See http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp for information on creating radio buttons.<form><input type="radio" name="xyz" value="mother" /> Mother<br /><input type="radio" name="xyz" value="child" /> Child</form>"xyz" can be changed to whatever you want, but both inputs must have the same name.In your page which handles the form the user's selection will be in $_GET['xyz'] (or if your form is post then $_POST['xyz']).

What should be the field type of xyz in the database?Thank you

use of radio buttons only return one value from a group with same name, so you can just use one field called 'relationship' using type varchar to store both 'mother' or 'child'.using checkboxs with same group name, will store multiple values, but these can also be stored using 1 field of type varchar, but because the values are passed as an array of values, you will have to use php serialize() to pass values to the field, and unserialize() to retrieve the values.serialize()

$relationships=serialize($_POST['relationships']);$query=INSERT INTO relationships VALUES('$relationships');

unserialize()

$query=SELECT * FROM mytable;$doQuery=mysql_query($query);$numrows=mysql_num_rows($doQuery);if($numrows>0){ while($relationships=mysql_fetch_array($doQuery))  {  $relationships=unserialize($relationships['relationships']);	  foreach($relationships as $relation)   {	  print $relation.', ';   }  }}else{ print 'No relationships found.';}
