Question 'bout dropdown boxes

mparab

I have some drop down boxes being populated from a table:

    print"<td><select name=project>";
    if($project=mysql_fetch_array($pro))
    {
    do{
         print"<option value='$project[proj_name]'>$project[proj_name]";
     }
    while($project=mysql_fetch_array($pro));
    }
    else{}

Now my question is, how can i make the value that is selected equal to another variable ie: $myrow[project], upon loading. Any ideas?

echo '<select name="project">';
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($pro))
{
	echo '<option value="' . $row['proj_name'] . '"';
	if ($row['proj_name'] == $myrow['project']) {echo ' selected';}
	echo '>' . $row['proj_name'];
}
echo '</select>';

what do the dots in . $row['proj_name'] . mean? And i like to use print instead of echo, is that fine to do?
