post values from html form radio buttons

[tolkienarda]

hi all

i am reciving several $_POST variables from a form on an html page and i was curious if in my
if (isset($_POST['variablefromhtml']))
statement is using the id or the name of the radio button.
if the name value is used and i have 9 radio buttons int the same form how do i go about determining which value i am getting. cause the php script will redirect either delete entries from a mysql table or redirect me to a page.

In the $_POST array you find the name of the HTML <input> statement as the entry's key and the value of that statement as the entry's value. So for buttons you'll get (of course) 1 name and the value of the particular button clicked.
