Form with radio button

I have this:

<td>
    <input id="sex" name="sexFemale" value="female" type="radio">
    <label for="sexFemale">
        Kvinna
    </label>
</td>
<td>
    <input id="sex" name="sexBoth" value="both" checked="checked" type="radio">
    <label for="sexBoth">
        Båda
    </label>
</td>
<td>
    <input id="sex" name="sexMale" value="male" type="radio">
    <label for="sexMale">
        Man
    </label>
</td>

I think I made this wrong, how should I use it?

$_POST["sex"] to get the value "male" or "female" or what they chosed

Just switch your name attributes with your id attributes. So instead of

<input id="sex" name="sexFemale" ...

just use

<input id="sexFemale" name="sex" ...

You need to give them the same name (the name of the radio button group) attribute and different id attributes to work:

<td>
  <label><input id="sexFemale" name="groupSex" value="female" type="radio">
  Kvinna</label>
</td>
<td>
  <label><input id="sexBoth" name="groupSex" value="both" checked="checked" type="radio">
  Båda</label>
</td>  
<td>
  <label><input id="sexMale" name="groupSex" value="male" type="radio">
  Man</label>
</td>

$_POST['sex'] returns are element value with name attribute "sex". For use it - set all radiobutons name to "sex".

i think than all radio button inputs in one group must have the same 'name' attribute:

Kvinna Båda
Man

the name of the radiobuttons has to be the same, not the id (the id must be unique)

You should set their name attribute to "sex" and have them carry diffrerent values:

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