Laravel 4 - Input::old for radio buttons

You can try this using Laravel's out of the box HTML radio... Laravel Docs Form checkboxes and Radio

Using blade,

{{ Form::radio('genre', 'M', (Input::old('genre') == 'M'), array('id'=>'male', 'class'=>'radio')) }}
{{ Form::radio('genre', 'F', (Input::old('genre') == 'F'), array('id'=>'female', 'class'=>'radio')) }}

Or just php,

echo Form::radio('genre', 'M', (Input::old('genre') == 'M'), array('id'=>'male', 'class'=>'radio'));
echo Form::radio('genre', 'F', (Input::old('genre') == 'F'), array('id'=>'female', 'class'=>'radio'));

You could do this:

<input type="radio" name="genre" value="M" class="radio" id="male" <?php if(Input::old('genre')== "M") { echo 'checked="checked"'; } ?> >
<input type="radio" name="genre" value="F" class="radio" id="female" <?php if(Input::old('genre')== "F") { echo 'checked="checked"; } ?> >
