PHP - Getting Multiple Radio Buttons Values from From Submission

Question

I am a newbie in PHP. I have a form like below:

<div class="col-xs-2 col-xs-offset-1">
    <input id="radio-ge-1" class="radio-custom" name="radio-ge" type="radio" value="1" checked>
    <label for="radio-ge-1" class="radio-custom-label tooltips">1 <span>Impossible to get marks</span></label>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-2">
    <input id="radio-ge-2" class="radio-custom" name="radio-ge" value="2" type="radio">
    <label for="radio-ge-2" class="radio-custom-label tooltips">2 <span>You have to work hard to get marks</span></label>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-2">
    <input id="radio-ge-3" class="radio-custom" name="radio-ge" value="3" type="radio">
    <label for="radio-ge-3" class="radio-custom-label tooltips">3 <span>The usual, just like any other class</span></label>
</div>


<div class="col-xs-2 col-xs-offset-1">
    <input id="radio-sl-1" class="radio-custom" name="radio-sl" value="1" type="radio" checked>
    <label for="radio-sl-1" class="radio-custom-label tooltips">1 <span>Unbearable pressure</span></label>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-2">
    <input id="radio-sl-2" class="radio-custom" name="radio-sl" value="2" type="radio">
    <label for="radio-sl-2" class="radio-custom-label tooltips">2 <span>High pressure, But doable</span></label>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-2">
    <input id="radio-sl-3" class="radio-custom" name="radio-sl" value="3" type="radio">
    <label for="radio-sl-3" class="radio-custom-label tooltips">3 <span>Fair, just like any other class</span></label>
</div>

I'm trying to save both radio buttons value in PHP by using the code:

$g_Easiness = $_POST['radio-ge'];
$s_Load = $_POST['radio-sl'];

But in this case, I'me only getting the first button's value. Second button's value = on.

I have spend more than two hours to figure it out. But cannot resolve it. Can anyone please help me to solve the problem?

@Farkie why exactly? That doesn't solve anything. Usually it sends on when you have input=checkbox. Is there any javascript involved before sending the form? — Daan

It's a huge form and I've some checkboxes after 5 radio buttons. A little script for restricting the maximum # of options also added. — Shahid

Please use below code for radio buttons if input type="radio" then it should give value="" otherwise in value it will show "on" e.g.

<input id="radio-must" class="radio-custom" name="radio-nns" value="absolutely" type="radio" checked>

output = [radio-nns] => on

instead put ( you can see value="1")

<input id="radio-must" class="radio-custom" name="radio-nns" value="absolutely" type="radio" checked value="1">

output =  [radio-nns] =>1

Thank you very much brother. Yes, I will change them to some INT value. It will be very helpful if you tell how did you retrieve this array:

Array ( [instuctor-name] => [designation] => [university] => [description] => [course-id] => [radio-ge] => 1 [radio-sl] => 1 [radio-ea] => 1 [radio-n] => 1 [radio-feel] => happy [radio-nns] => absolutely [radio-at] => on [radio-tb] => on [grade] => )

if you want to print something you can just put code like (e.g. put code in rating.php starting ) print "<pre>"; // for print in proper format print_r($_POST); //for print post array die; // for stop execution of code
