Retain Value ofRadio Button
<input type="radio" name="rest_on_email" value="no"<?php if(isset($trimmed["rest_on_email"])) {echo 'checked="checked"';} ?>>YES
<input type="radio" name="rest_on_email" value="1" <?php if(isset($trimmed["rest_on_email"])) {echo 'checked="checked"';} ?>>NOThis is what I want to do but if gives me an error. Basically what I want to do is make the radio button sticky, so if someone does not complete the form, the choice will still be checked,

I see two problems. Where is the value of $trimmed["rest_on_email"] coming from or set?
You have two radio buttons and you are trying to check them both if $trimmed["rest_on_email"] is set. Once the form is submitted the radio button that is checked will be sent to the forms processor. If $trimmed[] is an array of trimmed values sent by the form, then only one of these radio buttons should appeared in that array.

@elvin66: Good point. Unless the client changes the default selection, the value that is submitted will always be "1" because it is the last instance of the matching name= attribute.
Thanks Ray. Yeah it seems he is trying to set both radios to "checked" here. Since moving to Florida in Feb this year I haven't done any webpage stuff at all just back line class scripting but it's obvious where this solution lays :)

This is what I had come up with:
<input type="radio" name="rest_on_email" value="no"<?php if(isset($_POST['rest_on_email']) && $_POST['rest_on_email']=='no') { echo 'checked="checked"'; } else { echo 'checked="checked"';}?> >NO
<input type="radio" name="rest_on_email" value="1" <?php if(isset($_POST['rest_on_email']) && $_POST['rest_on_email']=='1') { echo 'checked="checked"'; }?> >YES
