Choices

[ki]

Okay im setting up a user avatar thing for my site kinda like how this one is. How does php react to choices? I use isset(empty(!$_POST['check'])) to check is check box is checked, idk if its the same format or not? Any help?

if a checkbox is checked then only you will get the value for that check box in POST array otherwise you will not find it in POST array

 

so you can check this.....

 

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

 

this will do...

do a:

 

print_r( $_POST);

 

to see what you are getting. Take (or comment) out this line when you are ready to go live.

No I used that for my check box im talking about an Option button

Your html form will have an id/name value attached to the select...or at least it should have.

 

<select name="mynameforthisselect">

 

Now to get the values you simpley use

 

if (isset($selectvalue=$_POST['mynameforthisselect'])

    {

    //do this

    }

    else

    {

    //do that

    }

i would use radio buttons, not a dropdown menu.

bah im sorry thats what i mean, radio buttons, I really never knew the name but it just now sparked in my head

[willpower]

the same rule applys.  you should have a name for your radio group.  ie

 

<input type="radio" name="radioGroup1" value="option1" />

<input type="radio" name="radioGroup1" value="option2" />

<input type="radio" name="radioGroup1" value="option3" />

 

PHP

 

if (isset($selectvalue=$_POST['radioGroup1'])

    {

    echo $_POST['radioGroup1'];

    }

    else

    {

    //do that

    }
