[SOLVED] Is it possible to do this (radio button holding array as value)

[play_]

<?php
$info = array('health' => 4);

?>
<form action="#" method="post">
Char1<br />
<input type="radio" value="<?php  echo $info ?>" name="char" /><br />


<input type="submit" name="submit" />
</form>

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
echo $_POST['char'];
}
?>

 

That doesn't work.

if i do:

<input type="radio" value="<?php  echo $info ?>" name="char" />

i get an offset error.

 

Not possible is it?

you need to use echo $info['health']

Not sure what you're trying to do. You want a radio button to hold a value? Or are you trying to figure out a way to automatically select which radio button is chosen?

 

Your example has one radio button. Radio's are an 'either/or' choice selection.

 

Please clarify your question

Your code should be:

<?php
$info = array('health' => 4);

?>
<form action="#" method="post">
Char1<br />
<input type="radio" value="<?php  echo $info['health'] ?>" name="char" /><br />


<input type="submit" name="submit" />
</form>

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
echo $_POST['char'];
}
?>

<input type="submit" name="submit" />

Thanks. However this was just an exmaple.

The array actually holds more value, such as  strength, weapon, etc. Which i will be later store in the database

You never mentioned that it was just an example.

Tell us exactly what you want, we cant help unless you provide us with the proper information.

Here's the situation, in case there's a better solution.

 

I have register.php where users sign up.

 

They enter:

-name

-email

-password

 

Then, i have a query.

The query retrieves  the following information from a table called 'characters_list' and lists them:

-characters_list_ID

-character_race

-initial_health

-initial_strength

-initial_weapon

-character_image

 

And next to each character, there's a radiobutton so the user can select a character to use.

 

But when the user selects a character, i need to store initial_health, initial_strength, initial_weapon, etc in a table in the database.

 

 

One alternative would be this:

After the user enters his name, email and password, they could click a submit button which would store that info in the 'users' table, and then be taken to another page, say, character_select.php where they could select a character.

Are you trying to let them select between multiple characters? Each one should have a unique ID, and you'd use the ID as the value.

here the image of the register screen:

See how each character have their own initial_health, initial_strength and initial_weapon.

When the user clicks submit, i need to take those 3 values and insert them somewhere else.

 

 

::edit::

I'll have them taken to a second page.

 

 

Thanks all.
