the top of my pages...

Is this to replace the Form action in the form or is this to be like a call function...

[lazzerous]

basically, switch just replaces hordes of 'if' and 'esleif' statements

in the following case, the action of the form is altered depending on the value of $_GET['Radio']

<? 
echo "<form action='";

switch ($_GET['Radio']) 
    { 
    case "0": 
        echo "basicliquid.php"; 
        break; 
    case "1": 
        echo "basicpowder.php"; 
        break; 
    } 

echo "' method='get'>\n"; 
?> 

if you were using 'if' statements, it would look like this:

<? 
echo "<form action='";

if ($_GET['Radio'] == "0")
    {
    echo "basicliquid.php"; 
    }
elseif ($_GET['Radio'] == "1")
    {
    echo "basicpowder.php"; 
    }

echo "' method='get'>\n"; 
?> 

Where switch() comes in handy is when you have dozens of possible options - it just makes for cleaner, easier to read, easily maintainable code
