Im A newb aswell but it looks like you aint set your variables up right

and the form is going to a page that dosnt exist because you havnt set $choise to anything, also your coding html in php wrong

for a line of html like wat you have there you need

echo"<td><input type=\'radio\' name=\'select\' value=\'b\'></td>";

think its best if you start again and look for examples on the net

Nothing substantive. You can read all about both in the online manual if you're interested.

if you want the user to click on a radio button, hit submit, and it goes to the same page regardless, but does something based on which radio button was selected, then you would use php. if you want to select 'a' or 'b' radio button, and it takes you to a.php or b.php, you are going to have to do that with javascript.

php is a server side language. all php code is parsed on the server, before anything is sent to your computer.  so you cannot make 'on-the-fly' decisions like that with php.  javascript is a client side language.  you can make 'on-the-fly' decisions using their onfocus, onclick, onblah event handlers to change the action = 'blah.php' in your form. 

since your question looks like the 2nd of the 2, i'm moving this to javascript help.

<form>
<input type="radio" onclick="javascript: window.location('a.php');">
</form>

Should work... I tend to avoid radio boxes and JS though so Im not sure...
