Question

what i want to do is that when you vote Y or N (two different radio buttons) and then it inserts into the “vote” column(in database) = Y or N(what you pickd), if nothing then echo error.

I know how to do this like halfway, i never worked with radiobuttons before so i need you guys.

Here’s a two radio button right:

Yes: <input type="radio" value="Y" id="voteYes" name="vote"></input>  <br>
No: <input type="radio" value="N" id="voteNo" name="vote"> </input>

I gave the value N and Y, not the same ID, but the same name. I think its right, but how should i do with the PHP part of what i want to do? I mean shall i call for “vote”? ($_GET[“vote”]) i dont think so.. here’s where im stuck

Answer 1

You’re almost there. Depending on whether or not your form uses the GET or POST method, you’ll have to change the variable name appropriately.

if(isset($_GET["vote"])) //checks to see if the user inputed something
{
    $value = $_GET["vote"]; //remember, this value is not guaranteed to be either Y or N
}
else
{
    //display your error
}
