nick.moult Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 HI, I'm trying to create a php and html script that allows clients to complete questions online and submit them. The questions are completed via multiple choice style radio buttons. The results are subsequently stored in a database. I've included a sample of the script below: <body class="bg" style="margin:20px;"> <form action="<? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" name="userinfoform" method="POST"> <h2><p>Please enter the appropriate responses and then click on the submit button:</p></h2> <span style="color:#FF0000"></span> <br> <br/> <table width="603" border="0"> <tr> <td colspan = 9>1. Are Company X complying with your original and ongoing brief (Score from 1-9)?</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="radio" name="questionOne" value="1">1<span style="color:#FF0000"></span> </td> <td><input type="radio" name="questionOne" value="2">2<span style="color:#FF0000"></span> </td> <td><input type="radio" name="questionOne" value="3">3<span style="color:#FF0000"></span> </td> <td><input type="radio" name="questionOne" value="4">4<span style="color:#FF0000"></span> </td> <td><input type="radio" name="questionOne" value="5">5<span style="color:#FF0000"></span> </td> <td><input type="radio" name="questionOne" value="6">6<span style="color:#FF0000"></span> </td> <td><input type="radio" name="questionOne" value="7">7<span style="color:#FF0000"></span> </td> <td><input type="radio" name="questionOne" value="8">8<span style="color:#FF0000"></span> </td> <td><input type="radio" name="questionOne" value="9">9<span style="color:#FF0000"></span> </td> </tr> </table> However, what I want to do, before storing the values to a database is run a check that all questions have been completed. I'd imagine that for the "value" i'd step back into PHP where i make the input a variable and check whether or not its been filled in. However, do I have to do that for every input button? I have several questions in this list so it could get messy. Can anyone help?

Aureole Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 To check for something use isset(). i.e. <?php if(isset($_POST['something'])) { echo('$_POST[\'something\'] is set.'); } else { echo('$_POST[\'something\'] is NOT set.'); } ?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/72472-solved-survey/#findComment-365425 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocobueno1388 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 You will have to check for a completed answer per required question. Here is an example from your example <?php if (!isset($_POST['questionOne'])){ echo "You did not fill question 1 out!"; } else { //They filled everything out, do the next thing } ?> <body class="bg" style="margin:20px;"> <form action="<? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" name="userinfoform" method="POST"> <h2><p>Please enter the appropriate responses and then click on the submit button:</p></h2> <span style="color:#FF0000"></span> <table width="603" border="0"> <tr> <td colspan = 9>1. Are Company X complying with your original and ongoing brief (Score from 1-9)?</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="radio" name="questionOne" value="1">1<span style="color:#FF0000"></span> </td> <td><input type="radio" name="questionOne" value="2">2<span style="color:#FF0000"></span> </td> <td><input type="radio" name="questionOne" value="3">3<span style="color:#FF0000"></span> </td> <td><input type="radio" name="questionOne" value="4">4<span style="color:#FF0000"></span> </td> <td><input type="radio" name="questionOne" value="5">5<span style="color:#FF0000"></span> </td> <td><input type="radio" name="questionOne" value="6">6<span style="color:#FF0000"></span> </td> <td><input type="radio" name="questionOne" value="7">7<span style="color:#FF0000"></span> </td> <td><input type="radio" name="questionOne" value="8">8<span style="color:#FF0000"></span> </td> <td><input type="radio" name="questionOne" value="9">9<span style="color:#FF0000"></span> </td> </tr> </table> The answer they chose from that question will be stored in $_POST['questionOne'] Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/72472-solved-survey/#findComment-365429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
