The following code should bring up a screen which gives you 2 options, so far so good it works, but then which ever option you choose it still goes with option 1, is there an error in the script I can't see?

Code:

<form> Do you wish to load in the data from a text file : <input type="radio" name="intype" value="1"> <br> or do you wish to input manually one by one : <input type="radio" name="intype" value="2"> <br> <input type="submit" name="submit"> </form> <?php $intype=$_GET[intype]; print "$intype<br>"; if ($intype="1") {      Print"intype = $intype<br>";      } elseif ($intype="2") {      ?>      <form> <input name="film" type="text"> <input name="rating" type="text"> <input type="radio" name="owner" value="chris"> <input type="radio" name="owner" value="jim"> <input type="radio" name="owner" value="Kie"> <input type="submit" name="submit"> </form> <?php $film=$_GET[film]; $rating=$_GET[rating]; $owner=$_GET[owner]; $all=$film.", ".$rating.", ".$owner."\n"; print $film."<br>"; print "<br>$all<br>"; $fh=fopen("/usr/home/tafuk.com/htdocs/dvddata.txt","a"); fwrite($fh,$all); } else {print "not an option!!!";} ?>

Code:

if ($intype="1") {

shouldn't that be:
Code:

if ($intype == "1") {

Your setting $intype to 1 in your case, not testing for its value.

Note:
You've also done the same thing with the elseif below it.

opps!  Thanks
