hi to every one.. i'm just wondering if a radio button's name will be coming from a query result.. please see my code below..


<?php while($r_cat = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { ?>
<tr>
<?php $ctr = count($dept_id);?>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td><?php echo $r_cat['cat_name']; ?></td>
<td><input type="radio" name="<?php echo $r_cat['cat_name'];?>" id="radio" value="3" /></td>
<td><input type="radio" name="<?php echo $r_cat['cat_name'];?>" id="radio2" value="1" /></td>
<td><input type="radio" name="<?php echo $r_cat['cat_name'];?>" id="radio3" value="-3" /></td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<?php }//end while ($r_cat = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) ?>

notice the name of the radio button came from a result.. is it possible to get the post value of this radio button.. like $_POST['name of the radio button']..?

yes, just use:

PHP Code:

$_POST['name of the radio button']; 


rogem002, seems like you did not understand me.. see this code...
name="<?php echo $r_cat['cat_name'];?>" is it possible to post this as
$_POST['<?php echo $r_cat['cat_name'];?>].. i know its not.. my question is how will i post the name of this radio button

I *think* you mean like this.

PHP Code:

$_POST[$r_cat['cat_name']]  // This is valid
