hi I have been playing around with this script for a few days now I am trying to get the radio buttons to set to the correct opton from the db. I have tried playing with if and else but no luck

HTML Code:

	<tr>
			<td align=\"right\">discounts:</td>
			
		<td>
			<input name=\"discount\" tabindex=\"1\" type=\"radio\" checked=\"checked\" value=\"full\"  >members:			
			<input name=\"discount\" tabindex=\"2\" type=\"radio\" value=\"half\" >Committee 50%
			<input name=\"discount\" tabindex=\"3\" type=\"radio\" value=\"free\" >Leader Free
			<input name=\"discount\" tabindex=\"4\" type=\"radio\" value=\"badge\" >Badge 20%
			
		</td>

PHP Code:

$discount=$_POST['discount']; 

help please

I would remove the backslashes from the input tags, unless there are in an echo statement.

[ajwatt]

If I remove the backslashes I get this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/bhs49794/public_html/test12/admin/users.php on line 183

$discount is being read from a mysql db and needs to set the correct radio button

here is what I have tried but keep getting
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';'

PHP Code:

        $full = "full";

        $



        // lots of other code:



        if ($discount = $full) <td>

            <input name=\"discount\" tabindex=\"1\" type=\"radio\" checked=\"checked\" value=\"$full\"  />members:    </td>

            else

            <td><input name=\"discount\" tabindex=\"1\" type=\"radio\" value=\"$full\"  >members:

            }        

            <input name=\"discount\" tabindex=\"2\" type=\"radio\" checked=\"checked\" value=\"half price\" >Committee 50%

            <input name=\"discount\" tabindex=\"3\" type=\"radio\" value=\"free\" >Leader Free

            <input name=\"discount\" tabindex=\"4\" type=\"radio\" value=\"badge\" >Badge 20%</form> 

[wirehopper]

Code:

if ($discount = $full) <td>

This will assign the value of full to discount, and the <td> tag after will probably cause an error.

Possible code:

PHP Code:

$aRadioButtons=array('badge'=>'Badge','free'=>'Free');

foreach ($aRadioButtons as $k => $v)

{

  echo '<input type="radio" name="discount" value="'.$k.'"';

  if ($discount==$k)

    echo 'checked="checked"';

  echo ' />';

} 

Not tested.

when I try that code each line that has " gives me this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/bhs49794/public_html/test12/admin/users.php on line 199

line 199 echo '<input type="radio" name="discount" value="'.$k.'"';

if I change it to

echo '<input type=\"radio\" name=\"discount\" value=\"'.$k.'\"';

it works but this is displayed with the radio button

=array('badge'=>'Badge','free'=>'Free'); foreach ( as => ) { echo ''; }

same with

echo 'checked="checked"';

had to change to

echo 'checked=\"checked\"';

what am I missing here
thanks anthony

this should help you:

Code:

<?PHP
$discount = 'full'; // Here is your discount getting $_POST
$dis = array('full'=>'memebers:','half'=>'Committee 50%','free'=>'Leader Free','badge'=>'Badge 20%');

echo "<form id='form1'>	";
	foreach($dis as $value=>$lable){
		echo "<input name='discount' type='radio' value='$value' ";
		if($value==$discount){
			echo 'checked ';
		}
		echo ">$lable:<br />";
	}
	echo "</form>";

?>
