Function Help

[cschoon]

Hello,

I have a radio function I created.
<?php
function questionnaire($name, $choices, $q)
{
// setting up the select option
foreach ($choices as $c):
$radioSelected = ($c == $q ? 'checked="checked"' : "");
$radio .=<<<EOD
<input name="$name" type="radio" value="$c" />
<input name="work" type="hidden" value="testing" />
EOD;
endforeach;
return $radio;
}
?>
$choices = Array("items1", items2", etcc..);
I call it like $trac = questionnaire("Tracheostomy", $choices, $row_nameInformation['Tracheostomy']);
When I preview the source on the page the html rendered looks correctly.

But when I post to an update_Page.php I can't get the post to work. When I check for $name or the hidden "work" as a test it comes up blank each time. I have a dropdown select menu, a yes no menu which I have set up functions the same way and they all work.

Any help as to what I am missing with the radio?/
Thanks

Glad you got it, but can you post what you found, so that others might learn?

Glad that you got it.
But the way you presented your problem is poor. Hope you can present your solution in a neater way

Well I was hoping to just delete the thread because the function was working I just forgot to put inside the form. So naturally when I hit submit it would make sense nothing would post. So if someone comes across this post looking for a function for multiple radio button(s), it works just put inside the form. Have a good laugh



Function
<?php
function questionnaire($name, $choices, $q)
{
// setting up the select option
foreach ($choices as $c):
$radioSelected = ($c == $q ? 'checked="checked"' : "");
$radio .=<<<EOD
<input name="$name" type="radio" value="$c" />
<input name="work" type="hidden" value="testing" />
EOD;
endforeach;
return $radio;
}
?>

How use it in php page:
$var = questionnaire("Tracheostomy", $var(this one is an array for me), $var);
