good way to retrieve many form radio buttons

[rhaggert]

lets say there are a set of questions that must be answerd with values of 1-5

the number of questions changes so in the processing page how can i obtain data from multple radio selections

<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=? VALUE=1>
<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=? VALUE=2>
<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=? VALUE=3>
<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=? VALUE=4>
<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=? VALUE=5>

if there are N questions then there will be N of the above data. what should i name the varibles so i could just run a for loop through to get the data and then insert into a db

what would be a good way to tackle this

thanks

Replace "?" with a suitable name, then access it, probably by the $_POST array.
Basically a set of radio buttons is just like a textbox, except that the user is expected to select a particular value rather than fill in his/her own value.

the thing is though.
I basically have a loop that prints in sets of five

<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=? VALUE=1>
<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=? VALUE=2>
<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=? VALUE=3>
<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=? VALUE=4>
<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=? VALUE=5>

so there could be thirty of these things.. or myabe 10

the name has to be diffrent for each set of 5. so how can i generate names or use an array. so in the end, on the processing page, you can just loop through the array and grab the data and use it

thanks for any help

<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=ques1 VALUE=1>
<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=ques1 VALUE=2>
<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=ques1 VALUE=3>
<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=ques1 VALUE=4>
<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=ques1 VALUE=5>

<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=ques2 VALUE=1>
<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=ques2 VALUE=2>
<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=ques2 VALUE=3>
<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=ques2 VALUE=4>
<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=ques2 VALUE=5>

<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=ques3 VALUE=1>
<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=ques3 VALUE=2>
<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=ques3 VALUE=3>
<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=ques3 VALUE=4>
<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=ques3 VALUE=5>

on processing page assuming the form has method=POST

foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key=>$value){
  if(substr($key,0,4)=="ques"){
  echo $value;
  }
}
