PHP - Accessing Radio Button Values In Php

i have an rsvp page where the table is populated by guests according to event selected in the drop down list. the rsvp table has 2 columns: guest names and status. status(radio button) is divided into 3: unconfirmed(default status), attending and not attending. user has to choose either one. but i am having trouble saving the status. tia for any help!   this is the saving code:

<?php
if(isset($_SESSION['sess_user_id']))
{
	if(isset($_POST['save-rsvp']))
	{
		require "connection.php";
		$name = $_POST['name'];
		$radio = $_POST['rsvp'];
		$session = $_SESSION['sess_user_id'];

		$rsvp = $dbh->prepare("UPDATE guest SET status = ? WHERE guser_id = ? AND guest_name = ?");

		$rad = implode("','", $radio);

		for($i = 0; $i < count($_POST['name']); $i++)
		{
			if(trim($_POST['name'][$i]) !== '')// validate this form
            {
				$rsvp->bindParam(1, $rad, PDO::PARAM_INT);
				$rsvp->bindParam(2, $session, PDO::PARAM_INT);
				$rsvp->bindParam(3, $name[$i], PDO::PARAM_STR);
				$rsvp->execute();
			}
		}
	}
}
?>

which when save doesn't save according to status selected. for example   5 names: noreen, pete, marzuki, nora, mishal   noreen                   unconfirmed pete                       attending marzuki                  attending nora                       attending mishal                   not attending micah                    not attending   when saved, all is saved as unconfirmed.   noreen                   not attending pete                      attending marzuki                 not attending nora                      attending mishal                   not attending micah                    attending   when saved, all is saved as not attending.   noreen                   attending pete                       not attending marzuki                 attending nora                      not attending mishal                   attending micah                    not attending   when saved, all is saved as attending.   it seems to save according to first choice.

Hello!

I am designing a user registration form which has some radio buttons for people to select. I am confused as to how I should store the value selected by the user into the database.

Here is my code, just in case.
<li id="li_2" >
<label class="description" for="element_2">I am a  </label>
<span>
<input id="element_2_1" name="element_2" class="element radio" type="radio" value="1" />
<label class="choice" for="element_2_1">Student</label>
<input id="element_2_2" name="element_2" class="element radio" type="radio" value="2" />
<label class="choice" for="element_2_2">Staff</label>
<input id="element_2_3" name="element_2" class="element radio" type="radio" value="3" />
<label class="choice" for="element_2_3">Member</label>
<input id="element_2_4" name="element_2" class="element radio" type="radio" value="4" />
<label class="choice" for="element_2_4">Other</label>
</span>
</li>

Hi guys,

I am having a real problem with this and I can't figure it out. I am not that much of a techie so take it easy on me.

I am building a survey form for a website to get feedback on the service, and naturally it can fail validation if the email address is misspelled or the security question is answered wrong. Retaining text values was easy and I managed to dig around for some solutions to retain radio button values. The problem is IT ONLY WORKS ON ONE OPTION! I tried everything including coming up with completely separate value names, yet the page still loads with all radio options set to the same shared value (usually of the last radio button question).

Here is my code:

<?PHP

$Excellent_status = 'unchecked';
$VeryGood_status = 'unchecked';
$Satisfactory_status = 'unchecked';
$Weak_status = 'unchecked';
$Horrible_status = 'unchecked';

if (isset($_POST['send'])) 
{

$selected_tk = $_POST['tk'];

if ($selected_tk == 'Excellent') {
$Excellent_status = 'checked';
}
else if ($selected_tk == 'VeryGood') {
$VeryGood_status = 'checked';
}
else if ($selected_tk == 'Satisfactory') {
$Satisfactory_status = 'checked';
}
else if ($selected_tk == 'Weak') {
$Weak_status = 'checked';
}
else if ($selected_tk == 'Horrible') {
$Horrible_status = 'checked';
}
}

$Excellent2_status = 'unchecked';
$VeryGood2_status = 'unchecked';
$Satisfactory2_status = 'unchecked';
$Weak2_status = 'unchecked';
$Horrible2_status = 'unchecked';

if (isset($_POST['send']))
{

$selected_ts = $_POST['ts'];

if ($selected_ts == 'Excellent') {
$Excellent2_status = 'checked';
}
else if ($selected_ts == 'VeryGood') {
$VeryGood2_status = 'checked';
}
else if ($selected_ts == 'Satisfactory') {
$Satisfactory2_status = 'checked';
}
else if ($selected_ts == 'Weak') {
$Weak2_status = 'checked';
}
else if ($selected_ts == 'Horrible') {
$Horrible2_status = 'checked';
}
}

?>

Fact is there are 8 questions (all multiple choice with radio button answers) but I decided to save you a long code read. Basically what I get is that despite choosing different answers for each question, the retention is only of the last option or question, and all the above question choices are set to that choice button.

What is wrong?

I have a database query set up that returns an array. I then cycle through the rows in a foreach statement that wraps each value in a <td> tag to output it to a table.

It works really great, but now I need to access two of the values and add some info to them. The first field returned is an image filename and I want to wrap it in an image tag that also concatenates the image path location to the value. All the images are stored in the same location, so basically I want to take the first value form the array and add the path to where the images are and wrap the whole thing in an <img> tag.

The other field I need to modify is the last value in the array which is actually an email address. For that field I want to make them an active email link so I need to wrap an <a>href=mailto: </a> tag around the value.

How could I modify this code so I could add the necessary tags to these elements of the array?

Here is the code I am running:
Code: [Select]
$query = "Select
                 member_image as 'Image',
                 member_name as 'Name',
                 city as 'City',
                 phone as 'Phone',
                 email as 'Email'
                 FROM directory";

//connect to database
$conn=db_connect();

//call function do_query to run the query and output the table
do_query($conn, $querey);

The functions called are as follows:
Code: [Select]
function db_connect()
{

    $conn = new mysqli("localhost", "username", "password", "databasename");

}

function do_query($conn, $query);
{

    $result = mysqli_query($conn, $query);

   WHILE ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result))
   {
     If (!$heading) //only do if header row hasn't been output yet
     {  $heading = TRUE; //so we only do it once
         echo "<table>\n<tr<>\n";
         foreach ($row as $key => $val)
           { echo "<th>$key</th>";
            }
          echo "</tr>\n";
      }
      echo "<tr>";
      foreach ($row as $val)
     {
          echo "<td> $val </td>";
      }
     echo "</tr>\n";
} //close the while
echo "</table>\n";

}
