return varchar into radio button

[jarvis]

Hi,

 

Hope you can help & this makes sense. When a user registers on my site, they select a radio button for:

licence

print

 

This stores the selection in the db as text rather than 1 or 0

 

When I edit the user, i'd like to use the radio button again, however, depending what they selected initially, needs to be the default value. i.e. they selected print when they joined, so when I edit that user, the radio button print is checked.

 

My code is below but won't work. Please help

<input name="collection" type="radio" value="<?php if($collection == 'print'){  echo 'checked="checked"'; }else{ echo ''; } ?>">Print				
<input name="collection" type="radio" value="<?php if($collection == 'licence'){  echo 'checked="checked"'; }else{ echo ''; } ?>">Licence

Thanks in advanced

Can you provide a little more code, so that we can see what the variable $collection is doing and what it stores.

The checked="checked" part shouldn't be inside the value attribute, the value attribute should contain the value of it regardless. Also why have the else block at all since it echos nothing.

 

<input name="collection" type="radio" <?php if($collection == 'print'){  echo 'checked="checked"'; } ?> value="print" />Print
<input name="collection" type="radio" <?php if($collection == 'licence'){  echo 'checked="checked"'; } ?> value="licence" />Licence

Thanks Cags!

 

That was exactly what I was after!
