Re: radio buttons from MySQL query?

OK, this works but there has to be a pretty way? John, I'm not sure what you mean about the while loop?

There is no reason to put brackets behind the name of the radio element.

The brackets are neccessary for multi-select elements like checkboxes, but radio buttone are a single select element.

Your if statement should be a while loop. I'm sure you don't want to set this ( value=acct[] ) as the value for each

radio button. Do it that way, and no matter which one is picked, it will be the same value.

I don't think so, Put the bracket with your radio's name not with your the value/// For example : print "<td width=2><input type=radio name=gl_acct[] value=$row['acct']>{$row['acct']}</td>" ... and so one/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Jackson" <info@mustardandrelish.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, November 04, 2002 1:15 PM Subject: [PHP] radio buttons from MySQL query?

How do I go about building radio buttons using the results of a MySQL query. The record layout looks like this: acct cat description I want to use acct as the value="acct" in the input statement for the radio box. The code below almost works? TIA, David <?php $header = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM chart

          ORDER BY acct ");

if ($row = mysql_fetch_array($header)) {

       do {
       print("<tr  bgcolor=\"white\" >");

print '<td width="5"><input type="radio" name="gl_acct" value=acct[]"></td>'; print("<td width=\"12\">"); print $row["acct"];

       print "</td><td width=\"12\">";

print $row["cat"];

       print "</td><td >";

print $row["descript"]; print("</td></tr>\n");

              } while($row = mysql_fetch_array($header));

           } else {print "Sorry, no records were found!";}
