Fadion Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 U mean: <option value="php" selected="selected">PHP</option> Thats basically a selected value among all the other options, which will show as selected by default. Hope its what u meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 By default the first option is shown as selected, otherwise the one with the "selected" attribute set is shown as selected. But this is basic HTML, not PHP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexhoward Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 Nice one! so if i just bang the php in there to grad a number from mysql, that's what it'll show! e.g. <option value="<?php ?>" selected="selected"><?php ?></option> however, this would put the number in twice...? for example php "selected", 1,2,3,4,... but i can live with that! cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
