Drop down menu

hi, this question might just be the stupidest ever, but I want to be careful and not mess anything up. this is the code for a drop down menu I have in an application page.

<select name="ProgrammeName" id="ProgrammeName">

<option value="" selected="selected" disabled="disabled">Select Programme</option>

<option value="2-Week" <?php if (!(strcmp("2-Week", KT_escapeAttribute($row_rstblapplication['ProgrammeName'])))) {echo "SELECTED";} ?>>2-Week</option>

<option value="4-Week" <?php if (!(strcmp("4-Week", KT_escapeAttribute($row_rstblapplication['ProgrammeName'])))) {echo "SELECTED";} ?>>4-Week</option>

<option value="8-Week" <?php if (!(strcmp("8-Week", KT_escapeAttribute($row_rstblapplication['ProgrammeName'])))) {echo "SELECTED";} ?>>8-Week</option>

</select>

 

to change from a 2 week to a 3 week option, I just substitute the 3 for a 2, right? I think it is just a string, I'm just not sure what >2-Week</option> at the end of the line is, not calling a variable, right?

The end of that line represents the actual text the user will see in the drop down list.

 

So if you did this:

<option value="3-Week" <?php if (!(strcmp("2-Week", KT_escapeAttribute($row_rstblapplication['ProgrammeName'])))) {echo "SELECTED";} ?>>2-Week</option>

 

the user would see "2-Week" as an option to select in the drop down but the value behind it that would be used by your program would be "3-Week"
