maybe, partially - generally radio buttons and checkboxes have fixed values -
it's the 'are they selected' part that probably want to make dynamic...
basically you need to conditionally add the attribute 'checked' (i.e.
checked="checked") to the radios and checkboxes you want selected when the
form is first shown.
e.g.
<?
if ($thisChkBoxIsInitiallySelected) {
$checked = ' checked="checked"';
} else {
$checked = '';
}
echo '<input name="gmev[]" type="checkbox" id="gmev"',$checked,'/>';
?>
of course there are a million different ways to write this kind of thing
(i.e. don't take my example verbatim perse) but hopefully you get the idea.
