[SOLVED] Need Checkbox to stay checked after submitting

[tyooseph]

Hello,

 

I have a form with several fields that are required if the user checks a checkbox.  I am validating the form and displaying errors on the screen for the user to correct; however, the checkbox does not remain checked if errors are displayed.  I've tried searching the Internet for solutions and found the following, which does not work.  Am I missing something?  Please advise.  Thank you.

 

<input type="checkbox" name="showSummary"<?php

    if($showSummary == 'on'){echo " CHECKED";}?>> Summary

Try this:

<?php
echo "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"showSummary\" ";
echo isset($_POST['showSummary']) ? 'checked="checked" ' : '';
echo "/> Summary\n";
?>

 

Good luck.
