Six Radio buttons - each with a drop down - Array?

[ncwwone]

Hi,

I'm relatively new to PHP, and I've done some stuff, but this one has be a bit stifled.

I have six packages (bear, eagle, skagit, highway, salmon, baker)

each has a radio button, so I want my visitors to select only one package.

each package has a drop down menu with 4 choices in it (monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual)

after selecting which package, a visitor will select a choice from the drop down menu associated with that package.

after hitting clicking the submit button, the visitor is taken to a verification page where they can view the package and choice they selected). My question:

How can I show just the package selected and the choice from the drop down the chose? I'm assuming (because I'm taking the idiot's fifth on this) that I need some sort of array to loop through to see which variables are not null.

Here is a sample from the form:

<input type=radio name=package1 value="<?=$package1?>">&nbsp;
<select name="bearpack"  value="<?=$bearpackage?>" class=input>
<option value="blackbearmonthly" >&nbsp;$20 setup + $10.00&nbsp;/&nbsp;Monthly</option>
<option value="blackbearquarterly" >&nbsp;$0 setup + $30.00&nbsp;/&nbsp;Quarterly</option>
<option value="blackbearquarterly" >&nbsp;$0 setup + $60.00&nbsp;/&nbsp;Semi-Annually</option>
<option value="blackbear20yearly" >&nbsp;$0 setup + $120.00&nbsp;/&nbsp;Annually</option>
</select>
<br><br>
<font size=2 face=tahoma,verdana color=#000000>
<b><a href="baldeagle.html" onclick="NewWindow2(this.href,'name','475','475','yes');return false;">Bald Eagle Premiere</a>:</b>
<br>
<input type=radio name=package2 value="<?=$package2?>">&nbsp;
<select name="eaglepack"  value="<?=$eaglepackage?>" class=input>
<option value="baldeaglemonthly" >&nbsp;$25 setup + $20.00&nbsp;/&nbsp;Monthly</option>
<option value="baldeaglequarterly" >&nbsp;$0 setup + $60.00&nbsp;/&nbsp;Quarterly</option>
<option value="baldeaglequarterly" >&nbsp;$0 setup + $120.00&nbsp;/&nbsp;Semi-Annually</option>
<option value="baldeagleyearly" >&nbsp;$0 setup + $240.00&nbsp;/&nbsp;Annually</option>
</select>
<br><br>
<font size=2 face=tahoma,verdana color=#000000>
<b><a href="skagit.html" onclick="NewWindow3(this.href,'name','475','475','yes');return false;">Skagit Powerhouse</a>:</b>
<br>
<input type=radio name=package3 value="<?=$package3?>">&nbsp;
<select name="eaglepack"  value="<?=$eaglepackage?>" class=input>
<option value="skagitmonthly" >&nbsp;$35 setup + $30.00&nbsp;/&nbsp;Monthly</option>
<option value="skagitquarterly" >&nbsp;$0 setup + $90.00&nbsp;/&nbsp;Quarterly</option>
<option value="skagitquarterly" >&nbsp;$0 setup + $180.00&nbsp;/&nbsp;Semi-Annually</option>
<option value="skagityearly" >&nbsp;$0 setup + $360.00&nbsp;/&nbsp;Annually</option>
</select>

Thanks for your help.

You will need javascript to create the dynamic drop menus.

i hope i understand you right. you do not want to have dynamic dropdowns, won't you?
if it is so: if you give all your radiobuttons the same name,
then the user can only choose one of this group

<input type='radio' name='package' value='bear' />
<input type='radio' name='package' value='eagle' />
...

the selects stay as they are. on your validation page you first check, which radiobuttons has been chosen
and then you grab the adequate select.

if ($_POST['package'] == "bear") {
  $paying = $_POST['bearpack'];
  echo "You have chosen the bearpack. paying: " . $paying;
}
else if ($_POST['package'] == "eagle")
... 

hope i got it right... otherwise just ask again
