2 info from same radio botton

How do I send 2 different info with the same radio botton.

I have a simple form with radio buttons, and I need it to send more than one info when it it choosen.
It looked like this.

<td>input type="radio" value="<?echo $id;?>" name="choose_id">and some tekst</td>

The $id is from a database and this line is running in a WHILE loop, so I get ex. 4 radio bottons with 4 different numbers as the value.
But I need it to send one more info from the database as well, but is it possible to have 2 values send with one radio botton. ?

Since a radio button is designed so that the user selects (and thus sends) only one value for a given group of buttons, perhaps you should consider using a checkbox.

OK.. thanks.

Then I just have to get the other value later, in a MySQL_Query line, WHERE $id and so on.

Oh, I think I understand your question a little bit better this time. Just use some kind of delimiter and insert two values into your radio button value:

<td><input type="radio" value="<?echo "$id|$other_value";?>" name="choose_id">and some tekst</td>

I used a pipe (|) delimiter.

Now, in your form handler, just spilt the result into two variables:

list($id,$other_value) = split("|", $_POST['choose_id']);
