A few notes that may help you.....
first.....on strstr....i would use strpos instead for a simple check....so....
> if(strstr($default, $values[$i]['id'])) {
> $field .= ' CHECKED';
> }
would become....
> if(strpos($default, $values[$i]['id']) !== false) {
> $field .= ' CHECKED';
> }
note the double equals...not a mistake....see note in php docs about
that...the reason for using strpos is that strstr is a much longer
check than needed.....anyways...on to your problem.....
there is a slight logic issue (i think....)
lets say your values are....
$values = "foo bar|foo";
this test (i think) should return true....
if(strstr("foo", $values)) because it just looks for the first
occurence of the string....
to fix this.....
I would change it to this.....
$checkValues = array()
$checkValues = explode("|", $values[$i]['id']);
if(in_array($default, $checkValues)) {
$field .= ' CHECKED';
}
there may be a better/faster way to do this, but this should work
hope this helps,
chris
