如何跟踪来自 php 回显表的响应

Question

I have code in a while loop that ultimately echoes out 30 questions. Since its iterating with the same code just different variable values, I cannot track a tag to use _POST with.

Is there anyway for me to store all the answers the user chooses while using a while loop?

code:

  while (counter !=0) {
        echo '
            <form method="post">

                <input type="radio" id="answerA" name= "answerA " value="answerA" required> 
                <label for="answerA"> ' . $row['answerA'] . ' </label><br>
                <input type="radio" id="answerB" name="answerB" value="answerB"> 
                <label for="answerB"> ' . $row['answerB'] . ' </label><br>
                <input type="radio" id="answerC" name="answerC" value="answerC"> 
                <label for="answerC"> ' . $row['answerC'] . ' </label><br>
                <input type="radio" id="answerD" name="answerD" value="answerD">
                <label for="answerD"> ' . $row['answerD'] . ' </label><br>


            </form>
        '
        ;

}

Put the row ID in a hidden input. The you can use $_POST['id'] to know which question it's the answer to.

while (counter !=0) {
    echo '
        <form method="post">

            <input type="radio" id="answerA-' . $row['id'] . '" name= "answer-' . $row['id'] . '" value="answerA" required> 
            <label for="answerA-' . $row['id'] . '"> ' . $row['answerA'] . ' </label><br>
            <input type="radio" id="answerB-' . $row['id'] . '" name="answer-' . $row['id'] . '" value="answerB"> 
            <label for="answerB-' . $row['id'] . '"> ' . $row['answerB'] . ' </label><br>
            <input type="radio" id="answerC-' . $row['id'] . '" name="answer-' . $row['id'] . '" value="answerC"> 
            <label for="answerC-' . $row['id'] . '"> ' . $row['answerC'] . ' </label><br>
            <input type="radio" id="answerD-' . $row['id'] . '" name="answer-' . $row['id'] . '" value="answerD">
            <label for="answerD-' . $row['id'] . '"> ' . $row['answerD'] . ' </label><br>
            <input type="hidden" name="id" value="' . $row['id'] . '">

        </form>
    '
    ;

}

There are other issues. IDs have to be unique, so you should include the question ID in the IDs of each of the answers.

All the names in a radio group have to be the same, that's how the browser knows they're alternative answers to the same question. But each form needs to have distinct radio groups. So you should take A , B , C and D out of the radio button names, but add in the question ID.
