Get new value of selected Radio Box

[tmv105]

I have checked the appropriate radio box from my database value, but now I need to be able to retrieve the edited choice to update my database. Here is the code:

 

<?php $db_maritalstatus = $row_rsAdvancedPlan['maritalstatus']; ?>

 

<input name="maritalstatus" id="maritalstatus" value="single"<?php if ($db_maritalstatus == "single") {echo 'checked=\"checked\"';} ?> type="radio" /> <label for="single" class="smaller">Single</label>

 

<input name="maritalstatus" id="maritalstatus" value="married"<?php if ($db_maritalstatus == "married") {echo 'checked=\"checked\"';} ?> type="radio" /> <label for="married" class="smaller">Married</label>

 

<input name="maritalstatus" id="maritalstatus" value="widowed"<?php if ($db_maritalstatus == "widowed") {echo 'checked=\"checked\"';} ?> type="radio" /> <label for="widowed" class="smaller">Widowed</label>       

 

<input name="maritalstatus" id="maritalstatus" value="divorced"<?php if ($db_maritalstatus == "divorced") {echo 'checked=\"checked\"';} ?> type="radio" /><label for="divorced" class="smaller">Divorced</label>

When I select a new valuewhile editing form,my retrieval still holds the original value which loaded upon populating.

Please post your all relevant code. The current code tells us nothing

Your escaping double quotes unnecessarily, and have left out the space between the value and checked.

 

<input name="maritalstatus" id="maritalstatus" value="single"<?php if ($db_maritalstatus == "single") {echo ' checked="checked"';} ?> type="radio" /> <label for="single" class="smaller">Single</label>

 

ps; This could also be written as....

 

<input name="maritalstatus" id="maritalstatus" value="single"<?php echo ($db_maritalstatus == "single") ? ' checked="checked"' : '' ?> type="radio" /> <label for="single" class="smaller">Single</label>
