Multiple radio buttons insert to db

[Slam]

Hey,

I'm trying to insert dynamically generated radio buttons form to the db, but this code below inserts always first group(id) with always selected value 1. How can I insert all groups(ids) with proper value?? Here's what I have.

Table radio_form

`radio_form` (`name_id`, `name1`, `name2`)
(1, 'Nike', 'Addidas'),
(2, 'Google', 'Bing'),
(3, 'Apple', 'Microsoft'),
(4, 'Coca-Cola', 'Pepsi'),
(5, 'Snowboard', 'Ski'),
(6, 'Car', 'Bike'),
(7, 'Futbol', 'Rugby'),
(8, 'Hot', 'Cold');

Form page (hidden input to insert id of the group to the db)

<?php

if (isset($_POST['hide_id'], $_POST['selected'])) {

$name_id = $_POST['hide_id'];
$item_select = $_POST['selected'];

$errors = array();

if (empty($_POST['selected']))
{
$errors[] = 'All fields required!';
}
if (!empty($errors)){

foreach ($errors as $error)
{
echo '<div id="error">', $error, '</div><br />';
}
}
else {
$name_id = (int)$_POST['hide_id'];
$user_id = $_SESSION['user_id'];
$item_select = (int)$_POST['selected'];

$query = "INSERT INTO `selection` VALUES ('$name_id', '$user_id', '$item_select')";
mysql_query($query);

echo "<br />OK<br />";

/*header('Location: index.php');
exit();*/
}
}
?>

<form action="" method="POST" id="go" name="go">
<?php

$items = get_items();

foreach($items as $item){

echo $item['name_id'];
?>
<label for ="<?php echo $item['name1']; ?>">
<input type ="hidden" name="hide_id[<?php echo $item['name_id']; ?>]" value="<?php echo $item['name_id']; ?>">
<?php echo $item['name1']; ?>
<input type ="radio" id="<?php echo $item['name1']; ?>" name="selected[<?php echo $item['name_id']; ?>]" value="1" />
</label>
<input type ="radio" id="<?php echo $item['name2']; ?>" checked name="selected[<?php echo $item['name_id']; ?>]" value="2" />
<label for ="<?php echo $item['name2']; ?>">
<?php echo $item['name2']; ?>
</label><br />
<?php
}
?>
<br /><br />

<button type ="submit" id="send" name="send">Send</button>
</form>

print_r($_POST);

Array
(
[hide_id] => Array
(
[1] => 1
[2] => 2
[3] => 3
[4] => 4
[5] => 5
[6] => 6
[7] => 7
[8] => 8
)
[selected] => Array
(
[1] => 2
[2] => 2
[3] => 1
[4] => 2
[5] => 2
[6] => 1
[7] => 1
[8] => 2
)
[send] =>
)

I'm not sure if this is what you are after, but try doing your insert something like this:

 

$query="INSERT INTO selection
(value_1
, value_2
, radio_selection
)
VALUES
('$_POST[value_1]'
,'$_POST[value2_]'
,'$_POST[radiobutton_1], $_POST[radiobutton_2]')";

After many attempts it finally works.

Working code

        $user_id     = $_SESSION['user_id'];
        foreach($_POST['selected'] as $key => $selected) { 
               if(is_array($selected)) {
                       echo 'Group:' . $key . '<br/>';
                       foreach($selected as $selected_group) {
                       echo 'Selected:' . $selected_group . '<br/>';
                       }
               } else {
                       echo 'Group:' . $key . '<br/>Selected value:' . $selected . '<br/>';
                       }
               $query = "INSERT INTO `selection` VALUES ('$key', '$user_id', '$selected')";
               mysql_query($query);
        }
