Can you explain a little better... when you say "the user goes back to the page"... using the back button or your navigation?

[redarrow]

I am trying to get the radio box to keep its vaule with a session.

so if the user goes to another page the radio box keeps it value of yes or no

there will be a link for the user to go back to the page they came from

cheers

the whole idear is when a user uses the radio box to ansaw a quistion the radio box keeps it's value incase the user has an error as the code i am programming is a registartion and quistions.

if the user gets the ansaw wrong then i need the current radio box with the users information

[Jenk]

[code]<?php

echo '<input type="radio" name="radio1" value="radio1_value" '

if (!empty($_SESSION['radio1'])) echo 'checked="checked" ';

echo '/>';

?>[/code]

[redarrow]

jenk are you drunk becouse how will that code you provided me help cheers.

[obsidian]

what jenk is trying to get at, i think, is the basic premise behind radio buttons. i would modify his code slightly, though, because we're dealing with radio buttons and not checkboxes. you've got to see if the $_POST variable holds the current radio button's value and then "check" the one that is corresponding. so, take this basic example and see if it gives you some understanding:
[code]
<form name="test" action="" method="post">
<?php
$options = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10);
foreach ($options as $option) {
  echo "<input type=\"radio\" name=\"myTest\" value=\"$option\"";
  if (isset($_POST['myTest']) && $_POST['myTest'] == $option) echo ' checked="checked"';
  echo " /> $option<br />\n";
}
?>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Remember!" />
</form>
[/code]

hope this helps

obsidian thank you for the code m8 but i need a slitly more advance way.


obsidian can you see my problam i got the first post shows the form i am working with i need to get some how the value of yes or no echoed within a page but with sessions becouse if there an error then the user does not have to do the radio agin as the session will keep the value.

i can keep the value but i need to keep the value within a session.

[Jenk]

for christ sake man! Assign the variable to the session array, then use isset() or empty() to verify if there is a value, if there is echo checked="checked" to pre-select the radio button.

Really, we are prepared to provide you with food, put it on your plate, hell even feed it to you, but YOU must be the one to chew!

[redarrow]

well i can not get it going so can you do the above form so i can learn from it sorry for the not no cheers.



[b]give me a proper example as the one above does not work for me ok.

try to give an example from my code as posted from first post thank you.[/b]
