Boudga Maniac (V) Mad Scientist From: Jacks raging bile duct.... Insane since: Mar 2000	posted 07-01-2007 19:04 Hi all, I have a website where I allow prepopped text inputs. I have a static select form field with the fifty states. If a state like "TX" is in the $_GET string how can I code the form field to automatically select "TX" out of all 50 states when the page is loaded?

Hi all,

I have a website where I allow prepopped text inputs. I have a static select form field with the fifty states. If a state like "TX" is in the $_GET string how can I code the form field to automatically select "TX" out of all 50 states when the page is loaded?

Something like this:

code:

<?php
$statelist = array('AL', ... the others ... ,'WY');
?>
...
<select name="state">
<?
foreach ($statelist AS $key=>$val){
  if ($_GET['state'] == $val){
    echo "<option value=\"$val\" selected=\"selected\">$val</option>\n";
  }else{
    echo "<option value=\"$val\">$val</option>\n";
  }
}
?>
</select>

I don't usually give code, but I'm feeling nice today! Lucky you.

code:

if ($_GET['state'] == $val){

should read

code:

if (isset($_GET['state'] && $_GET['state'] == $val){

though
