Problem with radio buttons and php 1

[natefanaro]

I am creating a site for online quizes and having a problem with creating a quiz out of php. When you usually deal with radio buttons, when you change your mind on a choice it will remove the previous selection. when you use the html below, it will allow you to select every darn radio button there. I figured out that it has something to do with the fact that I have a variable after each radio button. when I remove the variable, it works! here's the code that I am using.

<INPUT type=radio name=&quot;result1&quot; value=&quot;1&quot;><? echo $ans1 ?>
<INPUT type=radio name=&quot;result2&quot; value=&quot;1&quot;><? echo $ans2 ?>
<INPUT type=radio name=&quot;result3&quot; value=&quot;1&quot;><? echo $ans3 ?>

any ideas

For a set of radio buttons to &quot;group&quot; into a unit which will clear all other choices then one choice is selected, all the radio buttons in that group must have exactly the same name.

Try

<INPUT type=radio name=&quot;question1&quot; value=&quot;1&quot;><? echo $ans1 ?>
<INPUT type=radio name=&quot;question1&quot; value=&quot;1&quot;><? echo $ans2 ?>
<INPUT type=radio name=&quot;question1&quot; value=&quot;1&quot;><? echo $ans3 ?> ______________________________________________________________________
TANSTAAFL!

darn, that worked but that screws up what I was doing kind of. I used result1=1 in the next page where it took that number and added it to another variable. eh, I'll think of something. thanks though!
