justin7410 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Hey guys, As you can see i have a form im trying to use for a user to change or update their profile settings. i know in using php / mysql you can set the default value in the forms for say names and email and what not. is there a way to do that for check boxes and buttons ? if you see my form below, i have added in the php logic for the first code. i just am confused as to a way to set all the fields to having a default. i figure this is the easiest way to not have to write a whole bunch of conditionals to make sure if a person doesnt input a value in the update fields, it will just make the field in the database blank as well. i figure i rather have them just re-input the data back that will just show up as the default anyway. thanks guys <tbody><tr> <td class="register_td_left"><span class="">Email Address:</span></td> <td class="register_td_right" colspan="2"><input type="email" name="update_email" size="35"

justin7410 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Sure, i have a user who is accessing their "profile settings" in this profile settings they can change or update their profile data (the original fields they filed out when registering) now, i have a form that the user can submit , when they submit this form the form will go through some conditionals, then will go to a function , and call for an UPDATE query for sql. i have set the form to bring a "default value" by inserting php code inside the value=" " of an html form. as i show above in the OP , email field. what i want to know is, simply, how can i add the same "default" values to non-text inputs ? such as Select, radio , and button option ?
