Hi
I have a Title select box on my website (Mr, Mrs, Miss, etc).
Now, if they enter something that does not meet the form validation, it reloads the page and populates the fields that has already been filled out along with the appropriate error message.
Now my question is what is the best way to add the selected value that was chosen on the initial filled out form so they dont have to re-select.

check the value as it's being rendered and if it's the matching one from the previous submition add the selected="selected" to the option.
A simple password hash :
My SQL/PHP Blog
function makePass($word=''){
$dbSalt = '$2a$07$'.substr(hash('whirlpool',$word),0,22);
$dbPass = crypt($word, $dbSalt);
return substr($dbPass,12);
}My SQL/PHP Blog

Will that not mean there will be lots of if statements?

depends on how you are populating your select element, which without code I can't see
