[RESOLVED] Missing something..

fontener

function showOptionsDrop($array, $selected=NULL){
        $string = '<option value="NULL">Choose one</option>';
        foreach($array as $k => $v){
			if($k == $selected)
				{
					$s = ' selected="selected"';
				}
            $string .= '<option value="'.$k.'"'.$s.'>'.$v.'</option>'."\n";
        }
        return $string;
    }

if($k = $selected) returns all options as selected.
if($k == $selected) returns no options as selected.
if($k === $selected) returns no options as selected.

What am I missing?:queasy:

Well for one, this:

if($var = 'foo')

first assigns the value of 'foo' to the variable $var, meaning you've now lost whatever value $var previous had. '=' is the assignment operator, not a comparative operator (such as '==' or '===').

Second, can you show us how that function was called? Specifically, you haven't told us what the value of $selected was or what keys were contained in $array.

I figured it out.. I was passing the wrong $_SESSION['formVars']...

[code=php]$states_arr = array('AL'=>"Alabama",'AK'=>"Alaska",'AZ'=>"Arizona", ...'WY'=>"Wyoming");

$_SESSION['formVars']['state'] = "AK";

showOptionsDrop($states_arr,$_SESSION['formVars']['state']);
