Echo data in Checkboxes

[bullbreed]

Hello

 

When I am editing a product I have some of the data stored as an serialized array in the database.

 

Can I use an echo statement like this

 

value="<?php echo $row["rowname"]; ?>"

 

to make sure checkboxes are already checked relating to the data in the database?

 

If not, how do I do this?

To make a checkbox checked, you need to set the attribute checked to "checked":

 

<input type="checkbox" checked="checked" />

 

I wrote a tutorial on working with checkboxes which can be found here: http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorial/working-with-checkboxes-and-a-database
