Creating a form that chooses two variables depending on the selection of one of two radio buttons.
How would I do this? It is only a simple script and I would like the form which is only a text field input which is to be turned into a string and the two radio options which decide wheter the string is processed by highlight_string or show_source for example.
Thanks all!!

HuH???
Maybe it’s me but I am not sure what you are asking…
Either way… What have you tried to resolve it?
We are here to HELP not to write your scripts for you.
I think Paul put it best with HUH?!! Please try to clearify what you are trying to accomplish and let us know what you have tried.
i think what you’re trying to ask is how to use basic statements, such as an if clause, and access variables from a submitted form, using either a method of get or post. if that’s the case, you need to read up a bit on your php:
if statements: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.c … uctures.if
accessing data from a form using get or post: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.v … ternal.php
Sort of the right lines.
I mean like you have a form, and on it you have a text input, two radio buttons and a submit button.
When submit is clicked, the PHP script should process the value of the text box depending on which radio button is selected.
I.e. sort of like this I guess: -
$source = file_get_contents($input);
$output = htmlspecialchars($source);
// what should I set this statement as?
if
//if radio button 1 is selected
echo nl2br($output);
else
//if radio button 2 is selected
echo "<pre>n $output n</pre>"
}
You need to read up on http://us3.php.net/else and http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.control-structures.php#control-structures.if
Understanding IF structures is a basic of ALL programming. I think any explanation here would be a waste. We are here to help, not write your scripts but you must help yourself and learn the basics. Those links above should get you started.
