prefill form data from database – radio and checkboxes

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 27.2004

I am trying to prefill a form with data from a database, this form has previously been saved by the user. I have been able to prefill the text fields using <?php echo $Q12: ?>, but when it comes to the radio buttons or checkboxes this doesn’t work. Also, in regards to a group of radio buttons all named Q5 for example, how do I preselect the correct choice of the group. Any information related to prefilling radio and chackboxes would be appreciated.

Thanks
Mike

@MstrBobJul 27.2004 — Something like :
[code=php]
<form action="form.php" action="post">
<fieldset>
<legend>Question #5</legend>
<input type="radio" value="1" name="Q5" <?php if($q5==1){echo("checked="checked"");}?> />Yes<br />
<input type="radio" value="2" name="Q5" <?php if($q5==2){echo("checked="checked"");}?> />No<br />
<input type="radio" value="3" name="Q5" <?php if($q5==3){echo("checked="checked"");}?> />Maybe So<br />
</fieldset>
</form>
[/code]
