HTML Forms: Select

[Anon]

I am wanting to use a select component in my html form. In this case my select will contain the values of OUT or IN. My problem is getting the select component to display the saved value in my database. To clear things up :-) Say my database has the stored value of OUT. When my form is displayed I would like to have the value of OUT be selected.

TIA,

what you do is get the value out of the db and store it as $inout for example

then when writing the html code

<select value=OUT <?if($inout == "OUT"){echo "selected";} ?> >OUT</select>

<select value=IN <?if($inout == "IN"){echo "selected";} ?> >IN</select>

Hope this is what you meant
