sELECTING AN OPTION FROM DROPDOWN ON PAGE LOAD

[sheikhmdirfan]

I have a page which shows details of a user that can b edited.. these details are filled in the page when it loads. I have a dropdown list containing say name prefixes like Mr, Ms, Mrs, Dr, Prof, Lect, Principal...

When the page loads i want the already saved name prefix (in D😎 to b selected in the drop down with other options also available.

How can i do that..

Any help is welcome...

Thanks in advance

a simple example:

<?php
$titles = array('Mr.', 'Mrs.', 'Ms.', 'Dr.');

echo '
<form action="" method="post">
<select name="title">
';

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

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

notice that this form remembers the "title" after each for submission
';
?>
