Hey!

I want to use a Checkbnox where a user can select something

But I want the checkbox to stay checked if the user reloads the page.

It would check wether to check it from a mysql dat

How would I do this?

Like:

<input type='checkbox' name='myCheckbox' value='myValue' <?php if($_POST['myCheckbox'] == 'myValue') { echo "checked"; } ?>>

This will make it checked when page is reloaded for form submission. Though if you want it to still be checked if page is just reloaded without any form submission, then it'll require AJAX or might be able to be done with normal javascript as well. Let me know if you need that done =].

by definition, the attribute checked shall have value checked, so it becomes

<input type='checkbox' name='myCheckbox' value='myValue' <?php if($_POST['myCheckbox'] == 'myValue') { echo 'checked="checked"'; } ?>>

Hmm I see, for me just adding 'checked' to the tag worked fine, but what you say might be more correct.
