what would be the $_POST variable name for a radio button option?

[Rifts]

it would be whatever you set it as...

<form>
<input type="radio" name="sex" value="male" /> Male<br />
<input type="radio" name="sex" value="female" /> Female
</form>

 

$_POST['sex']

if you want to use the $day variable you have to enable register_globals on PHP

but i'd recommend you to use $_GET[''day] or $_POST['day'] in case your server dosnt have that function enabled

[Pikachu2000]

Don't turn on register_globals.
