Cant get php to work inside shortcode content

Question

I tried several solutions from looking at similar questions within the site but it won't work me. =( Please help.

This is an excerpt from my original code:

<form action="" method="get">
<input type="text" name="search" value="">
<input type="submit" value="Search">
<?php echo do_shortcode('[expand]
<input type="checkbox" name="title" <?php if(isset($_GET['title'])) echo "checked='checked'"; ?>>
    <label for="ti">Title</label></td>
[/expand]'); ?>
</form>

Basically, I want my checkboxes to remain checked, if they were checked before hitting submit. Unfortunately, it's been hours and I can't get the php to work inside the shortcode.

Please help.

Answer 1

your can try this,

<form action="" method="GET">
    <input type="text" name="search" value="">
    <input type="submit" value="Search">
    <?php 
     $check=isset($_GET['title']) ? "checked='checked'" : '';
     echo do_shortcode('[expand]
     <input type="checkbox" name="title" '.$check.' ><label for="ti">Title</label></td>
     <input type="submit" value="Search">
     [/expand]'); 
    ?>
</form>
