[FX.php List] FMP Checkbox

[Gjermund Gusland Thorsen]

First of all your code is very hard to read "" in only needed for
escaped characters

I tried changing your code a little bit.

foreach( $ans01 as $value => $label) {
	$checked = $dJP['answer01'][0] == $value ? 'checked="checked"' : '';
	echo '<input name="answer01" type="radio" value="' . $value . '"' .
$checked . '>' . $label . "\n";
}
