Jessica Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 If they are all named the same it won't work unless they're named something like button[] <-- you need the []. That will make the posted var an array; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/37559-htmlradio-buttons/#findComment-179616 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirvo Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 <tr><td colspan="2"><input type="radio" name="V1[2]">Save my username</td></tr> Thats what i have but it dont work. The reason you have to have radio buttons with the same name is to make it that only one of them can be selected.

redarrow Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 The only way i could work this out is to get all that have nothink in the varable and then update the database. <?php foreach ($v1 as $result){ if($result=="none"){ }else{ //do the update } } ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/37559-htmlradio-buttons/#findComment-181851 Share on other sites More sharing options...

redarrow Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 why dont you do a real login system instead of all this trouble just ask the user if they want to join. as what i can tell from what your doing it is a registartion form but the hard way round.
