How to set the value for Radio Buttons When edit?

Question

I have a Gender Row with radio buttons male & female. when i register as first time the values of radio button will store in database. Now my question is if i edit that row again it want to come(that means checked) with that value as male/female. how to make it?

Note : Doing with php.

HTML Script :

<tr id="inside">
<td align="right" width="40%" id="side" >Gender</td>
<td width="3%"> </td>
<td align="left" width="50%">
<input type="radio" name="sex" value="Male" size="17">Male
<input type="radio" name="sex" value="Female" size="17">Female
</td>
</tr>

Answer 1

When you populate your fields, you can check for the value:

<input type="radio" name="sex" value="Male" <?php echo ($sex=='Male')?'checked':'' ?>size="17">Male
<input type="radio" name="sex" value="Female" <?php echo ($sex=='Female')?'checked':'' ?> size="17">Female

Assuming that the value you return from your database is in the variable $sex

The checked property will preselect the value that match

Answer 2

just add 'checked="checked"' in the correct radio button that you would like it to be default on. As example you could use php quick if notation to add that in:

<input type="radio" name="sex" value="Male" size="17" <?php echo($isMale?'checked="checked"':''); ?>>Male
<input type="radio" name="sex" value="Female" size="17" <?php echo($isFemale?'checked="checked"':''); ?>>Female

in this example $isMale & $isFemale is boolean values that you assign based on the value from your database.
