It's a good idea to learn HTML before learning PHP. HTML is a
complicated language with one purpose, and PHP is another
complicated language with a slightly different purpose.
Learning both at the same time can be overwhelming.

The "checked" attribute, in HTML, is used to make a checkbox
checked.

thks for your reply,

but as you can see i used the 'checked' attribute, still i cant make it. I knw tht i have done some mistake in the echo statement. as follows,

It's difficult to understand what you write. Please spell words completely if you can.


echo "<tr>
<td Class='navText' align='center' class=$c>$event_id</td>
<td class='navText' class=$c>$event_name</td>
<td class='navText' align='center' class=$c><INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX
NAME='publish' VALUE=1 <?php echo ($event_publish == 1 ? 'CHECKED':
''); ?></td>
<td class='navText' align='center' class=$c><a
href='delete_event.php?event_id=$event_id'>$take_action</a></td></tr>";

kindly correct me...

thks


Within an echo statement, <? php-code ?> does not work. Just output a variable's value:

$event_publish_checked = ($event_publish == 1 ? 'CHECKED' : '');

echo "<tr>
<td Class='navText' align='center' class=$c>$event_id</td>
<td class='navText' class=$c>$event_name</td>
<td class='navText' align='center' class=$c><INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX
NAME='publish' VALUE=1 $event_publish_checked </td>
<td class='navText' align='center' class=$c><a
href='delete_event.php?event_id=$event_id'>$take_action</a></td></tr>";
