i a little confused as to why you have Radio fields in a combo box.

based on the option selected those form elements appears

<select>
<option selected="selected">textbox</option> //once this option is selected below form elements appears...using js scripts
<input type="radio"><input type="text">
<input type="radio"><input type="text">
<input type="radio"><input type="text">
</select>

I bet you didnt even bother to goto Form Tutorial link I gave you.
Sometimes i wonder why I again and again try to give people advice 😕

HTML Forms and Input at w3schools.com

http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp

They even show 2 online examples of <select>
for you to experiment with.
you can change code, and see result:
1)
http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_select2
2)
http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_select3

Now, if you want to use radio buttons instead, they show you how:
1)
http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_radio
2)
Here is the standard example of radio buttons

<form>
<input type="radio" name="sex" value="male"> Male
<br>
<input type="radio" name="sex" value="female"> Female
</form>

Again, everyone should have this Great HTML Reference website in

Not so much regards .. only little 😉

I did go to the link. But what i am not seeing, is why did he put the radio input INSIDE the dropdown box

nubs

<select>
<option>Select Type</option>
<option selected="selected">textbox</option>
</select>

thats what i meant...sorry for confusion...

What data are you trying to retrieve? If it's what radio button or what checkbox is selected, then you can just see if the relevant "name" is in the $_POST array using [man]isset/man.

Alternatively, you can name the checkboxes "check[]" and then inside the $POST array it's going to be an array of values that are checked. So say you have:

<input type="checkbox" name="check[]" value="1" />
<input type="checkbox" name="check[]" value="2" />
<input type="checkbox" name="check[]" value="3" />

and the user checks the first and last checkbox. Inside the $_POST array the "check" element would be the following:

$_POST => Array(
    ['check'] => Array(
        [0] => '1',
        [1] => '3'
    )
)

For radiobuttons, you'd only have one option selected anyway, so teh value of $_POST['radio'] (or whatever you named your radiobuttons) would be teh value they selected.
