[RESOLVED] keeping checkbox values after page is reloaded

[Desbrina]

On one of my pages, the user has to select some check boxes, then enter their username and password

If you username and password are wrong, then the checkboxes need to stay checked, which their not doing

How do i go about making sure they stay checked

This is how their generated

      $result = mysql_num_rows($sql);
      if ($result == 0) {
			die("<br /><strong>Error getting game data</strong>");
      } else {
         while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) { ?>
          <td width="110"><div align="center"><?php echo "<img src=\"{$row[url]}\" alt=\"{$row['alttext']}\"/>" ; ?><br />
                  <input name="normal[]" type="checkbox" id="normal[]" value="checkbox" />
          </div></td>

I don't have time right now to be nice or explain everything, so I'll go straight to the point. To make a checkbox checked you need to use checked="checked". You could do it something like this:

<form type="post">
Ariplane: <input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Airplane" 
  <?php 
    if ($_POST['vehicle'] == "Airplane") {
      echo 'checked="checked"';
    }
  ?>
/>
<input type="submit">
</form>

Of course you have to add a lot more php code since you have the values in the database. But it is basically only to use all the input boxes in a loop with the result, it should be no big problem.
