This is the one I use
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
$proveedores = consulta("SELECT * FROM proveedores ORDER BY Nombre");
while ($fila = mysql_fetch_assoc($proveedores))
$proveedores_list[$fila['id']]= $fila['Nombre'];
mysql_free_result($proveedores);
$proveedores_select = "<select name=\"provID\" id=\"provID\">\n\r<option value=\"\"></option>\n\r";
foreach ($proveedores_list as $key => $value)
{
if($art['provID']==$key)
$proveedores_select .= "<option value=\"$key\" selected=\"selected\">$value</option>\n\r";
else
$proveedores_select .= "<option value=\"$key\">$value</option>\n\r";
}
$proveedores_select .= "</select>\n\r";

This should do it.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
<?php echo '<select name="options">'; foreach(array("option1", "option2", "option3") as $i){ $select = ($_GET['options'] == $i) ? ' selected="selected"':''; echo '<option value="'.$i.'"'.$select.'>'.$i.'</option>'; } echo '</select>';

Not sure if you've figured it out by now... or maybe got it from somewhere else? But you can do this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24
<?php $selectedState = $_GET["state"]; // (your $_GET should be santized) $states = array( "AL" => "Alabama", "AK" => "Alaska", "AZ" => "Arizona", "AR" => "Arkansas", "CA" => "California", etc... ); $stateSelect = '<select>'; foreach ($states as $key => $value) { $selected = ($key == $selectedState) ? ' selected="selected"' : ''; $stateSelect .= '<option value="' . $key . '"' . $selected . '>' . $value . '</option>'; } $stateSelect .= '</select>'; echo $stateSelect; ?>
is there any way to shorten this?... im guessing id be pretty inconvenient if the select box had all fifty states... the thing is, i need it to end up as one variable, which in this case is $select_box
