I guess this code was not copy pasted from your actual source? It
would generate mysql errors.
Anyway, I think I've an idea of what you want, so here's my two cents :
function edit_cat_radio($item_cat_id) {
connect();
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM cat");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
echo "<label for=\"{$row['cat_name']}\">{$row['cat_name']}<input
type=\"radio\" name=\"fcat\" value=\"{$row['cat_id']}\"
id=\"{$row['cat_id']}\" " . ($item_cat_id == $row["cat_id"] ?
"checked=\"checked\"" : "") . "/>\n";
}
}
