Question

I am trying to retain the radio button that was checked by the user when they return to edit posting. I am having difficulty in the proper syntax to get this to work.

Prior to adding the if statement everything worked fine.

for($index=0; $index < $indexCount; $index++)
{
if (substr("$dirArray[$index]", 0, 1) != ".")
{
echo"<div class=\"imageselect\"><br><div class=\"imageselectholder\"><img src =\"server/php/files/".$me."/medium/" . $dirArray[$index] ." \" /><br></div><div class=\"imageselecttxt\">Check to use this image</div><div class=\"imageselectcheck\"><input type=\"radio\" name=\"fpi\" value=\"" . $dirArray[$index] ."\" .if($_SESSION['fpi'] == $dirArray[$index]) \"checked=\"checked\" \"/></div> </div>";
}}
?>

i would do it like this, also cleaned up your quotes:

for($index = 0 ; $index<$indexCount ; $index++){
    if(substr("$dirArray[$index]",0,1)!="."){
        if($_SESSION['fpi']==$dirArray[$index]){
            $checked = ' checked="checked" ';
        }else{
            $checked = '';
        }

        echo '<div class="imageselect"><br><div class="imageselectholder">
        <img src ="server/php/files/'.$me.'/medium/'.$dirArray[$index].' " />
        <br></div>
        <div class="imageselecttxt">Check to use this image</div><div class="imageselectcheck">
        <input type="radio" name="fpi" value="'.$dirArray[$index].'" '.$checked.' "/></div> </div>';
    }
}
