<p>How would you like to pay for this transaction:</br> 
<input type="radio" name="pt" id="credit" value="credit"><font size="2" color=#ff000>Pay Pal</br> 
<input type="radio" name="pt" id="check" value="check">Check or Money Order</font><p> 

$GET['pt'] will hold either 'credit' or 'check', depending on what was checked:

$choice=$_GET['pt'];

1) Use $POST, not $HTTP_POST_VARS, unless your host is way out of date. If that's the case, get a new host.
2) The field that is being sent is $POST['pt'], and it will have either the value 'credit' or 'check'.

Hope that helps.

[Edit]
Reading Adi's post, I realise that the form was GETed, not POSTed. Instead of $HTTP_POST_VARS, you should have had $HTTP_GET_VARS, which you should change to $_GET, as in his example.

I am out of date I think not the server... haven't coded in two years

This is what it looks like now and I am still getting same thing no matter which i click and submit I still get the credit action

$choice = $GET['pt'];

if(!$choice == 'credit'){
	echo "<form action=\"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr\" method=\"post\">"; 
	echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_xclick\">";
     	echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"amount\" value=\" + moneyFormat((fTotal + fShipping + fTax)) + \">";
     	echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"currency_code\" value=\"USD\">";
     	echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"business\" value=\"[e-mail]\">";
     	echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"item_name\" value=\"WorldWideUndergroundEntertainment\">";
     	echo "<input type=\"image\" src=\"http://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but01.gif\" name=\"submit\" alt=\"Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!\">";
     	echo "</form>";
     	exit();
    } elseif (!$choice == 'check'){

edit: opps error i changed to $_GET from $GET and now it goes all the way down to go back and select payment method

ok got it working now thanks i used this

echo "POST/GET Variables: <br>";
foreach ($_GET as $key => $val)
echo "$key =$val<br>";

and notice that it was sending the right values just I had error in coding I guess I dont know what the ! does but taking that out fixed it, I have been cutting and pasteing from my old scripts. anyways thanks again
