multistep form page

@NickG21Jan 17.2007

as i am sure most of you have read AT LEAST one post of mine involving this, my situation has yet to improve all of that much. all of the information i have been receiving from everyone has been great and has led me closer and closer to achieving what i want but I just can’t seem to get there overall. As i mentioned yesterday i am using a class i wrote using the ZervWizard.class.php from phpriot.com and have used his example to create my own class. The form works extremely well, except I am unable to process any checkboxes or radio buttons and i don’t know why. i cannot print or echo their values or anything and i don’t know why. here is the format that the ZervWizard class takes variables, and how i am trying to display them.

[CODE]$SendReports = $this->coalesce($form[‘SendReports’],”); $this->setValue(‘SendReports’, $SendReports); SendReports is a set of 3 radio buttons

<b>List Administrator Reports:</b> <?= $wizard->getValue(‘SendReports’)?>

This displays the values of regular text boxes and drop down menus fine, but will not work for this radio button or checkbox situation. [/CODE]

anyone have any ideas?

[CODE]            <input type="radio" name="MailingListServiceLevel[]" value="Standard" checked/> <a href="announcement-email-standard.html" target="_blank">Standard</a><br>
 <input type="radio" name="MailingListServiceLevel[]" value="Professional" /> <a href="announcement-email-professional.html" target="_blank">Professional</a><br>
 <input type="radio" name="MailingListServiceLevel[]" value="Enterprise" /> <a href="announcement-email-enterprise.html" target="_blank">Enterprise</a>
 
 <input type="radio" name="SendReports[]" value="Daily" checked>Daily<br>
 <input type="radio" name="SendReports[]" value="Weekly">Weekly<br>
 <input type="radio" name="SendReports[]" value="Monthly">Monthly<br>
 
 [/CODE]

@BWWebDesignsJan 18.2007 — #yeah i dont se anything wrong there myself

i ndont know why but wheni use form elements i always put name="something" and also use id="something" not sure fo that makes a difference but hey worth a try

@NightShift58Jan 20.2007 — #I think that the problem has to do with the fact that you're using the array form ([]) of defining the radio buttons. Try it without:

[code=php]<input type="radio" name="MailingListServiceLevel" value="Standard" checked/> <a href="announcement-email-standard.html" target="_blank">Standard</a><br>
 <input type="radio" name="MailingListServiceLevel" value="Professional" /> <a href="announcement-email-professional.html" target="_blank">Professional</a><br>
 <input type="radio" name="MailingListServiceLevel" value="Enterprise" /> <a href="announcement-email-enterprise.html" target="_blank">Enterprise</a>
 
 <input type="radio" name="SendReports" value="Daily" checked>Daily<br>
 <input type="radio" name="SendReports" value="Weekly">Weekly<br>
 <input type="radio" name="SendReports" value="Monthly">Monthly<br>[/code]

What you want out of this is 1 variable with 1 of 3 possible values. By defining them as arrays, you're really getting something completely different.

@NickG21authorJan 22.2007 — #that works excellent, i have been messing with the syntax of that for days, i thought it was necessary to include the array tags. the only problem i am still having is that checkboxes with an onClick event does not store the value in them such as.....

[CODE]<input name="BillingInformation" type="checkbox" value="Yes" onClick="DisableControlGroup(this, SameContact)">[/CODE]

and this is the code for the function it calls

[CODE]function DisableControlGroup(check, group)
 {
 var x, opt;
 if(check.checked)
 {
 opt = true;
 }
 else
 {
 opt = false;
 }
 for(x=0; x < group.length; x++)
 {
 group[x].disabled = opt;
 }
 }[/CODE]

thanks for your other information!

@phpnewbie08Jan 29.2009 — #Hi NickG21,

I had been trying to use the phpriot wizard to create multistep form for days but has no clue how to implement it. Can you please show/describe how you use it? I have read the instruction/steps on the phpriot page many times just couldn't figure out what to do to make it work. I will really appreciate it.
