[RESOLVED] Value from DB to radio button

fadinha

Good evening 🙂

I'm trying to get values from the DB checked in to radio buttons.
I've already tried several lame options, with bad luck.
Is my code making any sense at all? Guess I'm a bit lost again...
I'll be pleased, if someone can share their ideas.

//the form echoed 
//and the radio buttons
echo " <form>
<input type=\"radio\" name=\"usertype\" value=\"9\""; if ($usertype =='9'){$checked='checked';}else{$checked=null;} echo "\"$checked\"\">Admin 
<input type=\"radio\" name=\"usertype\" value=\"1\""; if ($usertype=='1'){$checked='checked';}else{$checked=null;} echo "\"$checked\"\">User </form>";

Try this

echo "<input type=\"radio\" name=\"usertype\""; if($usertype == "9") { echo "SELECTED"; } echo "\"> Admin<br>";
echo "<input type=\"radio\" name=\"usertype\""; if($usertype == "1") { echo "SELECTED"; } echo "\"> User";

Mmm, nope that didn't work either...

Oops that was my fault this works. (I tested it!)

echo "<form><input type=\"radio\" name=\"usertype\""; if($usertype == "9") { echo " checked"; } echo "> Admin<br>";
echo "<input type=\"radio\" name=\"usertype=\""; if($usertype == "1") { echo " checked"; } echo "> User</form>";

Why are you using the integers as strings?

<input type="radio" name="usertype" <?php if($usertype == 1) echo 'checked="checked" '; ?>/>

edit

Also, just using "checked" is not valid XHTML. You must specify the attribute and a value, hence checked="checked".

uuum, now it's getting the detail from DB right, but doesn't show the other radio button... definitely it isn't my day

Now I got it 🙂

echo "<form>
<input type=\"radio\" name=\"usertype\" "; if($usertype == "9") { echo 'checked="checked"'; } 
echo "\"> Admin<br>
<input type=\"radio\" name=\"usertype\" "; if($usertype == "1") { echo 'checked="checked"'; }
echo "\"> User<br>
</form>";

thnks mates for the help !!!!

Glad you got it, but you are still using integers as strings.

i.e. if($usertype == "1")

should be

if($usertype == 1)

fadinha

Yup, changed it.
thnks 🙂
