Making a Poll in PHP
I have been trying to figure out how the radiobutton works...
You see my poll has 3 options
Vote1
Vote2
Vote3
Now IF Vote1 is checked (radiobutton) then
print "it works";
but how does my code know if the radiobutton is checked or not?
I tryied this code but it wont work:
<?php
if (form1.radio.checked){
echo "it works";
?>Please help!!

The radio button passes a different value depanding on which is selected. For example
You know which radio button is selected by the value passed, ie:
if (form1.radio.value == "selction_one")
.
.
.
etc.

Well, I'm not a php expert, but I don't think your problem has to do with the conditional statement. i think your problem is trying to print to the page after it has been loaded. To put it in simpler javascript terms, when you create, or load a page, you go through this sequence...
document.open();
document.write();
document.close();
In HTML the closing body tag is issuing a body.close(). Once that command had been issued you can no longer write to a page. I think your conditional is working just fine, but the document has already been closed. I think your form would have an action to call a page that had your conditional check on it that then created another page.

<?php
if ($r == "v1"){
print "works";
}
?>
