passing values from radio buttons to a hyperlink

[nicuz]

Here's my code:

echo "<table cellspacing='10' border='0' cellpadding='0' width='100%'>";
echo "<tr><td width='20'></td>
<td>Ad Name</td></tr>";

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
extract($row);
echo "<tr><td><input name='vAd' type='radio' value='$adID'></td>
<td>{$row['adName']}</td></tr>";
}
echo "<tr><td colspan='2' width='10'>
<table cellspacing='10' border='0' cellpadding='0' width='100%'>
<tr><td><a href='edit_add.php?id=$adID'>Edit</a></td></tr></table>
</td></tr></table>";

I would like to pass the value $adID from the radio buttons to this link here: <a href='edit_add.php?id=$adID'>Edit</a>
But no matter what radio button I choose, when I click the Edit link, the ID doesn't change. Any sugestions? Thanks.

Hi,

You are not using the correct variable. Your field has the name of 'vAd', so this is what you must access:

echo "<a href='edit_add.php?id=$vAd'>";

or if register globals are off:

echo "<a href='edit_add.php?id='".$_POST['vAd']."'>";

That did not work...

However, if I put all my code into the while structure like this:

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC))
{

echo "<table cellspacing='10' border='0' cellpadding='0' width='100%'>";
echo "<tr><td width='20'></td>
<td>Ad Name</td></tr>";

extract($row);
echo "<tr><td><input name='vAd' type='radio' value='$adID'></td>
<td>{$row['adName']}</td></tr>";

echo "<tr><td colspan='2' width='10'>
<table cellspacing='10' border='0' cellpadding='0' width='100%'>
<tr><td><a href='edit_add.php?id=$adID'>Edit</a></td></tr></table>
</td></tr></table>";
}

it will work, the id will change but it will also generate a new table everytime, and I don't want this.
