I'm lost tooo (set radio buttons)

[Grant_Cooper]

I can't find any info, but I am trying to update mysql from using forms. But I can't set any of the radio or check box's.

<input type=checkbox value='21-25' name=des_21_25>
21-25
<input type=checkbox value='25-30' name=des_25_30>
25-30;

What's the syntax, havn't been able to find any examples.

Checkboxes are either checked or not - ie true or false... and you can't really set a value to it. If you wanted to set a value - use

<input type=hidden name=des_21_25 value=\"21-25\">

Failing that use

<input type=hidden name=des-21-25 value=\"\">
<input type=checkbox name=des_21_25 onchange=document.formname.des-21-25.value=\"21-25\">

which could also possibly work

But bear in mind that you can have both checkboxes selected, if you want only one to be available you need to use radio buttons instead.

How do you set a check box to true. I want a check mark to be set. Same with a radio button.

<input type="checkbox" name="IsHtml" value="Yes" CHECKED>

<input type="checkbox" name="IsHtml" value="No">

same for radio buttons

Great thanks, I am also using php, mysql and trying to set a form for an update. I have some code that works, messy. Can someone point me to an example of setting radio buttons and checkbox buttons based on information from a database.

im not sure if youre talking about something like this..

this wil just echo whatever radio value was posted, and when it reprints the form, whatever one was chosen will be checked off

<? 
if($_POST)
{
	switch($_POST['r1'])
	{
		case "value1":echo "val1";break;
		case "value2":echo "val2";break;
		case "value3":echo "val3";break;
		default:"some error";
	}

}
?>
<br>
<form method="post" action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>">
<input type="radio" name="r1" value="value1" <?echo (($_POST['r1']=="value1")?"checked":"")?>>val1<br>
<input type="radio" name="r1" value="value2" <?echo (($_POST['r1']=="value2")?"checked":"")?>>val2<br>
<input type="submit">

theres a ton of easier ways to do it, but this is kind of basic -> if you still need help, post your code and tell me what you need it to do.. i can try to help

oh, you picked php over a naked gf? hahaha 😃
