Strange Select Problem

[scottybwoy]

Hi All,

I have a problem with my Select, field in my template.  It uses php to recieve the options, which works fine.  Selecting the options is ok except for the first one!  Even if I select another and then select the original.  Here's the code :
[code]
<?php
<label for='type'>Customer Type :</label>
<select action='submit' name='type' tabindex='12'>
<?php
while ($tRow = mssql_fetch_array($sqlT)) { // Loop through each element
if ($tRow[0] == $data_array["type"]) {
echo "<option value='" . $tRow[0] . "' selected='selected'>" . $tRow[1] . "</option>";
} else {
print("<option value='" . $tRow[0] . "'>" . $tRow[1] . "</option>");
}
}
?>
</select>
<div id="inf_type" class='sp'>&nbsp;</div>
<label for='pay'>Payment Method :</label>
<select action='submit' name='pay' tabindex='13'>
<?php
while ($pRow = mssql_fetch_array($sqlP)) { // Loop through each element
if ($pRow[0] == $data_array["pay"]) {
echo "<option value='" . $pRow[0] . "' selected='selected'>" . $pRow[1] . "</option>";
} else {
print("<option value='" . $pRow[0] . "'>" . $pRow[1] . "</option>");
}
}
?>
</select>
?>
[/code]

Array offset [0] is figures, 0, 1, 2 etc.  Whilst offset [1] is the text.  When int '0' is sent via POST is it classed as NULL?  Thanks

Maybe I am missing something or not familiar with this technique, but shouldn't this

[code]<select action='submit' name='type' tabindex='12'>[/code]

be

[code]<form action="processingpage.php" name="form">
<select name='type' tabindex='12'>[/code]

I don't think the OP posted the entire script, so the <form> tag is not in the segment that was posted.

Lol yes the <form> is further up.  But was would like to know how 0 is delt with in a $_POST array?  Cos it seems to only happen for those values.  Is their a workaround for this.
