how to retain checkbox values

[verdure]

Hi

 

I have a registration form with form validations for some text fields.

 

the form also have some check boxes and radio buttons.

 

On submission of the form the validations are checked in formvalidation.php file.

and error messages are sent back to the registration page.

 

 

In this process i am unable to retain the values of checkbox or radio button submitted first.

 

Could somebody please direct as to how to retain values of checkbox/ radio buttons.

 

Thank you

Try to google for "sticky forms", that will help you!

one way that i sometimes do this is

 

<form action="#" method="POST">
<input <?php if ($_POST['dog'] == 'checked') { echo 'checked ';} ?> type="checkbox" name="dog" value="checked" />
<input <?php if ($_POST['cat'] == 'checked') { echo 'checked ';} ?> type="checkbox" name="cat" value="checked" />
<input <?php if ($_POST['frog'] == 'checked') { echo 'checked ';} ?> type="checkbox" name="frog" value="checked" />
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>

 

this form just links to the same page, but basically if one of the inputs is checked the value of $_POST['dog'] will be whatever is in the value ("checked in that case) in the html tag (with the name "dog"). So i just check for that and if its true, echo checked into the form.

you can also use Session variables to retain the values.
