The values m or f will be passed back to your script. If the user fails to select one, then the value undefined is sent.

Little tip: don't set a default as it could be seen as sexist. ;)
But if you did want one checked by default just add the checked="checked" attribute to the input tag.

echo("Male: <input type='radio' name='gender' value='m'")
if($gender == m) {
echo(" checked>");
} else {
echo(">");
}
echo("Female: <input type='radio' name='gender' value='f'")
if($gender == f) {
echo(" checked>");
} else {
echo(">");
}
