Radio Button Group value caption

[SirChick]

I have 2 radio buttons in a group named Gender one being male and one being female, now how would i get the value from the user's choice out of the two radio buttons and assign it to an $Gender variable..?

[dbo]

$gender = $_POST['radio_button_group_name_thing'];

 

that is assuming your form uses the post method.

Or hrmm... is it like checkboxes and returns "on"? I forget.

[spode]

the result SHOULD be automaticaly assigned to the variable using

 

$gender = $_POST['gender_thingy'];

 

because i'm pretty sure it doesnt matter on the type of input, the result is just what is assigned to the variable

[SirChick]

whats the 'gender_thingy' is that the group name ?
