problem passing radio button value between pages

hey folks,

have an annoying problem. I have a form which spreads over 2 pages. i want to pass all the values from the fisrt page of the form to the second. it was easy to pass the 'text area' values using a simple

echo "$value"

PHP:

code.
However i need to pass the value of a checked radio button so that the same button is checked on the next page. Does any1 know how to do this??

i am kind of a novice with PHP so i apologise if it is really obvious!!

thanks in advance

pass the value ($value) to the second page as normal..

if ($value == $whatever) {
echo "this is my html";
}
else if ($value == $whatever2) {
echo "this is my html";
}
else {
echo "this is some other html";
}

Or you can use a switch
www.php.net/switch

 

You are using post to submit the values to another page?

You should be able to access the values with $_POST['radio'];

Assuming...

<input type="radio" name="radio" value="1">Yes
<input type="radio" name="radio" value="0">No

That should be it really. You can also try using $_REQUEST, but it is less secure than $_POST.

 

$_REQUEST is for both $_GET and $_POST globals.

 

He is trying to take the post data and pre select a radio button on a second form page - based on the post data

 

is this what you want??

let say you have $_REQUEST['myradio'] from the first page.

<form>
<input type="radio" name="fruit" value="apples" style="border-width: 0px;" <?php if($_REQUEST['myradio']) echo "checked=\"checked\""; ?>> Apples
</form>
