radio buttons

[Bob42]

I am coding a script that takes info from a database and displays it on a page. Right now there is a field in my database called "status" and I want the value in that field to be displayed in the form of radio buttons.

<input type=\"radio\" name=\"status\" value=\"{$row['status']}\" checked=\"checked\" /> Administrator
&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type=\"radio\" name=\"status\" value=\"{$row['status']}\" checked=\"checked\" /> Manager
&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type=\"radio\" name=\"status\" value=\"{$row['status']}\" checked=\"checked\" /> Moderator

So if "Administrator" is placed in the "status" field, then the Administrator button would be selected.

The value for radio buttons should be static, and you set the correct one to checked based on the current value in $row:

PHP Code:

echo "<input type=\"radio\" name=\"status\" value=\"Administrator\" " . ($row['status'] == 'Administrator' ? ' checked="checked"' : '') . "/> Administrator&nbsp;&nbsp;
<input type=\"radio\" name=\"status\" value=\"Manager\" " . ($row['status'] == 'Manager' ? ' checked="checked"' : '') . "/> Manager&nbsp;&nbsp;
<input type=\"radio\" name=\"status\" value=\"Moderator\" " . ($row['status'] == 'Moderator' ? ' checked="checked"' : '') . "/> Moderator";
