for starters, i am a complete beginner at PHP, so i know almost nothing. so, the basic outline is that i am required to create a table with 2 columns, and use PHP where i can so the first set of code lays down the table and the ability to type in text of "name" and "surname". ----i think this "input" is HTML, yes?? is there a way to enter it as PHP? <table border=\"2\"> <tr><th><b>Requirements</b></th><th><b>Selections</b></th></tr> <tr><td>Name</td><td><input type="text" name="name"/></td></tr> <tr><td>Surname</td><td><input type="text" name="surname"/></td></tr> so, for this next section, adding on is the part for "age". i want this to appear as a dropdown selection. i've written PHP where possible, however this does not work when opening the file in a browser. it simply leaves a blank dropdown menu with no options. ???? <tr><td>Age</td><td><select> <?php for ($num=11; $num<=22; $num++){ echo '<option>' .$num. '</option>'; } ?> </select> lastly, i have the part for "activity choice". this again i believe i wrote the radio buttons in HTML??? am i able to write this as PHP???? <tr><td>Activity Choice</td><td><input type="radio" name="activityChoice" value "music"/> Music ($30.00)<br> <input type="radio" name="activityChoice" value "swimming"/> Swimming ($25.50)<br> <input type="radio" name="activityChoice" value "tennis"/> Tennis ($20.00)<br> <input type="radio" name="activityChoice" value "basketball"/> Basketball ($15.50)<br> <input type="radio" name="activityChoice" value "netball"/> Netball ($15.50)<br> <input type="radio" name="activityChoice" value "dance"/> Dance ($10.50)<br> <input type="radio" name="activityChoice" value "communityService"/> Community Service (No Charge)</td></tr> please please please help??
