select field values

[crawfd]

I need to keep the values set in the below select menu. i.e. when someone selects Awareness the page refreshes and value and name is still set at Awarness. This is also crucial for my pagination implementation because on a page click of anything past my limit defaults to an empty value. Thanks..

return "<form name=\"form2\" method=\"post\" action=\"home.php?page=manage&action=entries\"><select name=\"sort\" style=\"font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; color: 000000;\" onchange=\"document.forms['form2'].submit()\"> 
        <option selected>Sort by Category</option>
<option value=\"1\">Sort by Date</option> 
        <option value=\"2\">Sort by Awareness(Low)</option> 
        <option value=\"3\">Sort by Awareness(Medium)</option> 
        <option value=\"4\">Sort by Awareness(High)</option> 
        <option value=\"5\">Sort by Past Journals</option> 
        <option value=\"6\">Sort by Recent Journals</option> 
        </select></form>";
		}

if I understand you right you need to use something like

if($_GET['sort'] == 1) { echo "CHECKED"; }

on each of the options (obviously for option 2 use value of 2 etc)

Well I tried this but it doesn't seem to work....what am I doing wrong?

print "<form name=\"form2\" method=\"post\" action=\"home.php?page=manage&action=entries\"><select name=\"sort\" style=\"font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; color: 000000;\" onchange=\"document.forms['form2'].submit()\">";

if($_POST['sort'] != 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6) { 
echo "option selected>Sort by Category</option"; 
} else {

if($_POST['sort'] == 1) { 
echo "<option selected value=\"1\">Sort by Date</option>"; 
} else {
echo "<option value=\"1\">Sort by Date</option>"; 
}

if($_POST['sort'] == 2) { 
echo "<option selected value=\"2\">Sort by Awareness(Low)</option>"; 
} else {
echo "<option value=\"2\">Sort by Awareness(Low)</option>"; 
}

if($_POST['sort'] == 3) { 
echo "<option selected value=\"3\">Sort by Awareness(Medium)</option>"; 
} else {
echo "<option value=\"3\">Sort by Awareness(Medium)</option>"; 
}

if($_POST['sort'] == 4) { 
echo "<option selected value=\"4\">Sort by Awareness(High)</option>"; 
} else {
echo "<option value=\"4\">Sort by Awareness(High)</option>"; 
}

if($_POST['sort'] == 5) { 
echo "<option selected value=\"5\">Sort by Past Journals</option>"; 
} else {
echo "<option value=\"5\">Sort by Past Journals</option>"; 
}

if($_POST['sort'] == 6) { 
echo "<option selected value=\"6\">Sort by Recent Journals</option>"; 
} else {
echo "<option value=\"6\">Sort by Recent Journals</option>"; 
}
} 

print "</select></form>";

I think you want:

if(!in_array($_POST['sort'], array(1,2,3,4,5,6))) { 
echo "option selected>Sort by Category</option"; 
} else {
