Question

I currently have a form and below the form, I have a checkbox and some radio buttons. Here is the code for the checkbox and radio buttons:

<li id="discountCheckbox"       class="     ">
    <label class="desc" id="title416" for="Field416">
        Discounts Available:
            </label>
    <div>
        <span>
    <input id="discountCheckbox"        name="discountCheckbox"         type="checkbox"         class="field checkbox"      value="Past Host Discount - 10%"        tabindex="12"                       />
    <label class="choice" for="Field416">Past Host Discount - 10%</label>
    </span>
        </div>
    </li>


<li id="shipping1"      class="     ">
<label class="desc" id="shippingChoice" name="shippingLabel" value="yahha" for="Field517_0">
    Shipping Options
        </label>
<div>
<input id="9281" name="9821" type="hidden" value="" />
    <span>
<input id="shipping1"       name="shipping1"        type="radio"        class="field radio"         value="cost"        tabindex="13"                        checked="checked"      onclick="setShippingSpan('$2.00');"             />
<label class="choice" for="Field517_0"      >
    $2.00 Shipping Fee</label>
    </span>
    <span>
<input id="shipping2"       name="shipping1"        type="radio"        class="field radio"         value="free"        tabindex="14"           onclick="setShippingSpan('$0.00');"                 />
<label class="choice" for="Field517_1"      >
    I will pick up the items (free shipping)</label>
    </span>
    </div>
</li>

On submission of my form, I have a file process.php that is run. In that file, I grab the value of the checkbox using $_POST["discountCheckbox"]. But, I can’t figure out how to grab the value of the radio buttons (determining which one is selected). How do I do this?

Answer 1

Give the radio buttons all the same name and then that name in your $_POST will have the value of the selected radio button.
