Your suggestions please on how to add these

Question

Hi there.
CS3, PHP & mySQL.
Busy finishing a site for real estate agent and now running
out of
ideas.
When adding records, I currently have radio buttons for
things like:
swimming pool, jacuzi, irrigation, fireplace, ect.
If the house has a swimming pool, click the radio button. If
it does
not, don't tick the radio button. At the moment every radio
button has
it's own name and value (swimmingpool).
Problem:
When submitting, errors telling me that the un-ticked columns
cannot be
NULL.
Now, also what I want to accomblish, is this:
On the details page, I want the words of the buttons that
have been
ticked, must be displayed as part of an un-numbered list
(Bullets). When
there is a swmming pool (and all the other extras that are
available),
it must be displayed as:
* Swimming Pool
* Jacuzzi
* Fire place
When there is no Fire Place, the bullet with the word (* Fire
place)
must not be displayed.
I will really welcome any suggestions on how to accomplish
this. I don't
want to have a list of 10 extras saying:
* Swimming Pool: Yes
* Jacuzzi: No
* Fire place: No
You can have a look here under "Other Features" in the middle
of the
page.
Thanx for your ideas and suggestions.
Regards,
Deon

Radio buttons are to be used for situations where you can
select one and
only one alternative. So if you want to use radio buttons,
you'll want
to use something like:
Fireplace 0 yes 0 no
and set no as the default value. Otherwise, use checkboxes.

<ul>
<?php if ($row_Recordset1['fireplaceValue'] == 'yes') {
echo "<li>Fireplace</li>\n"; } ?>
</ul>
This will need some tweaking for the case where there are no
extras
(although an empty <ul></ul> doesn't display
anything...).
