I redisplay the contents of fields in a FORM where input type ="text", by using "value" in the HTML ...like this .. value="<?php print $field_value ?>"
However "value" is different for input type="radio", where multiple "value" entries spell out each of the several selections.
So, if a radio button can be an A, B or C and I want to set the radio button to whichever value I have for the user in my database, how do I set it and still let him change it on the FORM?

I've got an answer but I don't like it.
It shouldn't take 20 lines of code to do this.
My solution is that at the point where I describe the radio button in HTML,
I drop into PHP and do IF/ELSE combinations for each value of the button. For each button value I issue the HTML with the "checked" specification in the proper place. It looks like this ....
<?php
if ($frm_status == "New") {
$mainhtml='
<td><input type="radio" name="rank" value="New" checked maxlength="8" size="8">New <input type="radio" name="rank" value="MIQ" maxlength="8" size="8">MIQ <input type="radio" name="rank" value="PTL" maxlength="8" size="8">PTL <input type="radio" name="rank" value="GL" maxlength="8" size="8">GL</td>
';
echo($mainhtml);
}
else if ($frm_status == "MIQ") {
$mainhtml='
<td><input type="radio" name="rank" value="New" maxlength="8" size="8">New <input type="radio" name="rank" value="MIQ" checked maxlength="8" size="8">MIQ <input type="radio" name="rank" value="PTL" maxlength="8" size="8">PTL <input type="radio" name="rank" value="GL" maxlength="8" size="8">GL</td>
';
echo($mainhtml);
}
else if .... AND SO ON.
