Try to populate a select field

[pug]

<?$arrayOfStates = array("AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FL, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY, AA, AE, AP, AS, PR, FM, GU, MH, MP, PW");?>
		<SELECT name="state">
		<?			
			//Loop through until find the state then select it
			for($i=0;$i<57;$i++)
			{				
				if($row["state"] == $arrayOfStates[$i])
						echo "<option value='" .$row["state"]. "' selected></option>";
				else
						echo "<option value='" .$arrayOfStates[$i]. "'></option>";
			}
		?>
  		</SELECT>

What is wrong with this? What I want it to do when a user logs in selected which state they have stored in the database...

You're array is what's wrong.
you really only have an array with 1 item in it, a string of abbreviations.

EACH state abbreviation should be within quotes.

$arrayOfStates = array('AK', 'AL', 'AR',...);
