Re: Generating readio buttons

Here's your problem: "acct[]" doesn't equal anything. $acct[4] might. So: echo "<input type='radio' name='gl_acct' value='{$acct[4]}'>"; might give you want you want. The name='acct[]' is used for PHP form processing, putting the correct value in the variable. For example, $acct[Yes] might be set if you used this input and it was checked: <input type='checkbox' name='acct[]' value='Yes'> Peter On Sun, 3 Nov 2002, David Jackson wrote: > Peter Beckman wrote: > > Peter, > Thanks for your prompt reply. > > > Gonna need some additional information, such as: > > > > 1.
