Question

A simple question but I can’t seem to find the answer.

I have a simple form that inserts the value ‘on’ to a database when a checkbox is checked

How do I get the checkbox checked when the data is pulled from the database when the form is revisited and displaying with the database information?

I have tried this but it doesn’t work

<input type="checkbox" name="positioning" class="input_margin" value="<? $row['positioning']; ?>">Positioning<br />

(I only need help with this, I have the sql query etc set up fine)

Thanks

Use a conditional statement to check the database value and echo ‘checked’ if it should be checked

<input type="checkbox" name="positioning" class="input_margin" <? if($row['positioning']=='on'){echo 'checked';} ?>>
