What are the potential pitfalls of using different names for radio buttons in a PHP form?

When using different names for radio buttons in a PHP form, the main pitfall is that only one radio button within a group will be selected at a time. To solve this issue, ensure that all radio buttons that should be part of the same group have the same name attribute. This will allow users to select only one option from the group. 

<form action="submit.php" method="post">
    <input type="radio" name="group1" value="option1"> Option 1
    <input type="radio" name="group1" value="option2"> Option 2

    <input type="radio" name="group2" value="option1"> Option 1
    <input type="radio" name="group2" value="option2"> Option 2
</form>
