Widget form not saving radio button option

    I’ve recently created a new widget but I’m having a problem with the radio button options in my form function. I can’t get the saved option to show up in the config form where you go to configure the widget. If you choose an option and save, the correct setting does get saved to the database. However, when you go back to re-configure it doesn’t show either radio button selected.

    Here is my code for the radio button in my form function of my widget class:


    <p>
    <label for="<?php echo $this->get_field_id( 'showCategories' ); ?>">Show categories:</label>
    <input type="radio" name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name( 'showCategories' ); ?>" value="1"<?php echo $instance['showCategories'] == 1 ? ' checked' : ''; ?>" /> Yes
    <input type="radio" name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name( 'showCategories' ); ?>" value="0"<?php echo $instance['showCategories'] == 0 ? ' checked' : ''; ?>" /> No
    </p>
