PHP Simple Script for radio buttons
Hi,
Basically I want to make a choice selection page with PHP and radio buttons. If a user selects option 1 I want to direct them to page 1, option 2 go to page 2 etc. Could anyone point me in the direction of a page that has a sample form like this. I'm not too familiar with PHP syntax so I'm having problems creating it myself.
Thanks,
D

Hi,
Thanks for your response. I'm just wondering is this the most effeciant way to do it though as there will be over 15 pages of questions so that will mean I will have to have 15 other php pages or can I define all of these $radionselection variables on the one page and direct all of the forms to this page?
Thanks,
D

You can use one page for all of them, just by using the if statement ....
if ($radioselection == 1)
{
// do processing for page 1;
}
elseif ($radioselection == 2)
{
// do processing for page 2;
}
etc....
However, since (presumably) the processing will be the same whether it's one page or 15, it might be more useful to use separate php scripts and include them, just for ease of maintenance.
if ($radioselection == 1)
{
// do processing for page 1;
}

{

}

here is another way you can do it
<?
if(isset($_POST['go'])){
$pagetogo = $_POST['radio'];
if($pagetogo == 1){
header("Location: page1.php");
exit;
}
if($pagetogo == 2){
header("Location: page2.php");
exit;
}
?>

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">

<input type="radio" name="radio" id="radio" value="1" />
</label>
Go to Page 1<br />
<label>
<input type="radio" name="radio" id="radio2" value="2" />
</label>
Go to page 2
<br />
<label>
<input type="submit" name="go" id="submit" value="Submit >>" />
</label>
</form>
<p> </p>
</body>
</html>
even you do this with javascript .. .by onclick you can redirect to the desired page

Thanks guys,
I have went with your idea syedasimmeesaq:and have put the php onto the page. For some reason it is giving me the error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /homepages/29/d233428725/h
when I run it?

<form ..... action="radiobuttonpage.ph
<input name= radiobutton type=radio value=1 .....>

Then in radiobuttonpage.php, just check which radio button was selected and include the page for that button.
$radioselection = $_POST["radiobutton"];
if ($radioselection ==1 )
include "page1.php";
elseif ($radioselection ==2)
include "page2.php";
else .....
