[RESOLVED] select box help

[lozza1978]

I have a select box like this

<select name="when" >
                                  <option>Now &nbsp;&nbsp;(If Available)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</option>
                                  <option>Today</option>
                                  <option>This Week</option>
                                </select>

I want to add something like this to the select box

value="<? if (isset($_POST['when'])) {echo $when;}?>">

So if the select box is set i want it to echo the selected option,

I am asking this for a form validation, if the form fails, the select box resets back to default, I dont want this to happen,

Any ideas,

Thanks for reading,

<?php
$when = array('Now', 'Today', 'This Week');

echo '
<form action="" method="POST">
<select name="when">
';

foreach ($when as $value)
{
	echo '<option';
	if (isset($_POST['when']) && $_POST['when'] == $value) {echo ' selected';}
	echo '>' . $value . '</option>';
}

echo '
</select><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>
';
?>
