Hiya... good stuff I've gleaned here... thanks in advance. :)
I'm just getting started in web stuff.... PHP... etc.


Here's what I'm trying to do:

Trying to create an Entry Form


[drop down] for which event you are entering
(prolly use HTML "option" --- cause I know how LOL)

[radio] for one of two types.... TypeA ot TypeB

Depending on [radio] response above, offer 6 classes for each [A thru F]
They can choose MORE than one class (so checkboxes)



Then a bunch more data.... simple stuff...

Name
Address
City
State
ZIP
Phone


etc etc etc


Then I will take all this data and save it to a flat file (a CSV),
and send to a third-party credit card processing site... to a PHP.





The HARD part for me is the "conditional" processing for the [radio]
button. It's driving me crazy.


Thanks!
Mark :)

<form action="apage.php">
<input type="radio" name="group1" value="Milk"> Milk<br>
<input type="radio" name="group1" value="Butter"> Butter<br>
<input type="Submit">
</form>

switch($_REQUEST['group1']) {
case 'Milk':
echo "You like milk!<br>\n";
break;
case 'Butter':
echo "You like butter!!!<br>\n";
break;
default:
echo "You don't like anything<br>\n";
break; //not needed, but a good habbit
}

Thanks for the guidance... but is there anyway to do this WITHOUT
another "Submit" button? Such as when one of the 2 radio buttons
is clicked, THEN move on.

Excellent example above.... Thanks again.

Another submit button? Don't you just hate it when you make a realy nice
submit button and then you just can't remember where you left it. ;)

If you want to do it without submit button, then you need to use javascript,
but this ain't a javascript newsgroup, I think comp.lang.javascript would be
far better group to ask that kind of question.

I prefer to use as little as possible of javascript, as nowadays more and more
users turn that off, which would make the form of yours to fail.
