Independent radiobuttons for each row read from server - php

Question

I'm currently trying to generate independent radio buttons for each row read from my server. They are supposed to symbolize ON and OFF Switches. My current issue is that I manage to generate buttons for each row but these are not independent. I can only turn one off or on at a time.
I know that radio buttons become truly "independent" when the name of each is different. But I can't seem to figure out a way to create a new name for each row generated.
Currently my code looks like this
res = $db->query($query);
if ($res->num_rows > 0) {
while ($row = $res->fetch_object()) {
$query = "SELECT * FROM device_status
WHERE device = ($row->id)";
$status = $db->query($query);
$device_status = $status->fetch_object();
$content .= <<<END
<tr>
<td>{$row->devices}</td>
<td>{$row->description}</td>
<td>{$row->room}</td>
<td><input type='radio' name='radiobutton' id='myCheck'></td>
<td><input type='radio' name='radiobutton' id='myCheck' checked='checked'></td>
<!-- <td>{$device_status->status}</td> -->
<td>Delete
Edit</td>
</tr>
END;
}
}
echo $content;
I've been trying different methods such as using <td><input type='radio' name='$row->id' id='myCheck'></td>
But have not gotten it to work. Any help on how to solve this issue is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

If you want the unique names for all the checkboxes generated you can have them by just incrementing $i for each row.
res = $db->query($query);
if ($res->num_rows > 0) {
$i = 0;
while ($row = $res->fetch_object()) {
$query = "SELECT * FROM device_status
WHERE device = ($row->id)";
$status = $db->query($query);
$device_status = $status->fetch_object();
$content .= <<<END
<tr>
<td>{$row->devices}</td>
<td>{$row->description}</td>
<td>{$row->room}</td>
<td><input type='radio' name='radiobutton<?php echo $i?>' id='myCheck'></td>
<td><input type='radio' name='radiobutton<?php echo $i?>' id='myCheck' checked='checked'></td>
<!-- <td>{$device_status->status}</td> -->
<td>Delete
Edit</td>
</tr>
END;
$i++;
}
}
echo $content;

If you do not care about the name of the radio button, you could use a "php random number generator", each row you asign a new random number to your radio button name:
<?php $x = rand(5, 100000); ?> <input type='radio' name='<?php echo $x; ?>' id='myCheck'>
