What's your HTML like and how are you dealing with it in PHP?

This (with possible unintended errors corrected) works:

<!-- HTML, assume correct DOCTYPE, ... -->
<form ...>
<div class="group1">
<label><input type="radio" name="r[0]" value="0" checked>none</label>
<label><input type="radio" name="r[0]" value="1">one</label>
<label><input type="radio" name="r[0]" value="1">two</label>
</div>
<div class="group2">
<label><input type="radio" name="r[1]" value="0" checked>none</label>
<label><input type="radio" name="r[1]" value="1">one</label>
<label><input type="radio" name="r[1]" value="1">two</label>
</div>
<!-- some submit button -->
</form>

And the PHP that deals with it could be

<?php
foreach ($_POST['r'] as $k=>$radio) {
echo 'For group ', $k, ', you selected the option with ',
$radio, " for its value.<br>\n";
}
?>
