set_radio() is inconvenient. - El Forum - 03-29-2011

if I use 'echo form_radio($s);' in view.
set_radio() is useless.
Code:
<?php foreach($question as $row):?>
<?php $i++;?>
<tr>
<td><?=$row?></td>
<td><? $s = array(
'name' => 'q'.$i,
'value' => set_radio('q'.$i, '1')
);
?>
</td>
<td><? $s = array(
'name' => 'q'.$i,
'value' => set_radio('q'.$i, '2')
);It returns:
<td><input type="radio" name="q1" value="" /> </td>
because set_raidio is text:'checked='checked'.
so to Insert 'checked='checked' into form_radio() is impossible.
How can I insert submitted radio value into form_radio()?
Please, change API.

set_radio is not intended to return the value of the radio button, it is intended to return the radio button's state.
Try it like this instead, using a boolean test as the third parameter:
Code:
$radio_state = set_radio('my_field', 'car', $my_field == 'car');
$data = array(
'name' => 'my_field',
'value' => 'car',
'checked' => $radio_state
);
echo form_radio($data);Without the form_radio function it would look like this:
Code:
<input type="radio" name="my_field" value="house"<?php echo set_radio('my_field', 'house', $my_field == 'house'); ?>>
<input type="radio" name="my_field" value="car"<?php echo set_radio('my_field', 'car', $my_field == 'car'); ?>>set_radio() is inconvenient. - El Forum - 10-26-2012

How does this work? Where do you insert this code in the view?
