I thought I provided the whole code, but looks like it somehow got lost in the
thread.
Here is the main file I would like to use for my data entry:
Main:
<?php
// Make a MySQL Connection
mysql_connect("localhost", "xxx", "xxx") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("yyy") or die(mysql_error());
//The variables posted from the PHP form
$start = $_POST["start"];
?>
<ul>
<form action="" method="post">
<li>Select the type of your starting point of interest:<br/>
<div id="start_menu"><form
action="test_getrss.php" name="form1" method="post">
<span><input type="radio"
value="Apartment" name="start"
onclick="check(document.form1.start)"/> Apartment </span>
<span><input type="radio"
value="Grocery" name="start"
onclick="check(document.form1.start)"/> Grocery </span>
</form></div></li> </ul>
<form action="process.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="form1" value="<?php echo
$start?>"/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit"/>
<input type="reset" value="Reset" name="reset"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
This is the script that I use to construct the drop down menu in test_getrss.php
<?php
//get the q parameter from URL
// Make a MySQL Connection
mysql_connect("localhost", "xxx", "xxx") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("xxxe") or die(mysql_error());
$q=$_GET["q"];
$query="SELECT name FROM start_from WHERE type='" . $q . "'";
//find out which feed was selected
$result = mysql_query ($query);
echo "<select name='start_location'>";
// printing the list box select command
while($nt=mysql_fetch_array($result)){//Array or records stored in $nt
echo "<option value=$nt[0]>$nt[0]</option>";
/* Option values are added by looping through the array */
}
echo "</select>";// Closing of list box
?>
See, I am trying to get the users pick something from the <select
name="start_location"> and have the info in there to pass on to process.php
<?php
//get the q parameter from URL
// Make a MySQL Connection
mysql_connect("localhost", "xxx", "xxx") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("yyy") or die(mysql_error());
$form1 = $_POST['form1'];
echo "Start Location " . $form1 . "<br />";
?>
Therefore, the radio button info. does not need to be recorded. This is not the
only field I need to pass to process.php, which the data would be used to enter
into a database. I am leaving what is not working in my code. I hope this helps
in understanding what my problem may be.
Thanks for your help.
Alice

Alice:
You provide:
<ul>
<form action="" method="post">
<li>Select the type of your starting point of interest:<br/>
<div id="start_menu"><form
action="test_getrss.php" name="form1" method="post">
<span><input type="radio"
value="Apartment" name="start"
onclick="check(document.form1.start)"/> Apartment </span>
<span><input type="radio"
value="Grocery" name="start"
onclick="check(document.form1.start)"/> Grocery
</span>
</form></div></li> </ul>
<form action="process.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="form1"
value="<?php echo $start?>"/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit"/>
<input type="reset" value="Reset" name="reset"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
You also state:

It's very apparent that your problem is multifold and to solve it we
need to take the "solution" in steps.
First, the above HTML code is just plain horrible -- and that's just
html part or the problem -- let alone the more complicated
php/mysql/javascript coding.
If that is the best html code you can write, then I suggest that you
go back to learn html before learning anything else.
So, your assignment (if you want me to continue to help) is to create
a simple form to collect the data you want. Nothing fancy, just a
simple form -- can you do that?
The assignment is in your court. If you can show you can do that,
then we'll proceed to the next step.
Cheers,
tedd

My bad, I cannot imagine I sent that stuff. To answer your question, here it
is,
<form action="" method="post">
<p>Select the type of your starting point of interest:<br/>
<input type="text" name="start" size="20" maxlength="50"/>
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit"></p>
</form>
This is what is working now if I do it this way, but again, then I got to make
sure everything is "typed up properly" before the form is submitted. Does this
answer your questions by any chance?
Thanks for your help.

Alice:
First, always make certain your html code is perfect. Use W3C's validator.
http://validator.w3.org/
I recommend html 1.1 It's really not much extra effort and helps greatly to
insure compatibility with all modern browsers.

Bzzt. You didn't close the previous <form>. You can *not*
have nested <form> elements.

Bzzt. Non-standard DOM references. Use
check(document.forms.form1.elements.start)
or
check(this.form.elements.start)
or
check(this)
Note that the first two will pass a collection of
elements because you have two controls with the
same name. The third will pass a single element.

Bzzt. An input control with the same name as one of the
forms? Wasn't it confusing enough already?

Not saying to use these, but perhaps they could enable a better
understanding of what works:
OS Commerce Module:
http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/4556
MyPHPGoogleCheckout:
http://code.google.com/p/myphpgooglecheckout/
Zen Cart Module:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=314
Google's documentation is pretty pathetic in this case.

Hello everyone,
Sorry, but I'm asking one more time (since it's really annoying me and
I need to apply some really dirty hacks):
Is there a way making preg_replace() pass through the regex one single
time searching from left to right and not to erase what it has already
done?
I can give you a real task I'm accomplishing but the tasks requiring
that tend to multiply...
Thanks a lot!

If you don't want to replace the stuff it has searched then use preg_match !
