[RESOLVED] keep a radio button value after paging

[jrough]

How do I get a radio button value to stay selected while a user is performing searches, displays the list and then changes the pages because only 25 are displayed at a time?
There is a search box. I have related drop downs and they stay down using option lists and javascript functions.

This is the input

echo "<th align='right'>Error Flag\n";
echo "<td><input type='radio' name='search_error_flag' class='rad1' value ='1' >Yes\n";
echo "<td><input type='radio' name ='search_error_flag' class='rad1' value='0' CHECKED>No\n";
echo "<tr>\n";

There is either a GET or a POST for the value.

$search_error_flag=$_POST['search_error_flag']!='' ? $_POST['search_error_flag'] : $_GET['error_flag'];

The value is available in the GET string anchor link for the paging but it is not saved in the search box.
thanks,

Rather than hard-coding "CHECKED" (which should actually be more like checked="checked", by the way 😉), do some simple logic to determine which radio button should be checked.

If you wanted to add the logic inline with the string, you could use the ternary operator (as you've done in your second code snippet).

thanks, so
echo "<th align='right'>Error Flag\n";
echo "<td><input type
='radio' name='search_error_flag' class='rad1' value ='1' >Yes\n";
echo "<td><input type='radio' name ='search_error_flag' class='rad1' value='0' CHECKED="checked">"No\n";
echo "<tr>\n";

It actually doesn't even stay selected for the POST when the form button is posted, it doesn't stay selected for the error_flag= 1, since as you say it is hard wired. It stays on the the error_flag=0 selection. So if I change it to checked="checked" then it will work with an if/else inline in the form itself? Thanks,

echo "<th align='right'>Error Flag\n";
if (search_error_flag=0){ 
echo "<td><input type='radio' name='search_error_flag' class='rad1' value ='0' >Yes\n";
}else{
if (search_error_flag=1){
echo "<td><input type='radio' name ='search_error_flag' class='rad1' value='1' CHECKED>No\n";}
 Thanks,
