You can use the "onchange()" function. Maybe something like this:

Yes <input type="radio" name="myradio" value="yes" onchange="document.location='page1.html';">

No <input type="radio" name="myradio" value="no" onchange="document.location='page2.html';">

Other <input type="radio" name="myradio" value="other" onchange="document.location='page3.html';">

Good Luck.

Hi, m! Garry's JavaScript onchange() is probably best, but if I were to do something like that in PHP, it would depend upon what was on the other pages. What you seem to be asking is how to change the form action page based on a user selection, but you usually cannot evaluate what a user does on a form until the form has been submitted (except w/JavaScript which is browser-side).

So, you may want to consider taking the user to the same page first, no matter what, and then implementing your conditions. Then, based on the $_POST['myradio'] value, either show the appropriate information for each value OR use the form action page as a transition page only which will then use a meta-refresh to take the user to the appropriate page.

TRANSITION...

myformpage.php > transitionpage.php > page1.php, page2.php, or page3.php

3-PAGES-IN-1...

I would also probably use a swtich( ) instead of if ( ) but that's up to you....

$myradio = $_POST['myradio'];

swtich ($myradio)

{

case "yes":

// all your yes code or include

break;

case "no":

// all your no code or include

break;

case "other":

// all your other code or include

break;

default:

echo ("Only 'yes', 'no', or 'other' can be selected. <br> n");

}
