[Resolved] need to pass imageload to the next page

stampjr

I have a form that collects information and should pass it to another page in steps...

It is a long form so I will not post it here.

The user selects an image using a RADIO button:

<input name="newsletter[]" type="radio" value="Golf Theme" checked> Golf Theme

I have 3 radio buttons for now.

	<input type="image" name="submit" src="next.GIF" width="90" height="27">

Once they select the image, I want that image to show up on the next page.
All of the other info passes, but not the image!

I also need an
"if" statement to decide which RADIO was chosen.

I have tried
imageload
$POST
$REQUEST

I even tried to load the absolute path.

Your problem is most likely that your not trying to get the information back in the form of an array.

i.e.

<input name="newsletter[]" type="radio" value="Golf Theme" checked> Golf Theme 

//you would need to retrive this with

$_POST['newsletter'][0];

//now unless you are allowing for multiple
//images to be selected, you should use

<input name="newsletter" type="radio" value="Golf Theme" checked> Golf Theme

//and retrive is like so

$_POST['newsletter'];

Hope that helps and I am not stupid. 😉

would that make the image form the chosen RADIO show up?
It does't show anything.
Do I need to echo or print?

Kudose

No, it would pass the value "Golf Theme".

To pass the image name, you need to set the value as "image_name.jpg" or whatever, then use that as the img src.

By the way, echo and print are the same thing.

i.e.

//page 1 (form page)
<input name="theme" type="radio" value="golf_theme.jpg" checked>Golf Theme

//page 2 (post page)

$img = $_POST['theme'];
echo '<img src="images/'.$img.'" height="50" width="50">';

you nailed it!

I normally use echo over print anyway.
I didn't know if one would be phased out eventually.

Thanks for your help.
This is a really big project for me.

I am interested in hiring some help with these kinds of proojects.
They are limited to the client's budget, interested?

I'm glad your problem is resolved.

We can't talk about freelance on the board. Drop me a line sometime via the "My HQ" link in my sig.

Take care.

sorry about that...
I am new to the board and should have known that...

Have a great day.
