    Default Help! Not sure how to do something..

    I'm absolutely stumped by this so I'll try and explain it the best I can.

    I'd like to make an attendance system for a web app I'm making (nothing public, just a closed personal system). I want to grab all the data from the 'users' table and display the 'forename' and 'surname' on a table. Then each 'name' will have a radio button group. Like this:

    PHP Code:
    <?php
    include "functions.php";
    $query "SELECT * FROM users ORDER by surname ASC";
    $result mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
    $row mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
    ?>
    <table>
    <tr>
    <td>Name</td>
    <td colspan="5"></td>
    </tr>
    <form id="form" name="form" method="post" action="process.php">
    <?php do { ?>
    <tr>
    <td><?php echo $row['forename']. ' ' .$row['surname']; ?></td>
    <td><input type="radio" name="<?php echo $row['id']; ?>" id="<?php echo $row['id']; ?>_PU" value="PU" >PU</td>
    <td><input type="radio" name="<?php echo $row['id']; ?>" id="<?php echo $row['id']; ?>_PC" value="PC">PC</td>
    <td><input type="radio" name="<?php echo $row['id']; ?>" id="<?php echo $row['id']; ?>_AA" value="AA">AA</td>
    <td><input type="radio" name="<?php echo $row['id']; ?>" id="<?php echo $row['id']; ?>_S" value="S">S</td>
    <td><input type="radio" name="<?php echo $row['id']; ?>" id="<?php echo $row['id']; ?>_AWOL" value="AWOL">AWOL</td>
    </tr>
    <?php } while ($row mysql_fetch_assoc($result)); ?> 
    </form>
    </table>
    Now, what would I have to do, so that when I press the submit button, it will get all this data, and add the data to a table called attendance? I want the table to look something like this

    id user_id record date
    *AI* 1 (or row['id']) PU (or one of the radio buttons) CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

    with the id and date being automatic.

    Can anyone shed any light? I'm pretty new to this and just tinkering around

    Many thanks in advance

    I figured it out. For anyone interested:

    PHP Code:
    <?php
    include "functions.php";
    $query "SELECT * FROM users ORDER by surname ASC";
    $result mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
    $row mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
    ?>
    <table>
        <tr>
            <td>Name</td>
            <td colspan="5"></td>
        </tr>

    <tbody>
        <form id="form" name="form" method="post" >
        <?php
            $idx  
    0;
            do { 
        
    ?>
            <tr>
                <td><?php echo $row['forename']. ' ' .$row['surname']; ?></td>
                <td><input type="radio" name="radioName[<?php echo $idx?>]" value="PU" >PU</td>
                <td><input type="radio" name="radioName[<?php echo $idx?>]" value="PC">PC</td>
                <td><input type="radio" name="radioName[<?php echo $idx?>]" value="AA">AA</td>
                <td><input type="radio" name="radioName[<?php echo $idx?>]" value="S">S</td>
                <td><input type="radio" name="radioName[<?php echo $idx?>]" value="AWOL">AWOL</td>
            </tr>
            <input type = "hidden" value = "<?php echo $row['id']; ?>" name="userId[<?php echo $idx?>]">

            <?php $idx ++; ?>
            <?php } while ($row mysql_fetch_assoc($result)); ?> 
    </tbody>
            <input type = "submit" value = "Register" >
        </form>

    </table>


    </br>
    <?php 

    if (isset($_POST['radioName'][0])) {
        
        foreach (
    $_POST['radioName'] as $index => $value) {
            

            if (empty(
    $value)) {
                echo 
    "You must select the radio button.";
                break;
            }
            
    $record $_POST['radioName'][$index];
            
    $userId $_POST['userId'][$index];
            
            
    $query "INSERT INTO attendance(user_id, record, date)
            VALUE ('
    $userId','$record', NOW())";
            
    $result mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' mysql_error());
        }
        echo 
    "Data stored successly!";
    }

    ?>
