RE: [PHP] Need a PHP clue

Are you looking to modify more than one box at a time? -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Chum [mailto:jchum@techdevelopers.com] Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2000 10:04 AM To: Krznaric Michael Subject: RE: [PHP] Need a PHP clue Yes, I am using radio buttons for selecting answers to the polls, but that's not where I'm describing my problem. My problem lies in editing polls. Basically, I have a text box for the question, and 5 text boxes for answers. The boxes should be able to edit, modify, remove depending on the content that lies in the boxes when passed over the PHP script. I was thinking of something towards using an array to work this out, but can't put my finger on it.
