Drop down box resets when Submit is clicked
I have a drop down box that is populated from a MySQL database. When the user chooses an option from the list and clicks "Submit" the form calls itself ($PHP_SELF) but when the screen is re-drawn the user's choice is no longer showing in the drop down list but rather the first option from the list.

Is there a way I can make the form remember the user's choice so that is displays in the drop down after submit has been clicked?

Thanks in advance.

Yeh! Say you populate drop down like this:
php Code:
Original - php Code 
  1. echo "<select name='country'>";
  2. while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)
  3.  echo "<option>".$row['countryname']."</option>";
  4.  
  5. echo "</select>";
now to get default selected value which is selected by user before clicking submit:
php Code:
Original - php Code 
  1. echo "<select name='country'>";
  2. while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result){
  3.  if($_POST['country']==$row['countryname'])
  4.  echo "<option selected>".$row['countryname']."</option>";
  5.  else
  6.  echo "<option>".$row['countryname']."</option>";
  7. }
  8. echo "</select>";

Only half an hour to respond? What took you so long?

That's EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you very much, and so quick too.

Thanks again.
