Why can't I retrieve radio button variables?
Not sure what the problem is.. it's coming back with a value of "1" for the form variables, instead of the value put into the form by the user. Where is it getting the "1" from and how do I fix it?

isset returns a boolean (represented as 1 or 0 in a string), 1 (true) if the variable is set, 0 (false) if it isn't.
Thus, when you do this:
//Once the form elements have been filled in, extract data from form and store in
//variables
$myName = isset($_POST['txtName']);
$myAge = isset($_POST['mnuAge']);
$myFav = isset($_POST['rdFav']);
$myQuestion = isset($_POST['txaQuestions']);
You're setting all the variables to 1 if they are set or 0 if not.
You can fix the code as follows:
//Once the form elements have been filled in, extract data from form and store in
//variables
if(isset($_POST['txtName']) {
$myName = $_POST['txtName'];
};
// etc
Shouldn't these variables:
$myName = isset($_POST['txtName']);
$myAge = isset($_POST['mnuAge']);
$myFav = isset($_POST['rdFav']);
$myQuestion = isset($_POST['txaQuestions'])
Be these:
$myName = $_POST['txtName'];
$myAge = $_POST['mnuAge'];
$myFav = ['rdFav'];
$myQuestion = $_POST['txaQuestions'];
Otherwise, you're just storing whether they have been set, not their values.
isset() tests if the value exists. To get the actual value, you just need to do the statements like $var = $_GET['var'];.
$myName = isset($_POST['txtName']);
This returns 1 because isset() returns a Boolean value; 1 if the value is set, and 0 (TRUE or FALSE in string form) if the value is not set, as the manual says:
Returns TRUE if var exists and has value other than NULL, FALSE otherwise.
Try using:
if (isset($_POST['txtName'])) {
$myName = $_POST['txtName'];
}
You are doing two things wrong (the while and the isset), which can probably fixed and simplified with this approach:
// Prepare defaults for unset fields:
$defaults = array(
"myName" => "anonymous",
"myAge" => "unspecified",
"myFav" => "unspecified",
"myQuestion" => "unspecified"
);
// make local variables
extract(array_merge($defaults, array_intersect_key(array_filter($_POST), $defaults)));
# $myName, $myAge, ...
This avoids the isset test which you stumbled over, and only extracts the four variables from POST which you are actually interested in (and the defaults get applied as well).
Instead of
while (!(isset($myName) || isset($myAge) || isset($myFav) || isset($myComments)))
{
$myName = "anonymous";
$myAge = "unspecified";
$myFav = "unspecified";
$myQuestion = "unspecified";
}
Which is quite wrong, since there's no looping going on and why do you check if isset now, and then do it again later?
You can just use:
$myName = isset($_POST['txtName']) ? $_POST['txtName'] : 'anonymous';
$myAge = isset($_POST['mnuAge']) ? $_POST['mnuAge'] : 'unspecified';
$myFav = isset($_POST['radFav']) ? $_POST['radFav'] : 'unspecified';
$myQuestion = isset($_POST['txaQuestions']) ? $_POST['txaQuestions'] : 'unspecified';
As stated by the other users, isset returns a boolean (true/false but also 1/0), and that's the 1 you're getting instead of the actual $_POST var.
