Using number in database	Can't Post

Here is my question.

I am building my fields for my database using the CGI.pm method.

@maritalstatus = ("Never Married", "Divorced", "Widowed", "Separated");

$query = new CGI;

print $query->radio_group(-name=>$maritalstatus,

-values=>\@$maritalstatus,
-labels=>\%labels,
-columns=>3);

This gives me radio buttons with all the values and lables using the fields of maritalstatus. I want to have the label as the field name and the value as the field number. E.g.

@maritalstatus = ("Never Married", "Separated");

<input type=radio name=maritalstatus value=1>Never Married
<input type=radio name=maritalstatus value=2>Separated

How can I do this?

Thanks

Looks like your code has %labels in it, but %labels isn't being defined anywhere.

Try this:

Code

my %labels = ( 
    1 =>"Never Married" , 
    2 =>"Divorced" , 
    3 =>"Widowed" , 
    4 =>"Separated" , 
); 
  
my $query = CGI->new(); 
  
print $query->radio_group( 
    -name    => 'maritalstatus', 
    -values  => \%labels, 
    -labels  => \%labels, 
    -columns => 3, 
 
);
