[SOLVED] Smart PHP'er needed to look at this...

[drukpa]

Hi Guys,

I need someone much smarter than me to tell me what I'm doing wrong here.

 

I have 3 radio buttons, in the same form, with a submit button.

I want my php to check which radio button is selected and based on this, redirect to another url.

 

My HTML:

<form name="form1" method="POST" action="../checkbox_radio.php">

  <label>

    <input type="radio" name="bp" id="bp" value="1">

    Option One</label>

  <label>

    <input type="radio" name="bp" id="bp" value="2">

    Option Two</label>

  <label>

    <input type="radio" name="bp" id="bp" value="3">

    Option Three</label>

               

                <input type="image" src="../images/Add-To-Cart.gif" value="Submit" alt="Submit">

 

  </form>

 

my php file "checkbox_radio.php"

<?PHP

$URL1="http://www.mydomain.com/page1.html";

$URL2="http://www.mydomain.com/page2.html";

$URL3="http://www.mydomain.com/page3.html";

 

$selected_radio = '0';

 

if(isset($_POST['Submit']))

{

$selected_radio = $_POST['bp'];

 

if($selected_radio == '1')

{

//$option_one = 'checked';

header("Location: $URL1");

//exit;

}

elseif ($selected_radio == '2')

{

//$option_two = 'checked';

header("Location: $URL2");

//exit;

}

elseif ($selected_radio == '3')

{

//$option_three = 'checked';

header("Location: $URL3");

//exit;

}

}

?>

 

Thank you!

First off you should use the code tags. Secondly what isn't it doing that it should be?

[samoht]

Why don't you use a switch case?

 

Switch ($_POST[bp]) {
case  1:
URL1;
break;
case 2:
URL2;
break;
case 3:
URL3;
break;
}

Hi NGreenWood6 & Samoth,

 

a - Apologies for not posting the code in the correct tag.

b - NGreenWood6 - The redirecting isn't happening. I get a blank page.

When I change the _POST to _GET i notice that the string also has an &x= and &y= values. I can only guess this is why the if statement check isn't working. The x & y values change all the time - I dont know where this is coming from to start with, otherwise I would've deleted the object if I could.

 

Samoht - I tried the Switch statement - but i get the same result - the php file loads, appearing to load a page, then goes blank...

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks guys...

Just change it to how you want but that works as it stands.

 

  <?php
  
   if(empty($_GET['action']))  { 
  
  ?> 
  <form action="?action=check" name="myform" method="POST" />
  
  URL ONE: <input type="radio" name="url" id="url" value="1" /> 
   URL TWO: <input type="radio" name="url" id="url" value="2" /> 
    URL THREE: <input type="radio" name="url" id="url" value="3" /> <br />
  <input type="submit" value="submit" /> 
  </form>
  <?php
       }
  ?>

  <?php
   if($_GET['action'] == "check" )  {

   $url = (int)$_POST['url'];

   
   if($url == 0 ) { echo " Error "; }
   elseif($url == 1 ) { echo " URL 1 "; }
   elseif($url == 2 ) { echo " URL 2 "; }
   elseif($url == 3 ) { echo " URL 3 "; }
       }
  ?>

You don't have to change your whole code like burnside tells you. It looks to me like you did not name the submit button change this:

 

input type="image" src="../images/Add-To-Cart.gif" value="Submit" alt="Submit">

 

to this:

 

input type="image" src="../images/Add-To-Cart.gif" value="Submit" alt="Submit" name="Submit">

 

 

All I did there was add the name tag. and oh yeah the method for the form does not have to be capitalized.

 

<form name="form1" method="post" action="../checkbox_radio.php">

I do that sometimes too. Sometimes we tend to think it is more complex than it really is lol.

[burnside]

i seen the value="Submit" and just assumet it was name="Submit" LOL who names there submit button submit anyway lol,

Thank you guys...That's tremendous!

 

Who would've thought! Luckily i don't earn my living programming! 

 

I really do appreciate the input...and the 'read between the lines' name your buttons something other than 'Submit'...

Lesson learnt.

 

Happy holidays to everyone!

 

Respectfully,
