How to send value attribute from radio button in PHP [closed]

Question

I am struggling with sending the value of a radiobutton to an email.

I have coded 2 radiobuttons, where I have set the first on to be default checked.

The form and values work, however the radio button value is not submitted.

Any wise words?

Without your code, all we can do is copy and paste from the HTML spec. – Agriculturist

Answer 1

When you select a radio button and click on a submit button, you need to handle the submission of any selected values in your php code using $_POST[] For example: if your radio button is:

<input type="radio" name="rdb" value="male"/>

then in your php code you need to use:

$rdb_value = $_POST['rdb'];

thanks, yes it was the value attribute ... I was teaching myself from scratch, but your answer actually helped me solve several other problems too ... so thank you very much :-) – Douville

Answer 2

Check whether you have put name="your_radio" where you have inserted radio tag

if you have done this then check your php code. Use isset()

e.g.

   if(isset($_POST['submit']))
   {
    /*other variables*/
    $radio_value = $_POST["your_radio"];
   }

If you have done this as well then we need to look through your codes

should I use same name for radio buttons in html? – Shadbush

yes and the value will be either true or false – Eddi

Answer 3

The radio buttons are sent on form submit when they are checked only...

use isset() if true then its checked otherwise its not

Radio buttons have another attribute - checked or unchecked. You need to set which button was selected by the user, so you have to write PHP code inside the HTML with these values - checked or unchecked. Here's one way to do it:

The PHP code:

<?PHP
    $male_status = 'unchecked';
    $female_status = 'unchecked';

    if (isset($_POST['Submit1'])) {
         $selected_radio = $_POST['gender'];

         if ($selected_radio == 'male') {
                $male_status = 'checked';
          }else if ($selected_radio == 'female') {
                $female_status = 'checked';
          }
    }
?>

The HTML FORM code:

<FORM name ="form1" method ="post" action ="radioButton.php">
   <Input type = 'Radio' Name ='gender' value= 'male'
   <?PHP print $male_status; ?>
   >Male
   <Input type = 'Radio' Name ='gender' value= 'female' 
   <?PHP print $female_status; ?>
   >Female
   <P>
   <Input type = "Submit" Name = "Submit1" VALUE = "Select a Radio Button">
</FORM>

Should be :

HTML :

<form method="post" action="">
    <input id="name" name="name" type="text" size="40"/>
    <input type="radio" name="radio" value="test"/>Test
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>

PHP Code :

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{

    echo $radio_value = $_POST["radio"];
}
