I want to let the user select one “row” to use to submit the with to request a report type. How can I put radio buttons in the first column of a table and whichever is selected is the active row that gets sent to the next page via the submit button?

    I think Andreas is on the right track, but it’s not as useful as it could be. This should be a bit better:

    <?php 
blah ...

echo <<<HTML
    <form action="handler.php" action="post">
        <table>
HTML;

foreach ($rows as $row)
{
    $id = $row['id'];
    $text = $row['text'];  // escape this unless you know it's safe

    echo <<<HTML
        <tr>
            <td><input type="radio" value="$id" name="theRadioButton" /></td>
            <td><input type="text" name="textfield_$id" value="$text" /></td>
        </tr>
HTML;
}

echo <<<HTML
    </table>
</form>
HTML;

    form handler:

    <?php 
    $id = isset($_POST['theRadioButton']) ? $_POST['theRadioButton'] : null;

    if ($id)
    {
        $textfield = $_POST["textfield_$id"];
    }
?>
