Note Submitter: Anonymous ---- Here is some ternary trick I like to use for selecting a default value in a set of radio buttons. This example assumes that a prior value was known and that we are offering a user the chance to edit that prior value. If no prior value was actually known, no default value will be set. <form> <input type='radio' name='gender' value='m' <?=($gender=='m')?"checked":""?>>Male <input type='radio' name='gender' value='f' <?=($gender=='f')?"checked":""?>>Female </form> When a "=" directly follows a "<?" (no space allowed in between -- the trick does not work with "<?php"), the right side of the operand (here, the result of the ternary operation) is printed out as text into the surrounding HTML code. If using "<?php" form, you will need to do "<?php echo exp1?exp2:exp3 ?>" instead.
