How to print data from db to radio button?

seaminem

I have data in database :

gender char(1) not null, (value stored is "M" or "F")

I've already connect sql to php and all the fields like username, password, so on... work (textbox). Here is the problem I want to check the radio button by using what i have in the database to the radio button form. How to check the radio button?

Right now the value from database stores in $Cgender and the value inside can be either "M" or "F". Please show me the code.

You could use something like:


<input type="radio" name="Cgender" value="M" <?php if($cGender == "M") echo 'checked="checked"';?>>
<input type="radio" name="Cgender" value="F" <?php if($cGender == "F") echo 'checked="checked"';?>>

thank you

<input type='radio' name='Cgender' value='Male'
<?php if($Cgender == "M")
print "checked='checked'";
?> >
<input type='radio' name='Cgender' value='Female'
<?php if($Cgender == "F") print "checked='checked'"; ?> >

Why the value male and female does not appear on the radion buttons?

Because radio buttons dont actually have a label as part of their attributes - you will need to add that yourself ie:

 <input type='radio' name='Cgender' value='Male'
<?php if($Cgender == "M")
print "checked='checked'";
?> > Male<br>
<input type='radio' name='Cgender' value='Female'
<?php if($Cgender == "F") print "checked='checked'"; ?> >Female<br>
