Dynamic Drop Down List

[TomT]

Hi

I'm pulling some data from a DB and presenting it in a drop down list:

<option> 1 </option>

<option> 2 </option>

<option> 3 </option>

Etc..

 

This works well.

 

I decided to set one of the options as Selected using:

 

if ($user===$id) { 
echo "<option selected";
} else {
echo "<option";
}
echo " value='$id'>$name</option>";

 

This works but is VERY slow.. presumably as it has to check each $user against each $id..

 

Any way to do this faster ??

 

Thanks

<?php
// start loop
$selected = ($user===$id) ? 'selected' : '';
echo "<option value='$id' $selected>$name</option>";
// end loop
?>

Thanks that works..

But doesn't seem any faster ! ?

 

Any way to speed things up ?
