Need to get rid of this IF

[scottybwoy]

I have this function :
[code]
<?php
if (! empty($pref['autotip']) && $pref['autotip']==1) {
              $template->set_var('TIP_STATUS1', 'checked');
          } else {
            $template->set_var('TIP_STATUS1', '');
          }

          if (! empty($pref['autotip']) && $pref['autotip']==0) {
              $template->set_var('TIP_STATUS2', 'checked');
          } else {
              $template->set_var('TIP_STATUS2', '');
          }

          $template->set_var('PREF_MNGR', $PREF_MNGR);

          if (isset($this->update) && $this->update)
          {
            $template->set_var('UPDATE_MSG',
                                $this->getMessage('PREFERENCES_UPDATED')
                              );
          }
          else $template->set_var('UPDATE_MSG', '');

          $themeTemplate->set_var('CONTENT_BLOCK',
                                  $template->parse('mblock', 'mainBlock'));

          $template->parse('contentBlock', 'fh1');

          $themeTemplate->parse('cnblock', 'contentBlock');
          $themeTemplate->parse('mmblock', 'mmainBlock');
          $themeTemplate->pparse('output', 'fh');

      }
?>
[/code]
And I want 'autotip' to always == 1 for 'TIP_STATUS1' i.e $template->set_var('TIP_STATUS1', 'checked');
So it will not have to get info from the form.

And I always want it to be like that so it never really needs to be updated.  And if it never really needs to be updated it won't need to be stored in the database.

So could someone help me re-write this please.  Many Thanks

I may be a little confused, by if you don't want that status to change, why not just comment out that first if/else block?
