Question

So I have a form that users fill out with some radio buttons. The values from the radio buttons get passed to MySQL. I now want to pull those values from the database, display them in a table on a different page, and apply different styles to them with span tags.

Here’s the code from the form:

<input class="radio_style" type="radio" name="job_type" value="fulltime"/>Full-time<br/>
<input class="radio_style" type="radio" name="job_type" value="parttime"/>Part-time<br />

Here’s the code for the page where I want to display it:

<div class='job_type_div'>
    <?php if($job_type=='fulltime') {?>
        <span class='job_type_style'>
            <?php echo $row['job_type']; ?>
        </span>
   <?php if($job_type=='parttime') {?>
        <span class='job_type_style2'>
            <?php echo $row['job_type']; ?>
        </span>
            <?php } ?>
    <?php } ?>
</div>

So ideally, the “fulltime” value will have one style and the “parttime” value will have another style. But when I try running this code, nothing happens. I’m definitely connecting to the database correctly. And the row name is properly labelled “job_type”. Any ideas on where I might be going wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Answer 1

may be problem in your php. Is there some logic?

$job_type=null;
if($job_type=='fulltime'){
   ...
   if($job_type=='parttime'){
      ...
   }
}

did you set $job_type variable? May be you need something like this:

<div class='job_type_div'>
    <?php if($row['job_type']=='fulltime') {?>
        <span class='job_type_style'>
            <?php echo $row['job_type']; ?>
        </span>
   <?php } elseif($row['job_type']=='parttime') {?>
        <span class='job_type_style2'>
            <?php echo $row['job_type']; ?>
        </span>
    <?php } ?>
</div>
