Prefilling Checkboxes From Exploded Data

[mrhinman]

I've got a script which explodes comma separated values from a table field, then is supposed to pre-fill checkboxes with the existing data. I can't get them to pre-fill.

SNIPPET:
<?
$aw = explode(' ', $AvailableToWork);
$Weekdays = $aw[0];
$Weekends = $aw[1];
$Shift1 = $aw[2];
$Shift2 = $aw[3];
$Shift3 = $aw[4];
$Days = $aw[5];
$Nights = $aw [6];
$FullTime = $aw[7];
$PartTime = $aw[8];
$Temporary = $aw[9];
$Permanent = $aw[10];
$TempAndPerm = $aw [11];
?>
<input name="Weekdays" type="checkbox" <? if($Weekdays=="Weekdays"){echo("checked=\"checked\"");} ?> value="Weekdays" /> Weekdays

I've tried ISSET as well as other combinations, and cannot get the value to preset if it exists.

Any ideas?

That particular block looks fine...are you absolutely certain you're getting the right values from the array?

I guess the trick would be to try it in another page to see. The imploded values (12 of them) are in that particular order, so I ordered the exploder as $aw[0], $aw[1], etc. Each field's data is actually the same as its name, so if "Weekdays" is checked, the word "Weekdays" appears (except for Shift1, etc, which appears with the value of "1st Shift").

Example:

Field $AvailableToWork may say:
Weekdays, , 1st Shift, , , Days, , Full Time, , , Permanent,

I was using COMMAS in the IMPLODE, whereas no commas in the EXPLODE. Problem fixed!
