Selected Value In Drop Down Menu
I want the first option ("selected" option) in a drop down menu to be based on the URL a user clicks on. For example, if the user clicks on the link:
layouts.php?submit=true&category=abstract
The first and selected value in the drop down menu should be abstract
Then the rest of the menu will pull from the database.
The code I am using now (below) lists all my categories from my database, but it is not putting the selected value first. How can I get this to work?? Code:

Showing What Was Selected In Drop-down Menu
I'm trying to create a form where the user inputs data, i validate it with php, and if some of the input is missing or invalid then i print out errors with the form filled out with the information they entered/selected previously so they can change/add to it. The problem I'm having is setting my drop down menus to be selected when the form is returned instead of returning their original state. The menu I have is named A ($A). Here's an example of what I'm doing that isn't working: PHP Code:

SQL Query Selected From A Drop Down Menu
I've got the following query which gets values $search and $furn from a form. SELECT * FROM properties WHERE description LIKE '%$search%' AND furniture='$furn' ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT $start, $display" This works almost fine. The only problem is that because $furn value is either 'yes' or 'no', selected from a drop down menu, sometimes when is not selected the query doesn't work. Code:

Jump Menu Selected Value
I have a set of 2 menus where the values of the 2nd are dependent on the value selected in the first. Yes, I will (eventually) convert this to a javascript process, but for now I am content reloading the page. I have created a jumpmenu that reloads the page with the state passed in the url (ie. community.php?state=NY). This determines the values displayed in a second (dependent) menu which then lists the counties available for that state. Code:

Set The Selected Text For Option Box Of A Menu..
Having major issues with this simple task, and I cant work out why its not doing as it should/expected. Basically, ive got a drop down box with the added bit of php: <select name="title" id="title"> <?php if($_SESSION['title'] != "") { echo '<option value="'. $_SESSION['title'] .'" selected="selected"></option>' } else { echo "<option value="" selected></option>"; } ?> <option>Mr</option> <option>Mrs</option> <option>Miss</option> <option>Ms</option> <option>Dr</option> </select> Basically, if the user submits a form, the title is stored in the session, this works fine, and then when returned to the page, the value should be filled in. Yet, when they return to the page, there value they selected is not shown in this box, instead, theres just a gap. The source seems correct, and this is whats shown: <select name="title" id="title"> <option value="Mr" selected="selected"></option>

Dropdown Menu <selected Name="...
I have a dropdown menu like this one: <select name="country" tabindex="6" id="select_country"> <option value="">- Country List -</option> <?php $query = "SELECT * FROM country ORDER BY country ASC"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed'); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result)) { $country = $row['country']; ?> <option value="<?php echo $country ?>"><?php echo $country ?></option> After I have selected one country and I hit the submit button it go back to the default value in the box, what I want is to show the selected value in box until I selected another value. If the default value is Australia when I start this page, I then select USA and hit the submit button it reset to the default value "Australia", but I want it to show USA as long I not select anything else. I have tried to use session in selected="<?php echo $_SESSION['country']; ?>" but it didnt work.

Populating Drop Down List With Selected Vaue
I have a drop down box and the "selected" value needs to be selected by a dynamic value that gets entered into the database, this is currently how im doing it: PHP Code: <?php                 if($modify_row[21] == "0") {                   print "<option value=" "></option>";                   print "<option value="1">Active</option>";                   print "<option value="0" selected>In-Active</option>";                 } elseif ($modify_row[21] == "1") {                   print "<option value=" "></option>";                   print "<option value="1" selected>Active</option>"; Its fairly straight forward, basically the option that is automatically selected needs to be the one coming from the database $modify_row[21].

Show Selected Value For Drop-downs In Dynamic Menus
I frequently work with forms where menus are pulled from a database. When a user enters data in the form and then saves it, if it is retrieved later, the form shows the saved data, including the drop-down menus. The way I normally do this in php is to first retrieve the data for the saved from. Then I create the menus and within the loop of creating the menus I simply add the word "selected" into the results row which equals the saved option on the form. Code:

Echo Drop Down Menu
What I do is when the form is posted (php_self) it does its check and if there are errors, ie. user has not filled in required data, it takes them back to the form but the text fields are already filled in with what they have already typed. But the drop down menus default back to the PLEASE CHOOSE option, how can I get my drop down menu to be what they have just selected. The reason I need this is there are 6 drop down menus for different things on the page and a user would get fed up having to reselect each one when they have not filled in a field. Code:
