dennisb Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I'm trying to create a "Thank you" page where a user lands after he/she has opted into one of our forms. On that page there will be an option for the user to choose a free CD as a gift and will only have to pay for shipping. I would like to give the user an option to either choose a physical CD or a digital MP3. The logic here is that first I provide a user with selection of 4 CDs that I connect to each radio button. Then below that there will be the first Submit button that will say something like "Yes, please mail be a CD." Below the first button there will be a second Submit button that will say something like "Send me the download link instead". Thus if the user clicks on any of the radio buttons and then clicks on the first Submit button, they will be taken to the shopping cart for that CD where they will be prompted to pay the shipping charges for the CD. If the user click on that same radio button, but then clicks on the second Submit button, they will be taken to link to download it. The third link below would just take the user past the page if he chooses to opt out of this offer. I can't get the script to work correctly for me. Here is what I have so far: <?PHP $option1 = 'unchecked'; $option2 = 'unchecked'; $option3 = 'unchecked'; $option4 = 'unchecked'; if (isset($_POST['Submit1'])) { $selected_radio = $_POST['cd_choice']; if ($selected_radio == 'option1') { $option1 = 'checked'; ?> <a href="#">Purchase link 1</a> <?php } else if ($selected_radio == 'option2') { $option2 = 'checked'; ?> <a href="#">Purchase link 2</a> <?php } else if ($selected_radio == 'option3') { $option3 = 'checked'; ?> <a href="#">Purchase link 3</a> <?php } else if ($selected_radio == 'option4') { $option4 = 'checked'; ?> <a href="#">Purchase link 4</a> <?php } } else { $selected_radio = $_POST['cd_choice']; if ($selected_radio == 'option1') { $option1 = 'checked'; ?> <a href="#">Download link 1</a> <?php } else if ($selected_radio == 'option2') { $option2 = 'checked'; ?> <a href="#">Download link 2</a> <?php } else if ($selected_radio == 'option3') { $option3 = 'checked'; ?> <a href="#">Download link 3</a> <?php } else if ($selected_radio == 'option4') { $option4 = 'checked'; ?> <a href="#">Download link 4</a> <?php } } ?> Here's what I have for the HTML portion of it: <body> <FORM NAME ="form1" METHOD ="POST" ACTION ="radioButton_test.php"> <INPUT TYPE = 'Radio' Name ='cd_choice' value= 'option1' <?PHP print $option1; ?>> This is the first CD <INPUT TYPE = 'Radio' Name ='cd_choice' value= 'option2' <?PHP print $option2; ?>> This is the second CD <INPUT TYPE = 'Radio' Name ='cd_choice' value= 'option3' <?PHP print $option3; ?>> This is the third CD <INPUT TYPE = 'Radio' Name ='cd_choice' value= 'option4' <?PHP print $option4; ?>> This is the fourth CD <P> <center><INPUT TYPE = "Submit" Name = "Submit1" VALUE = "Yes, please mail me a CD"></center> <p><center><INPUT TYPE = "Submit" Name = "Submit2" VALUE = "Send me download link instead"></center></p> <div align="center"><a href="#">No thanks. </a></div> </FORM> Any help would be greatly appreciated.

dennisb Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 I tested it as posted and it works for me. What does it do wrong for you? Hi David! It doesn't work for me because if, for example, I click on the first radio button "This is the first CD" and then I click on the first submit button "Yes, please mail me a CD", nothing happens. Nothing happens if I click on the second submit button either. I know that I'm missing some logic somewhere; however, I'm unable to connect the dots and figure out exactly what's missing. Here's an example of what I need it to do. When someone clicks on the first radio button "This is the first CD" and then clicks on the first submit button "Yes, please mail me a CD", the user will be taken to a shopping cart link for that specific CD that user has selected. If the user clicks on that same radio button, but then clicks on the second submit button "Send me download link instead", the user will be taken to a download link for that same MP3. This needs to happed for every selection. This is the reason why two submit buttons were created, so that the user has an option of either getting a physical or digital version of the same CD. Please let me know if this makes sense. Thank you!

davidannis Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) It works as you described for me. Do other scripts hosted on the same server work? Try putting: print_r($_POST); in your code and see what you get.

Barand Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 you could try something like this <?php if (isset($_POST['cd_choice'])) { $cd = $_POST['cd_choice']; switch($_POST['Submit1']) { case "Yes, please mail me a CD": header("location: mailCD.php?cd=$cd"); exit; break; case "Send me download link instead": header("location: downloadCD.php?cd=$cd"); exit; break; } } else { echo "<p>Please select a CD</p>"; } ?> <FORM NAME ="form1" METHOD ="POST" ACTION =""> <INPUT TYPE = 'Radio' Name ='cd_choice' value= '1'> This is the first CD<br> <INPUT TYPE = 'Radio' Name ='cd_choice' value= '2'> This is the second CD<br> <INPUT TYPE = 'Radio' Name ='cd_choice' value= '3'> This is the third CD<br> <INPUT TYPE = 'Radio' Name ='cd_choice' value= '4'> This is the fourth CD<br> <P> <center><INPUT TYPE = "Submit" Name = "Submit1" VALUE = "Yes, please mail me a CD"></center> <p><center><INPUT TYPE = "Submit" Name = "Submit1" VALUE = "Send me download link instead"></center></p> <div align="center"><a href="#">No thanks. </a></div> </FORM> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/277278-problems-with-creating-a-php-script-with-radio-buttons-and-two-separate-%E2%80%9Csubmit%E2%80%9D-buttons-where-the-logic-would-flow-depending-on-the-options-chosen/#findComment-1426709 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennisb Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Thank you so much, Barand! I tried your version of the code. Whenever I click on any of the "Submit" buttons, the page just refreshes. Here's the exact code I'm using. <?php if (isset($_POST['cd_choice'])) { $cd = $_POST['cd_choice']; switch($_POST['Submit1']) { case "cd": header("location: mailCD.php?cd=$cd"); exit; break; case "mp3": header("location: downloadCD.php?cd=$cd"); exit; break; } } else { echo "<p>Please select a CD</p>"; } ?> <FORM NAME ="form1" METHOD ="POST" ACTION =""> <INPUT TYPE = 'Radio' Name ='cd_choice' value= '1'> This is the first CD<br> <INPUT TYPE = 'Radio' Name ='cd_choice' value= '2'> This is the second CD<br> <INPUT TYPE = 'Radio' Name ='cd_choice' value= '3'> This is the third CD<br> <INPUT TYPE = 'Radio' Name ='cd_choice' value= '4'> This is the fourth CD<br> <P> <center><input type="image" name="Submit1" src="images/mail-me-a-hard-copy-cd.gif" VALUE = "cd"></center> <p><center><input type="image" name="Submit1" src="images/email-me-download-link.gif" VALUE = "mp3"></center></p> <div align="center"><a href="#">No thanks. </a></div> </FORM> I'm using a custom image for the submit button, which is why the submit code is different from what it was before. That shouldn't matter. Should it? I placed the PHP code right above the form in the body. Is there anything that I'm missing? Thanks!

Barand Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 It will refresh if there is not a $_POST['cd_choice']. If you are not now using radio buttons how are you passing the chosen cd value? What is your code now?

davidannis Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) I think one problem with the code as posted may be that the header statements are case sensitive: The first element of the header (i.e. "Location") is case sensitive depending on the browser. In IE7, <?php header("location:http://www.example.com"); ?> does not work as expected whereas <?php header ("Location:http://www.example.com"); ?> does work as expected. and you use a lower case l in Location. http://php.net/manual/fr/function.header.php Another issue is the form action is blank.

Barand Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 @davidannis - yes it is so it submits back to itself @dennisb - when you click an input of type image it submits the form but value attributes are ignored. Instead it is posted as the x,y coordinates of the click position of the image. EG array ( [submit1_x] = x [submit1_y] = y ) However, if you name the images as Submit1['cd'] and Submit1['mp3'] then they are posted as array ( [submit1] = array ( [mp3] = y ) ) so you can tell which was clicked from the key value Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/277278-problems-with-creating-a-php-script-with-radio-buttons-and-two-separate-%E2%80%9Csubmit%E2%80%9D-buttons-where-the-logic-would-flow-depending-on-the-options-chosen/#findComment-1427031 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit confused on the syntax of where I would place this code and what exactly I need to do. Please let me know if I understood you correctly: In the "Submit" tags, the names need to be changed so that it will be displaying as: <input type="image" name="Submit1['cd']" src="images/mail-me-a-hard-copy-cd.gif" value = "cd"> and <input type="image" name="Submit1['mp3']" src="images/email-me-download-link.gif" value = "mp3"> Then I need to place the following code somewhere. <script> array ( [Submit1] = array ( [mp3] = y ) ) </script> And this will resolve the issue? Please let me know if I understood you correctly. Thank you!

Barand Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 1. Yes - but remove the "value=xx" as they are redundant. 2. Those arrays are not code, they are examples of how the form data will be posted for processing. If you out this code echo '<pre>'.print_r($_POST, 1).'</pre>'; in your processing page you will see the data posted from the form so you can then work out how to process it Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/277278-problems-with-creating-a-php-script-with-radio-buttons-and-two-separate-%E2%80%9Csubmit%E2%80%9D-buttons-where-the-logic-would-flow-depending-on-the-options-chosen/#findComment-1427183 Share on other sites More sharing options...
