Storing Radio Button values from php to mysql

[thegreatpatriot]

Hello!

 

I am designing a user registration form which has some radio buttons for people to select. I am confused as to how I should store the value selected by the user into the database.

 

Here is my code, just in case.

<li id="li_2" >

<label class="description" for="element_2">I am a  </label>

<span>

<input id="element_2_1" name="element_2" class="element radio" type="radio" value="1" />

<label class="choice" for="element_2_1">Student</label>

<input id="element_2_2" name="element_2" class="element radio" type="radio" value="2" />

<label class="choice" for="element_2_2">Staff</label>

<input id="element_2_3" name="element_2" class="element radio" type="radio" value="3" />

<label class="choice" for="element_2_3">Member</label>

<input id="element_2_4" name="element_2" class="element radio" type="radio" value="4" />

<label class="choice" for="element_2_4">Other</label>

</span>

</li>
