[Resolved] HTML Coding

[NZ_Kiwi]

I have a normal HTML drop down menu...

<select size="1" name="parent_club" >
<option value"test">List Options</option>
</select>

Now how do I write the code for one of these options to be "selected"

<select size="1" name="parent_club">
<option value="test" selected="selected">List Options</option>
</select>

Sweet does this look okay?

<option <?php if ($team1id == $team_id) echo "selected="/selected"/" ?> value="<?php echo $row4["team_id"]; ?>"><?php echo $row4["team_name"]; ?></option>

That will work. You could loop through an array to make things easier. Something to this effect:

print("<select name=\"parent_club\">\r\n");
foreach ($row as $name => $value) {
    print("  <option value=\"{$value}\"" . ($value == $defalut ? ' selected' : '') . ">{$name}</option>\r\n");
}
print("</select>");

Just as a note, if your using HTML 4.01 or lower you can just use selected, instead of selected="selected".

I have this

<option <?php if ($team1id == '$team_id') echo "selected=\ "selected\"" ?> value="<?php echo $row4["team_id"]; ?>"><?php echo $row4["team_name"]; ?></option>

But I get this error

Parse error: parse error, expecting ','' or';'' in /home/httpd/vhosts/site.com/httpdocs/admin/results/editrounddetails.php on line 153

Change this:
echo "selected= "selected""

To:
echo 'selected= "selected"'

Because you are trying to echo double quotes inside double quotes PHP thinks it's the end of the string. So, you can change the double quotes to singles.

Also, are you sure you want:
'$team_id'??
That doesn't look right as it's just a string $team_id, not the VALUE of $team_id
