jimfog Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I have made a form where some radio buttons are contained.The selection made by the user is stored in the db tables as a number, corresponding to the different values of each of the radio buttons. Here are the radio buttons with corresponding values: <td><input type="radio" class="formBuzType" name="buztype" value="1" > <label>test1</label><br></td> <td> <input type="radio" class="formBuzType" name="buztype" value="3"> <label>test3</label> <br></td> <td> <input type="radio" class="formBuzType" name="buztype" value="4"> <label>test4</label> <br></td> <td><input type="radio" class="formBuzType" name="buztype" value="5"> <label>test5</label> <br></td> <td><input type="radio" class="formBuzType" name="buztype" value="2"><label>test2</label> <br></td> If the user has chosen test3 then "3" will be stored in the database. Getting the value 3 from the db is not difficult(a simple SELECT query)...what I cannot do is making the appropriate preselection in the form depending on the fetched from the db value. To say it simpler...since 3 is in the db, I want when the radio buttons appear to the user(HTML) the value 3 option is selected so that the user can know what he has chosen the last time...how I will do that?

justsomeguy Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Have a line of PHP inside the markup for each radio button to check the radio button's value against the value from the database. If it matches then print the attribute to select the button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
