Question

I’m trying to have an email send on submit, but I can’t figure out how to echo the value of a radio box, and the text in the value. Can anyone help me?

Here’s my radio box:

 <label>
          <input type="radio" name="question8" value="0;Not at all" id="question8_1" />
          Not at all</label>
        <br />
        <label>
          <input type="radio" name="question8" value="25;Slightly" id="question8_2" />
          Slightly</label>
        <br />
        <label>

Answer 1

Assuming your form was submitted via post,

echo $_POST['question8'];

If for some reason it was submitted via $_GET

echo $_GET['question8'];

To separate the value and text, use explode(";", $value):

$radio = explode(";", $_POST['question8']);
$radioval = $radio[0];
$radiotext = $radio[1];

echo "Total $radioval: Answer: $radiotext";

// Or the same thing tidier, via list() multi-assignment
list($radioval, $radiotext) = explode(";", $_POST['question8']);

And both of these assume your <input> tags actually occur inside a <form> tag as in:

 <form action='somepage.php' method='post'>
    <label>
      <input type="radio" name="question8" value="0;Not at all" id="question8_1" />
      Not at all</label>
    <br />
    <label>
      <input type="radio" name="question8" value="25;Slightly" id="question8_2" />
      Slightly</label>
    <br />
    <label>
 </form>
