Ok to do this way?

[Reaper0167]

a user can go back and update their profile, to display what they previously selected from the radio buttons, i use the following

<?php if($gender_prof == 'male') { echo '
      <input name="gender" type="radio" id="gender" value="male" checked="checked" /> male  
      <input type="radio" name="gender" id="female" value="female" /> female'; } else { echo ''; } ?> 
      <?php if($gender_prof == 'female') { echo '
            <input name="gender" type="radio" id="gender" value="male" /> male  
      <input type="radio" name="gender" id="female" value="female" checked="checked" /> female'; } else { echo ''; } ?>

Is this an ok way to acomplish this, or is there a better way?

<input name="gender" type="radio" id="gender" value="male" <?php echo ($gender_prof == 'male') ? "CHECKED='CHECKED'" : ""; ?> />
<input name="gender" type="radio" id="gender" value="female" <?php echo ($gender_prof == 'female') ? "CHECKED='CHECKED'" : ""; ?> />
