[RESOLVED] If then??

[jmartinez]

What I am attempting to do is fairly simple.... I think....

I start with a form that asks a series of questions, then post the results to the next page. (Already have this working) So here is the tricky part to me. I want to be able to show a series of more questions based on all questions answered yes and not show questions answered no. It might be more simple to show what I am talking about this is the form.

I want all estimate requests that are checked to show only the questions related to them. But I want to be able to use the same page for all catagory questions. I hope this makes since LOL... A point in the right direction would be great, I am not looking for someone to show me the answer but to nudge me in the right direction. I would rather learn this then copy and paste the solution.

Thanks in advance!

Using "if" is the best way, of course. I'd say to use arrays, for both your form checkboxes and your follow-up questions (whether fetched from a text file or a database). Then you could use one loop to find the checked values and to display the questions:

// First page:
echo '<form action="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '" method="post">' .
     '<input type="checkbox" name="check[please_contact]" />' .
     '<input type="checkbox" name="check[repair_only]" />' .
     '<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />' .
     '</form>';

// Follow-up page:
if (isset($_POST['check'])) {
    foreach ($_POST['check'] as $key => $value) {
        echo $follow_up_questions[$key];
    }
} else {
    echo 'Nothing checked' . '<br />';
}

Sorry for posting code; it's my best way of explaining. Many find that reading code is a good way to learn. hth
