selection tag

[Tiger99]

Hi
I have a value which is assigned to a variable $id(from database)
I need to use that value to select the approprate option value in the selection tag.
eg. $id =1
<select name=id>
<option value=1>1</option>
<option value=2>2</option>
etc..
</select>
I am not sure how to assign $id to the selection tag and select the approprate option

Please help

Thanks in advance

Using your example:

Print "<select name=id>"; 

if ($id == 1) {
  Print "<option value=1 SELECTED>1</option>";
}
else { 
  Print "<option value=1>1</option>";
}

if ($id == 2) {
  Print "<option value=2 SELECTED>2</option>"; 
}
else { 
  Print "<option value=2>2</option>"; 
}

if ($id == 3) {
  Print "<option value=3 SELECTED>3</option>";
}
else { 
  Print "<option value=3>3</option>";
}

Print "</select> 

You get the idea...
