RE: [PHP] Re: Dynamically check radio buttons

If you made an array for your buttons, then you could use PHP's looping constructs to process the array. Write the input tag like this: <INPUT NAME=Game[1] VALUE=1>Chicago The processing code will then have access to the array $Game indexed by the game number, e.g., $Game[1]. Good luck!
