how to keep checkbox checked after click preview button

[amel86]

What are some simple ways to maintain checkbox value when user click preview button?

I want to submit post. Then when i click preview button, I want to keep all data on that page. When i choose monday and tuesday from 7 days in check box then when i click preview button i want monday and tuesday still checked and the others uncheck. The problem is when i click preview button all data that i just entered lost.

<?php
    if (isset($_POST['day']))
    {
        foreach ($_POST['day'] as $selectedDay)
            $selected[$selectedDay] = "checked";
    }
?>
 
<form action="" method="post">
    <input type="checkbox" name="day[]" <?php echo $selected['monday'] ?> value="monday" />monday<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="day[]" <?php echo $selected['tuesday'] ?> value="tuesday" />tuesday<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="day[]" <?php echo $selected['wednesday'] ?> value="wednesday" />wednesday<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="day[]" <?php echo $selected['thursday'] ?> value="thursday" />thursday<br />

@chathura86
I will try your code..thanx a lot chathura86

chathura..
i already try your code.
but how if the value like monday i want to change to other words that separated with space like 'no days'

when i put 'no days' in $selected['no days'] it show error like below:

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/newgadsc/public_html/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3950) : eval()'d code on line 1403

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.
