PHP/HTML Radio Button Checked on Default issue

Creating a radio button set based off of PHP/MySQL

Having an issue with a button being checked on default: What it looks like:

The code:

$first = TRUE;
if (mysql_num_rows($result))
{
   for ($j = 0; $j < mysql_num_rows($result); $j++)
   {
     $currentCat = mysql_result($result, $j, 'category');
     if ($first == TRUE)
     {
       $first = FALSE;
       echo "<input type='radio' name='createCat' value='$currentCat' checked='checked' />$currentCat checked";
     }
     else
     {
       echo "<input type='radio' name='createCat' value='$currentCat' />$currentCat ";
       echo "non";
     }
   }
   echo <<<_END
   <br /><input type='submit' value='Create' /> $error
   </form>
_END;
}

Notice how the first box isnt checked The output in HTML:

<input type='radio' name='createCat' value='opt1' checked='checked' />opt1  checked<input type='radio' name='createCat' value='opt2' />opt2 non<input type='radio' name='createCat' value='Accounts' />Accounts non             <br /><input type='submit' value='Create' />

Change your first option to look like this and it should default to checked:

echo "<input type='radio' name='createCat' value='$currentCat' checked/>$currentCat checked";

Notice that you have

checked="checked"

Removing the ="checked" portion will fix the problem.
