Radio Button - Reading Pre Selected Values from db

I am able to make a selection of information when entering a record, with
radio buttons giving the option of yes, or no.

Which stores their answer as yes, or no in the database. I then have an
update record page that reads information in the database, and presently it
will not retrieve the previously selected option from the database. I have
tried all sorts of if else statements, and can't get anything to work. I
want the previously selected option to be selected when they are entering
the update page. Thus, they have the option to change it, but want their
previous setting selected so they are aware of their currently selected
option is.

<td width="50%"> <input type="radio" name="ud_digdocs" value="Yes">Yes
<input type="radio" name="ud_digdocs" value="No" checked>No

Thanks for the reply...

I found another example on the web while trying to still working on solving
this and Mark Baker had a post on another site that had a great example. So
the fix for me was.


<? $check0 = $check1 = "";
if ($digdocs == "Yes") { $check0 = " CHECKED"; } else { $check1 = "
CHECKED"; }
echo '<INPUT TYPE="RADIO" NAME="ud_digdocs" VALUE="Yes"'.$check0.'>Yes<BR>';
echo '<INPUT TYPE="RADIO" NAME="ud_digdocs" VALUE="No"'.$check1.'>No'; ?>

This allows the update page to read the values of the radio button, that is
presnetly stored in the database.

Thanks again!
