[PHP] radio buttons checked or not

[Andy B]

hi...

i have this code:
?if($old['Type']==Annual){?
input type=radio name=eventtype value=Annualchecked accesskey=yYes
?}else {?
input type=radio name=eventtype value=OneTime checked
accesskey=nNo?}?
was just wondering if that was the right way to determine the state of a
radio button...?
if the value of $old['Type']=Annual then the yes button is checked...if
not then the no button is checked instead...

Check for the value assigned to each

if(Annual == $_POST['eventtype']){
   ... do stuff ...
} elseif(OneTime == $_POST['eventtype']){
   ... do other stuff ...
}

Assuming $old['Type'] somehow comes from $_REQUEST['eventtype'] (or is
related to it), then yeah, that'll work.

Another way:

$checked[$old['Type']] = ' checked';

echo input type=\radio\ name=\eventtype\ value=\Annual\
{$checked['Annual']}Yes;
echo input type=\radio\ name=\eventtype\ value=\OneTime\
{$checked['OneTime']}No;

This method works even better when you have an array('Annual' = 'Yes',
'OneTime' = 'No') that you use to build the checkboxes.

My understanding is if the variable exists then the radio button was
checked.


 i have this code:
 ?if($old['Type']==Annual){?
 input type=radio name=eventtype value=Annualchecked
 accesskey=yYes
 ?}else {?
 input type=radio name=eventtype value=OneTime checked
 accesskey=nNo?}?

 not then the no button is checked instead...

nope..its pulled out of a db... its a field name called Type and its ENUM
('Annual', 'OneTime') and i have to load all of the record back into the
form so it can be changed and put back into the table
