Help needed with creating a radio button form

[sing2trees]

Hi all,

I am using dreamweaver MX and need to (quite urgently!!) create a form with a mixture of text boxes and radio boxes.
Text boxes for simple questions, and then for the radio buttons - there will be a question, and they click the relevant radio button out of four.
I can create a basic form on dreamweaver, but have no idea how to do it so the form submits and emails me the results?
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good (free!) tutorial to learn as I am guessing it will be too much to put in a post!
Many thanks
Ben

Do you need to store the results somewhere or simply email them to yourself?

If you simply need to email them to yourself then have a look at the mail function in PHP

As for processing the results in the first place, the first think you will need to do is check to see if the form has been submitted so you would have something like this:

PHP: Select all

if ($_POST[Submit])
{
   //Code for processing the data goes here.
} 

So for example if you have a form with a textbox to enter your name the code should look something like this.

HTML: Select all

<form name="form1" method="post" action="$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']">

<input name="name" type="text" id="name" size="100">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">

</form>

Then to process the code you would have something like this.

PHP: Select all

if ($_POST[Submit])
{
   $name = $_POST[name]; //This stores the value from Name into a variable which can then be passed through to your mail function.
} 

This should give you an outline of how to do it without giving you the whole answer

Hope this helps.
