About Forms and Post 1

[NVSbe]

I'm rather new, and very confused about php.. I'm reading up though, and I like to think I'm slowly getting better... I have a problem which is puzzling me, though...

I have nested forms set up like this

<FORM ACTION = &quot;result.php&quot; METHOD = &quot;POST&quot;>
<FORM NAME = &quot;f1&quot;>
<INPUT TYPE = &quot;RADIO&quot; VALUE=&quot;1&quot; NAME=&quot;A1&quot;> x
<INPUT TYPE = &quot;RADIO&quot; VALUE=&quot;2&quot; NAME=&quot;A2&quot;> y
<INPUT TYPE = &quot;RADIO&quot; VALUE=&quot;3&quot; NAME=&quot;A3&quot;> z
</FORM>

<FORM NAME = &quot;f2&quot;>
<INPUT TYPE = &quot;RADIO&quot; VALUE=&quot;1&quot; NAME=&quot;A1&quot;> x
<INPUT TYPE = &quot;RADIO&quot; VALUE=&quot;2&quot; NAME=&quot;A2&quot;> y
<INPUT TYPE = &quot;RADIO&quot; VALUE=&quot;3&quot; NAME=&quot;A3&quot;> z
</FORM>

<INPUT TYPE=&quot;SUBMIT&quot;>
</FORM>

The radiobuttons are being filled with data from a database, and for each record in the table, a subform is made... The question is, in result.php, which variables are in the array? Is there a way to check?

echo &quot;<pre>&quot;;
print_r($_POST);

Thanks... the results were.. interesting, though not what I expected. Appearantly, the array is empty, unless A1 from f1 is checked, in that case it has A1=1 in it.. Does this make sense?

I removed the nested forms, and put all the radiobuttons in one form... this seems to work better...

Yeah, I'm no expert on forms, but I wasn't even aware you could nest forms like that... in fact when I tried to cut'n'paste your code my submit button didn't work (using the firebird browser). In other words, I have no idea what makes sense and what doesn't for what's actually in the array.

I do not believe that forms can be nested - at least it is not mentioned in the W3C specification for HTML4.
It would also make no sense to nest forms.
