radio boxes

[ronaldo9]

simple question,

i have two check boxes, YES and NO, they answer the one question, i want to process this form and insert if into a database,
i have everything else working so just wondering how do i handle the two check boxes.

Do i call them the same name when sending them to the php page? or do i handle it in the php page and call them different names and say if YES is empty input NO into database and vica versa?

thanks

I'm a little confused, as your title says radios, but the content deals with checks.

If you're using checks (which I don't think you want in this situation), you'll have to create an array from the checkbox.
If you're using radios, all should be the same name, and it will return only one value, as there can only be one selected at a time.

thanks for replying,sorry about the confusion, the boxes are just for someone to select male or female,,,thanks

Yes, use radios. Male or female, they can only select one or the other. So you'd have two radios with the same name and different values. That way they can only select one.

Male: <input type="radio" name="sex" value="male"><br>
Feale: <input type="radio" name="sex" value="female"><br>
