If you want values to remain, consider using PHP sessions.

HTH,

echo the posted value back into the same checkbox (assuming all script is on one page)

echo "<input type='checkbox' name='foo' value='1'";
if ($_POST['foo']==1) echo "checked='checked'"; 
echo ">";

echo "<input type='checkbox' name='foo' value='1'";
if ($_POST['foo']==1) echo "checked='checked'";
echo ">";

Dear, u mean,

<input type='radio' name='foo' value='1'";
<input type='radio' name='foo' value='2'";
<input type='radio' name='foo' value='3'";
if ($POST['foo']==1)
$vone=1 ;
esle if ($POST['foo']==2)
$vtwo=2;
else($_POST['foo']==3)
$vthree=3;

no - not like that - you are mixing the input elements with php code
(sorry - I misread it as checkboxes, you asked for radio buttons)

the radio buttons must each be closed with '>'

just do this at start of your script:
if ($POST['foo']==1)
$vone=1 ;
else if ($POST['foo']==2)
$vtwo=2;
else($_POST['foo']==3)
$vthree=3;

and when a value matches in the three radio button inputs echo "checked='checked'";

(but you should be able to do it without the additional variables)
