cb154 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I have a group of 4 radio buttons. my mysql database knows which one the user selected previously when they stored some information. I now wish to display the same buttons but have radio button checked that the user chose before. I know this can be done but having one of those mind melt moments where I cannot think of the solution so I have 4 buttons that look like this <input type="radio" name="clarity" id="clarity" value="Opaque"> Opaque<br> <input type="radio" name="clarity" id="clarity" value="Deep"> Deep<br> <input type="radio" name="clarity" id="clarity" value="Mid"> Mid<br> <input type="radio" name="clarity" id="clarity" value="Pale"> Pale<br></td> I just need to attached a checked field to the correct item Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkyIS Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'm usually echoing the form elements, and i prefer single quotes around my element values, so this is what i would do: // Open input tag echo "<input type='radio' name='clarity' id='clarity' value='Opaque'"; // Add checked if selected if ($clarity_opaque == 1) { // or however you tell if opaque was selected echo " checked='checked'"; } // Close input tag echo ">"; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
