Hi, I'd do it like that: $labels = array('Not at all', 'A little bit', 'Kind of', 'Most of the time', 'Always'); $questions = array('Did you feed the cat ?', 'Did you vote for W. Bush ?'); foreach ($questions as $index => $question) { $radio = array(); foreach ($labels as $value => $label) { $radio[] =& HTML_QuickForm::createElement('radio', null, null, $label, $value); } $form->addGroup($radio, 'question_'.$index, $question, '<br />'); $defaults['question_'.$index] = 0; } $form->setDefaults($defaults); Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
