Get creative. :) Some people do it with Perl regexes via preg_replace on a variable holding all your inputs. Like, the equivalent of what is in Perl: s/value="$example"/value="$example" checked="checked"/; Which in PHP is: preg_replace("/value=\"$example\"/", "/value=\"$example\" checked=\"checked\"/", $inputs); Another thing you can do is for an input like this: <input type="radio" name="example" value="one" /> <input type="radio" name="example" value="two" /> <input type="radio" name="example" value="three" /> You can do something like: <? $checked[$example] = ' checked="checked"'; ?> <input type="radio" name="example" value="one"<? print $checked["one"]; ?> /> <input type="radio" name="example" value="two"<? print $checked["two"]; ?> /> <input type="radio" name="example" value="three"<? print $checked["three"]; ?> /> You can even automate that with a foreach loop on a predefined array of the options available, if it works in your setup.
