how to catch a value from radio buttom getting its value from mysql?

Hi, this is a newbie question.

How can I catch the selected radio value from a form that is feed by the
mysql database?

EX.:
<input type="radio" name="myname" value="<?php $myvalue[3] ?>">

Value returns the last element of the array $myvalue[3]
instead of the selected value.

How can I change this?

Thanks in advance for any help,

echo?

<input type="radio" name="myname" value="<?php echo $myvalue[3] ?>">

Yes, I'm using echo. May that be the problem? Should I use print or
printf instead?

With total disregard for any kind of safety measures gmanon

He was pointing out that your first example doesn't output the
variable at all as you don't use echo or anything else.

Hi, Here a more detail script.

//VARIABLES FROM DATABASE RESULT
$row_array['city'] = $row_items[1];
$row_array['price'] = $row_items[3];
$row_array['description'] = $row_items[4];
$row_array['id'] = $row_items[5];

$id = $row_array[5];
$description = $row_array[4];
$price = $row_array[3];

//HTML CODE FOR RADIO BUTTON
if ($j == 1) { $radio = "<input type='radio' name='city' value='" .
$row_array[2] . "'>";}
else { $radio = "";}

//HIDDEN VALUES

<input type="hidden" name="tripNumber" value="<?php echo $id; ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="tripDescription" value="<?php echo
$description; ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="tripPrice" value="<?php echo $price; ?>">

//VARIABLES FOR OUTPUT

<td align="center" class="tableInside"><?php echo $tripNumber; ?></td>
<td align="center" class="tableInside"><?php echo $tripDescription; ?></td>
<td align="center" class="tableInside"><?php echo $noPassangers; </td>
<td align="center" class="tableInside"><?php printf("$%.2f",
$tripPrice); ?></td>
<td class="tableInside" align="right"><?php $subtotal = $tripPrice *
$noPassangers; printf("$%.2f", $subtotal); ?>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
