Issue with Radio Button in PHP

I am trying to pass a value from one page to another using a radio button in PHP. I am using a database to query the info as well. Here is a section of the code:

<td align = "center"><font face = "Ariel, Helvetica, sans-serif"><input type = "radio" name = "id" ><?=$id;?></font></td>

On the next page I am posting the value as $select = $_POST['id'];
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thx. AM

This:
<td align = "center"><font face = "Ariel, Helvetica, sans-serif"><input type = "radio" name = "id" ><?=$id;?></font></td>

Should be:
<td align = "center"><font face = "Ariel, Helvetica, sans-serif"><input type = "radio" name = "id" value="<?=$id;?>"></font></td>

where the $id is in the value attribute in the radio element. Also, although the short tags will work, the preferred method is...

<?php echo($id); ?>
