Input Button + Extra Value

obrienkev

Hi all,

How do I add a third value to the below radio button?

echo '<input type="radio" name="attended['.$row2['ffnumber'].']" id="attended" value="'.$row2['class_ID'].'" />';

Looks like something I did once - I used the id tag.
You've got id="attended", you could change it to id="somevalue"

No doesn't work.

try this:

echo '<input type="radio" name="attended['.$row2['ffnumber'].$row['whatever'].']" id="attended" value="'.$row2['class_ID'].$row['whatever'].'" />';

this will concatenate the two values of the $row2 and $row

ex. $firstname = "blah";
$lastname = "blahblah";

$aname = $firstname.$lastname;

you want to keep the name the same but change the value=""

OK the extra value is already set - the 'No' at end...

echo '<input type="radio" name="attended['.$row2['ffnumber'].']" id="attended" value="'.$row2['class_ID'].'No" />';

Is this correct??

Then on the process page I have...

foreach($attended as $k => $v)
{
$query = "UPDATE training ".
		"SET attended = 'Yes' ".
		 "WHERE ffnumber = '$k' ".
		 "AND class_ID = '$v'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
}

How do I split the value of the radio button??

Thanks.

ah yes - looking at my old script, I was using javascript to pull values from the id tag.

But I was sending multiple values separated with a pipe ( | ) (via a checkbox array), exploding the array on the pipe then looping through to get the keys.
clear as mud, eh?
