survey help

buffi

Hi All,
I really really need your help. I have created a survey form in html with radio buttons, text buttons etc.
I also added a submit button which is suppose to send me the survey once it was filled via email (php email form).
I know how to make the mail.php script to send me the text buttons but how do i make it send me the chosen radio button??

example:
let say i have a question such as:

How satisfied are you with the service?
and i have the following choises
(radio button) Unsatisfied
(radio button) satisfied
(radio button) moderate
lets say he chose satisfied.

how do i make it in the scrip that he will send me his choise?

i hope i am clear. :/

please help thanks

sidney

as you would with most form vars

 <form method="post">
Unsatisfied<input name="test" type="radio" value="Unsatisfied"><br>
Satisfied<input name="test" type="radio" value="Satisfied"><br>
Moderate<input name="test" type="radio" value="Moderate"><br>
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['test']))
	echo $_POST['test'];
?>

Thanks for the reply,
that means that if in the html page i have something like that:

		<input type="radio" name="nocavail" value="un" />Unsatisfactory&nbsp;
		<input type="radio" name="nocavail" value="mod" />Moderate&nbsp;
		<input type="radio" name="nocavail" value="sat" />Satisfactory&nbsp;
		<input type="radio" name="nocavail" value="exc" />Excellent</td>
	</tr>

in the mail.php form it should look like this???

  <form method="post"> 
Unsatisfied<input name="test" type="radio" value="Unsatisfied"><br> 
Satisfied<input name="test" type="radio" value="Satisfied"><br> 
Moderate<input name="test" type="radio" value="Moderate"><br> 
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="submit"> 
</form> 
<?php 
if(isset($_POST['nocavail'])) 
    echo $_POST['nocavail']; 
?>

but i wonder how it will work if all the buttons are named the same and the value is different and in the $_post['nocavail'] i am reffering to the name. :?

any suggestions

sidney

the browser will only send the one that has been selected

<?

$emailaddress = array(
'yoni@msn.com',
);

if ($_POST['submit'] == "Send Report") {
	$email = array();
	$email['message'] = "

	if ($_POST['maillist']) {
$email['message'] .= "

$email['sendname'] = "Yoni"; 
$email['subject'] = "VSat Daily Report"; 
$email['name'] = "VipSatTech"; 
$email['emeel'] = "vip@msn.com"; 

$header   = "From: ".$email['name']." <".$email['emeel'].">\n"; 
$header  .= "Reply-To: ".$email['name']." <".$email['emeel'].">\n"; 
$header   .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"; 
$header   .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=WINDOWS-1255\n"; 
$header   .= "X-Priority: 3\n"; 
$header   .= "X-Mailer: PHP / ".phpversion()."\n"; 
//$header   .= "Cc: \n"; 
$message = "".$email['message']."\n"; 

foreach($emailaddress as $emailtje) {
	mail($emailtje, $email['subject'], $message, $header); 
}
header("Location: [url]http://msn.com/index.html[/url]");
?>

so how should the one with the radio button look?

I hope you can help me with that one too thanks

 if(isset($_POST['nocavail'])) 
    $email['message'] .=  'satisfaction level is '.$_POST['nocavail'];
