I thought I provided the whole code, but looks like it somehow got lost in the thread.
Here is the main file I would like to use for my data entry:
Main:
<?php
// Make a MySQL Connection
mysql_connect("localhost", "xxx", "xxx") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("yyy") or die(mysql_error());
//The variables posted from the PHP form
$start = $_POST["start"];
?>
<ul>
<form action="" method="post">
<li>Select the type of your starting point of interest:<br/>
<div id="start_menu"><form action="test_getrss.php" name="form1" method="post">
<span><input type="radio" value="Apartment" name="start"
onclick="check(document.form1.start)"/> Apartment </span>
<span><input type="radio" value="Grocery" name="start"
onclick="check(document.form1.start)"/> Grocery </span>
</form></div></li> </ul>
<form action="process.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="form1" value="<?php echo $start?>"/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit"/>
<input type="reset" value="Reset" name="reset"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
This is the script that I use to construct the drop down menu in test_getrss.php
<?php
//get the q parameter from URL
// Make a MySQL Connection
mysql_connect("localhost", "xxx", "xxx") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("xxxe") or die(mysql_error());
$q=$_GET["q"];
$query="SELECT name FROM start_from WHERE type='" . $q . "'";
//find out which feed was selected
$result = mysql_query ($query);
echo "<select name='start_location'>";
// printing the list box select command
while($nt=mysql_fetch_array($result)){//Array or records stored in $nt
echo "<option value=$nt[0]>$nt[0]</option>";
/* Option values are added by looping through the array */
}
echo "</select>";// Closing of list box
?>
See, I am trying to get the users pick something from the <select name="start_location"> and have the info in there to pass on to process.php
<?php
//get the q parameter from URL
// Make a MySQL Connection
mysql_connect("localhost", "xxx", "xxx") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("yyy") or die(mysql_error());
$form1 = $_POST['form1'];
echo "Start Location " . $form1 . "<br />";
?>
Therefore, the radio button info. does not need to be recorded. This is not the only field I need to pass to process.php, which the data would be used to enter into a database. I am leaving what is not working in my code. I hope this helps in understanding what my problem may be.
Thanks for your help.
Alice
