Thanks everyone. > If there is no purpose, I would make the values of the inputs the values you > want to store in your database. > Muuch easier.. > So I am trying to keep this simple and just assign the value with the radio button and then insert it into mysql database, but with the following code I am getting the mysql error: Unknown column '250kbps' in 'field list' when I choose the first radio button. I think it has to do with the value being a string, but I haven't been able to figure out the fix. Thanks everyone for your help in accomplishing one thing with many differnt techniques. It is greatly appreciated.
