Setting value of radio button in Codeigniter

In my form for editing details, I have a radio button with values 0 and 1. What I want is, while the form is loaded ie, when user clicks on edit link, the radio button should be set to the value in the database. Once the user have changed it and submit the form, it should retain the submitted value. How this is possible ?

I tried with the below code and it doesn't worked. I know that it can't be done this way. $row->videotype have the value from database.

<input type="radio" name="trailer" value="1" <?php 
    if(set_radio('trailer', '1', TRUE)) {
        echo set_radio('trailer', '1', TRUE); 
    } else { 
        if($row->videotype==1) ?> checked=checked <?php 
    } ?> />Yes
<input type="radio" name="trailer" value="0" <?php 
    if(set_radio('trailer', '0')) {
        echo set_radio('trailer', '0');  
    } else {
        if($row->videotype==0) ?> checked=checked <?php 
    } ?> />No

In form submission function (in controller) , I have set this for form validation :

$this->form_validation->set_rules('trailer', 'Trailer', 'is_numeric');

Can anyone help me to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Using codeignitor form function:

<?php $selected = 'Yes'; ?>
<?php echo form_label('Trailer: ', 'trailer'); ?>
<?php echo form_label('Yes', 'trailer_yes') . form_radio(array('name' => 'trailer', 'value' => 'Yes', 'checked' => ('Yes' == $selected), 'id' => 'trailer_yes')); ?>&nbsp;&nbsp;
<?php echo form_label('No', 'trailer_no') . form_radio(array('name' => 'trailer', 'value' => 'No', 'checked' => ('No' == $selected), 'id' => 'trailer_no')); ?>
<?php echo form_error('trailer'); ?>

You can use the form_validation library and do this in a much elegant way.

You can use the form_radio() with set_radio() as follows:

$this->load->library('form_validation');
echo form_radio('trailer', '1', set_radio('trailer', '1', $row->videotype === "1" ? TRUE : FALSE));
echo form_radio('trailer', '0', set_radio('trailer', '0', $row->videotype === "0" ? TRUE : FALSE));

This works for me on Codeigniter 3 on PHP 5.6, should work on other versions too.

Check below for default value check

<?php
    echo $gender = $this->input->post('gender');
    if($gender=='male' || empty($gender)) $mchecked=true;
    else if($gender=='female') $fchecked=true;
?>  
<?php echo form_label('Gender: ', 'gender'); ?><br />
    <?php echo form_radio('gender', 'male', @$mchecked, 'id=male').form_label('Male', 'male'); ?>
    <?php echo  form_radio('gender', 'female', @$fchecked, 'id=female').form_label('Female','female'); ?>

The set_value function will useful in edit form validation, try this way

<input type="radio" name="trailer" value="1" <?php 
    echo set_value('trailer', $row->videotype) == 1 ? "checked" : ""; 
?> />Yes

<input type="radio" name="trailer" value="0" <?php 
    echo set_value('trailer', $row->videotype) == 0 ? "checked" : ""; 
?> />No

In the controller the validation rules fine, please also use trim rule in case post data have blank space

$this->form_validation->set_rules('trailer', 'Trailer', 'trim|is_numeric');

EDIT: the set_radio function create issue in edit mode form validation please use set_value function

The set_radio is a poorly documented CI function. You're not using it right. You're better off not using it. This is simpler:

<input type="radio" name="trailer" value="1" <?php if($row->videotype==1) ?> checked=checked <?php } ?> />Yes
<input type="radio" name="trailer" value="0" <?php if($row->videotype==0) ?> checked=checked <?php } ?> />No
