updating with drop down menu

[scmeeker]

I have a drop down menu option on a form.  After a user makes a selection, it goes to the next page for confirmation with the option to edit their information. 

 

On the edit page, I would like the drop down menu to go to the selection they chose. 

 

Anyone have a suggestion on how to incorporate the PHP code with this?

 

Here is the drop down code I'm using with it:

 

<select name="location" class="blackfont">

Post the code that builds the list of options.

Here is the code that builds the drop down menu:

 

<select name="location" class="blackfont">
    <option value="US">US</option>
    <option value="CANADA">CANADA</option>
</select>

Assuming this isn't already echoed from within PHP, and the form uses POST method . . .

 

<select name="location" class="blackfont">
    <option value="US"<?php if( $_POST['location'] == 'US' ) { echo ' selected="SELECTED"'; } ?>>US</option>
    <option value="CANADA"<?php if( $_POST['location'] == 'CANADA' ) { echo ' selected="SELECTED"'; } ?>>CANADA</option>
</select>
