Pleas help. If I want to show user

[yj7sum]

Pleas help. If I want to show user's input in the text box, then it's "if (!(defined $input->{''})). However, if I want to show that a user picks one of the options in the radio button, either "look up" or "add to database", what kind of syntax should I use?

I use $input {"info"} to refer to each of the radio button. How do I refer to one specific ratio button, let say if look up is picked, then do something after that?

<form METHOD=&quot;POST&quot; ACTION=&quot;/cgi-bin/name.pl&quot;>

Account Number: <INPUT TYPE=&quot;text&quot; SIZE=25 NAME=&quot;accountnum&quot;>

Look up: <INPUT TYPE=&quot;radio&quot; NAME=&quot;info&quot; VALUE=&quot;lookup&quot; CHECKED>

Add to database: <INPUT TYPE=&quot;radio&quot; NAME=&quot;info&quot; VALUE=&quot;addb&quot;>

Thank you in advance.

If each of your radio buttons has a different value, then the value for that form element will have the value of the selected radio button. For example:

if ( $input{"info"} eq "lookup" ) {
   # do lookup here
} elsif ( $input{"info"} eq "addb" ) {
   # do add here
} else {
   # no button selected
}
