Question regarding forms

[neXGen]

Hello!
Im currently making a reg form for a guild site (Anarchy Online if your interested) and quite a few of the options have a listbox.

Now, I tried to make the selected listbox item reapear selected if you forgot to type something in and hit submit.

<select name="Breed" size="1" id="Breed">
  <option value="Homo-Atrox Neuter" <?php if ($Breed = 'Homo-Atrox Neuter') {echo "selected";} ?>>Homo-Atrox Neuter</option>
  <option value="Homo-Nano Female" <?php if ($Breed = 'Homo-Nano Female') {echo "selected";} ?>>Homo-Nano Female</option>
  <option value="Homo-Nano Male" <?php if ($Breed = 'Homo-Nano Male') {echo "selected";} ?>>Homo-Nano Male</option>
  <option value="Homo-Opifex Female" <?php if ($Breed = 'Homo-Opifex Female') {echo "selected";} ?>>Homo-Opifex Female</option>
  <option value="Homo-Opifex Male" <?php if ($Breed = 'Homo-Opifex Male') {echo "selected";} ?>>Homo-Opifex Male</option>
  <option value="Homo-Solitus Female" <?php if ($Breed = 'Homo-Solitus Female') {echo "selected";} ?>>Homo-Solitus Female</option>
  <option value="Homo-Solitus Male" <?php if ($Breed = 'Homo-Solitus Male') {echo "selected";} ?>>Homo-Solitus Male</option>
</select>

Now, when the page is parced (correct expression) the code ends up like this:

<select name="Breed" size="1" id="Breed">
  <option value="Homo-Atrox Neuter" selected>Homo-Atrox Neuter</option>
  <option value="Homo-Nano Female" selected>Homo-Nano Female</option>
  <option value="Homo-Nano Male" selected>Homo-Nano Male</option>
  <option value="Homo-Opifex Female" selected>Homo-Opifex Female</option>
  <option value="Homo-Opifex Male" selected>Homo-Opifex Male</option>
  <option value="Homo-Solitus Female" selected>Homo-Solitus Female</option>
  <option value="Homo-Solitus Male" selected>Homo-Solitus Male</option>
</select>

What am I doing wrong and how do I make it right?

Thanks in advance.

Erm just a quicky

Remember that a single equalls sign (=) moves the value from right to left.

To test to see if the left side is the SAME value as the right you should use the double equals sign (==).

That might be where you are going wrong (all your if statements and moving values instead of testing them to see if they are the same.

Basicly change all of your '=' to '==' in your code snipit above.
