You need to add isset() function to see whether u_role to see whether it exists.

For example like this:

if (isset($_POST["u_role"]) && !empty($_POST["u_role"])) {
echo "checked";    
}else{  
echo "not checked";
}

AS LM says. However, as you're using a radiobutton, u_role should always be set, so you need to set one of them to 'checked' as default. So LM's code will probably set the last radiobutton regardless of which one was set on form submit because it doesn't check for the value.

<?php
$memCheck = (!isset($_POST["u_role"]) || $_POST["u_role"] == 'Member')) ? "  checked = 'checked'" : "";
$admCheck = (isset($_POST["u_role"]) && $_POST["u_role"] == 'Administrator')) ? "  checked = 'checked'" : "";
?>


 <td><input type="radio" name="u_role"  value="Member"<?php echo memCheck;?> /> Member
         <input type="radio" name="u_role"  value="Administrator"<?php echo admCheck;?> /> Administrator </td>

thank you LM but its not working :(

Diafol can you help me., theres a syntax error in the code you've given..tnx

$memCheck = (!isset($_POST["u_role"]) || $_POST["u_role"] == 'Member') ? "  checked = 'checked'" : "";
$admCheck = (isset($_POST["u_role"]) && $_POST["u_role"] == 'Administrator') ? "  checked = 'checked'" : "";

Substitute that bit - I put in too many parentheses. That's was comes from coding off the top of your head. :)

Also...

<td>
    <input type="radio" name="u_role"  value="Member"<?php echo $memCheck;?> /> Member
    <input type="radio" name="u_role"  value="Administrator"<?php echo $admCheck;?> /> Administrator
</td>

Notice the $ for the vars - I forgot those too. :(
