I am currently making a php contact form, and i have various validation checks being ran, and when an error is found the data the user inputted was being lost because the page is refreshing. I managed to resolve the issue by using the coding below for input fields but I can't manage to make drop down boxes retain the selected option when the page is refreshed, any help please?
<?php session_start(); ?>
if ($submit) { foreach($_POST as $key=>$value){ $_SESSION[$key]=$value; }
Here is an example of how the data is retained in a normal input field.
<input class="form" name="name1" type="text" size="26" maxlength="20" value="<? print("$_SESSION[name1]");?>" />
But I can't figure out how to do the same for the drop down boxes? Below is the html code for the drop down box. Any help please?
<select class="form" name="customer"><option value="Select One">Select One</option><option value="Yes">Yes</option><option value="No">No</option></select>
Thank you!

I am trying to refrain from using java in this instance, I'm just not sure how to make the saved data show as the selected option on page refresh. Can anyone figure out the proper format?
