<?php
$color = isset($_REQUEST['color']) ? $color : 'white';
$query = "select color from soaps";
$colors = mysql_query($query, $connection) or
error_log(mysql_error($connection) . " $query");
$kosher = false;
echo "<select name=\"color\">\n";
while (list($c) = mysql_fetch_row($colors)){
//Cheap and easy data scrubbing:
if ($c == $color) $kosher = true;
$selected = $c == $color ? 'SELECTED' : '';
echo "<option $selected>$c</option>\n";
}
echo "</select>\n";
//If they didn't pick a valid color, make it white
if (!$kosher) $color = 'white';
//Or log their IP
//Or raise a Red Alert.
//Or Whatever.
