vs
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($rs))

Keep checking back and we will get them done sooner of later.

Wish you could do another tutorial which sort of processes the value selected in the select box using php.

thanks

There isn’t any way to save the information if someone makes a selection and then simply refreshes the form, because no value has been stored anywhere. Sometimes a browser will cache the data, but each browser works a little differntly. If you have a state code already stored in a table or you are passing the value from one form to the next, it is easy to show which state was selected.

First, we need to have the state code stored and passed to a variable. I am going to call the variable $stateCode.

Second, let’s assume that the column names for your state code and state name are state_code and state_name.

Third, modify the code above and change the echo statement to the following.

echo "<option value=\"".$row['state_code']."\"";
if ($stateCode == $row['state_code']) echo " selected=\"selected\"";
echo ">".$row['state_name']."\n";

This will not work unless you have a value assigned to $stateCode. In order for a stored value to show as “selected”, the option statement must include the “selected” attribute.

Thank you very much!
