One radio button of the same name selected at a time yes. From the OP's
code of two radios, one with value 0 and one with value 1, I assumed
these were to be a pair with the same name with only one able to be
successful. This extends to arrays as well:
<input type="radio" name="radio[1111]" value="0">
<input type="radio" name="radio[1111]" value="1">
<input type="radio" name="radio[555]" value="0">
<input type="radio" name="radio[555]" value="1">
This works as expected, the same as the code I posted.
