Robert, Murray's suggestion is good. Here is some code to produce the current value of 'county' in a select list: <!-- START of counties.php --> <?php $_REQUEST['county'] = !isset($_REQUEST['county'])? NULL:$_REQUEST['county']; // initialize or capture ?> <select name="county"> <option value="<?php echo $_REQUEST['county'];?>" SELECTED><?php echo $_REQUEST['county'];?></option> <!-- Add, remove or change any of the select option items below: --> <option value="Aberdeenshire">Aberdeenshire</option> <option value="Angus">Angus</option> <option value="Argyll & Bute">Argyll & Bute</option> <option value="Avon">Avon</option> <option value="Ayrshire">Ayrshire</option> <option value="Bedfordshire">Bedfordshire</option> <option value="Berkshire">Berkshire</option> <option value="Borders">Borders</option> <option value="Western Isles">Western Isles</option> </select> <!-- END of counties.php --> Here's a basic select list article: http://www.globalissa.com/articles/articleSelectList.php Dave. http://www.globalissa.com === > I have to create registration forms all the time for people in the office > and > what I keep running into is that I need a way for when they edit a field > that > the drop-down list of choices is automatically set for the right now. > > I have 100+ counties in one list, but I don't want to write 100+ if > statements > for checking to see if the value of $county equals the value of the field > I am > drop down choice. > > Anyone have some quick solutions? > > I have radio buttons as well, but going to use a drop-down list for the > editing > pages to make it all simple. === -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
