Hello Chris, Maybe I'm off topic, but wouldn't you consider JavaScript form validation? That will make your task easier and the user will see his/her error much earlier, before he/she submits the form. -- With best regards from Ukraine, Andre Skype: Francophile My blog: http://oire.org/menelion (mostly in Russian) Twitter: http://twitter.com/m_elensule Facebook: http://facebook.com/menelion ------------ Original message ------------ From: Chris Stinemetz <chrisstinemetz@xxxxxxxxx> To: RQuadling@xxxxxxxxx Date created: , 9:44:05 PM Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Re: radio form submission #### radio select validation #### What I am doing wrong? I want to make sure a radio button is selected, but my current code allows insertion even when radio button isn't selected. My code is: //Generating radio buttons for store type with array echo 'Store type:<br /><br />'; $choices = array('corporate' => 'Cricket owned | ', 'premier' => 'Premier dealer'); foreach ($choices as $key => $choice) { echo "<input type='radio' name='store_type' value='$key'/> $choice \n"; } //Validate the radio button submission if (!array_key_exists($_POST['store_type'], $choices)) { echo "You must select a valid choice."; } Thanks -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
