Just hard-code a blank OPTION in the HTML after the SELECT, but before the PHP to dump out the other options: <SELECT NAME="whatever"> <OPTION VALUE="">-- Select Choice --</OPTION> <?php /* your posted code goes here */ ?> </SELECT> Presentation Purists will claim this is wrong, I suspect, since it hard-codes the one special value for "nothing selected" but there it is.
