I need help on how to retrieve the value from HTML Radio button, and then to store it in the Sesion.

my code looks like :

<?php
session_start();
$message = "";
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$_SESSION['cgender'] = $_POST['cgender'];
header("location:education_1.php");

}
?>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>">
Male<input type="radio" name="cgender" value="Male">
Females <input type="radio" name="cgender" value="Female"></td>
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value=">> CONTINUE >>">

This one works!

code:

<?php 

session_start();

if (isset($_POST['submit']) && isset($_POST['cgender'])) {

	

	$_SESSION['cgender'] = $_POST['cgender'];

var_dump($_POST);

//header("location:education_1.php");



}

?>

its a good idea to get into the habit of using correct syntax.

any self contained tag should be closed in itself, by that i mean

code:

<input typ="radio" name="whatever" value="whatever" />



<br />



<hr />



<img src="some_link" alt="some text" />

this will make your pages valid XHTML 1.1
