Radio buttons cannot be stored in the database... shame, i know! I'd store a whole form in there if i could - pen included! The value of said radio button, however, can be. [php]$radio = $_POST['name_of_radio_button'];[/php]:)

It should be noted that radio buttons from the same group, should have the same element name. So radio buttons for A , B and C can have "value" attributes of 'A','B' and 'C' respectively but the same "name" attribute, something like 'letter'.

So you will always receive the 'letter' key on the $_POST or $_GET array with the value of the option chosen.

<input type="radio" name="name_For[]" />
Creates an array which you can use in php - which is what zlash is talking about... i think.

I m not sure what "ilikephp" is after but hope this can help him

For example :

I have purchase table that has 4 fields :

Id,Quantity,PricePerItem, TotalCost

[PHP]<?
$sql = "SELECT * FROM purchase order by id";
$result = mysql_query($sql);

echo "<TABLE borderColor=#cccccc cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 align=center border=1>
<TBODY>
<TR align=middle bgColor=#ffffff>
<TD width=115 height=20>
<DIV align=center><STRONG><span class=\"o\"><b><font color=\"#000080\">Options</font></b></span></STRONG></DIV></TD>
<TD width=115 height=20>
<DIV align=center><STRONG><span class=\"o\"><b><font color=\"#000080\">Quantity</font></b></span></STRONG></DIV></TD>
<TD width=115 height=20>
<DIV align=center><STRONG><span class=\"o\"><b><font color=\"#000080\">Price Per Item </font></b></span></STRONG></DIV></TD>
<TD width=115 height=20>
<DIV align=center><STRONG><span class=\"o\"><b><font color=\"#000080\">Total Cost</font></b></span></STRONG></DIV></TD></TR>";

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {

echo "<TR vAlign=center align=middle bgColor=#eaeaea>
<td><input type=\"radio\" value=\"$row[TotalCost]\" name=\"R1\"></td>
<TD width=115 bgColor=#edf2fb height=20>
<DIV align=center><span class=\"o\"><font color=\"#000080\">$row[Quanity]</font></span></DIV></TD>
<TD width=115 bgColor=#edf2fb height=20>
<DIV align=center><span class=\"o\"><font color=\"#000080\">$row[PricePerItem]</font></span></DIV></TD>
<TD width=115 bgColor=#edf2fb height=20>
<DIV align=center><span class=\"o\"><font color=\"#000080\">$$row[TotalCost]</font></span></DIV></TD></TR>";

}
}

echo "</TBODY></TABLE>";

One thing you will not get from tsdn is code written for you.

To retrieve the form you use $_POST

i.e
[php]
$username = $_POST['username'];
/* username is the name of the input of previus page */
$email = $_POST['email'];
/* email is the name of the input of previous page */
$comment = $_POST['comment'];
/* ... */

//code for mysql connection and insert here **
[/php]

** A good tutorial for connecting to mysql and insert/update/deleting data can be found here

Hello,

You may create a mysql.php file that will store your connection information and then add this file mysql.php to the guestbook.php which contains the form

mysql.php file

[PHP]<?

$server = 'localhost';
$database = 'guestbook';
$username = 'root';
$password = 'root';
$connection = mysql_connect($server,$username,$password);

if (!$connection) {
die('Could not connect to MySQL database, the server return the error: '.mysql_error());
}
$db = @mysql_select_db($database);

mysql_close();

?>[/PHP]

The in the guestbook.php you will include this line on top

[PHP]<?
include "mysql.php";
...

?>[/PHP]

Hope this helps
