Do test this, but I think all that's required is you make the name an array:
<select name="DPRpriority[]" form="DPRform">
Something like this?
if $DPRpriority[0] == "7. Morality / Drugs" { echo "selected"; }
I hate arrays. :D

<?php
$DPRpriority[] = array(
1 => "a",
"1" => "b",
1.5 => "c",
true => "d",
);
var_dump($array);
?>
