Radio Options

[KrisCons]

Hi all,

I am looking for a tutorial which would help me work out how to develop a php form i need to do.

My form will select questions from a mysql database and display them accordingly on screen. For each question, there are a maximum of 5 answers, of which only one can be chosen (radio buttons). But for some questions, the count of answers might only be 2, therfire only displaying 2 radio buttons but this might happen on the same page as questions with 5 options.

I basically need a away of dynamically building the page when i select my questions and echoing the correct amount of radio buttons for each question.

Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

Nested loops is how you create dynamic layouts like this

$sql = "SELECT * FROM questions AS q INNER JOIN answers AS a USING(q_id) ORDER BY q.q_id";
$result = mysql_query($sql);

$current_q=0;
$current_a=1;

while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
   // check for new question: 
   $q = $row['q.q_id'];
   if ($current_q != $q) {
      // new question so display question
      echo '<p>' . $row['q.question'] . '</p>';
     // record new question 
     $current_q = $q;
    // reset answer count
    $curent_a = 1;
   }
   // always display the answer
   echo '<input type="radio" name="' . $q . '" value="' . $row['a.a_id'] . '" />' . $row['a.answer'] . '<br />';
   // and count it
   $current_a++;
}
