menu??

[skyloon]

the problem is the menu can't display the value when I click the edit button from the previous form.

I know the the text field is <value="<? echo $name ?>"> but how about the menu? <select name="State" value="<? echo $state ?>"> ??????

Well, drop down menu's dont work like that.

They are selected with

<option value="value" selected="selected">option</option>

i've tried this, but it only display the last option 'Sarawak' although the previous value is 'Selangor'.

<option value="<? echo $State ?>" selected="selected">Perlis</option>
<option value="<? echo $State ?>" selected="selected">Selangor</option>
<option value="<? echo $State ?>" selected="selected">Sabah</option>
<option value="<? echo $State ?>" selected="selected">Sarawak</option>

Actually, it would be more like:

<?php
function printSelected($current_value, $value) {
	if ($current_value == $value)
		return ' selected="selected"';
}
?>
<select name="State">
<option value="Perlis"<? echo printSelected('Perlis', State); ?>>Perlis</option>
<option value="Selangor"<? echo printSelected('Selangor', $State); ?>>Selangor</option>
<option value="Sabah"<? echo printSelected('Sabah', $State); ?>>Sabah</option>
<option value="Sarawak"<? echo printSelected('Sarawak', $State); ?>>Sarawak</option>
</select>

Of course there might be better methods, but it depends on the circumstances.
