taquitosensei Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I think your $buzz and $buzz2 need to come before and after the <select>'s and then you need to make the blank option selected. <?php echo ($buzz)?$buzz:""; ?> <select name="select"> <option value="" <?php echo ($buzz)?"selected":""; ?>>Please select the level</option> <option value="Administrator">Administrator</option> <option value="License">License</option> <option value="Scorer">Scorer</option> <select> <?php echo ($buzz2)?$buzz2:""; ?> Hi everyone, I am trying to have "require" label on form.

Solution Barand Posted May 22, 2018 Solution Share Posted May 22, 2018 you could try using the "required" property <select name="select" required> <option value="">Please select the level</option> <option value="Administrator">Administrator</option> <option value="License">License</option> <option value="Scorer">Scorer</option> <select> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/307296-valdiation/#findComment-1558553 Share on other sites More sharing options...
