remember selected

[Kano]

Hi there,

 

How does a script remember selected qty when the user needs to edit an order form.

 

echo"<select name ='blar'>";

for($num;$num<$num2;$num++)

{

echo"<option value = '$num'";

 

........................... // here needs to be selected = 'selected' at the correct place?????

 

echo">$num</option>";

 

thanks.

 

}

 

echo"</select>";

from a database or session's or both?

The select name is taken as a product id from the database, the option values are a count. The user selects product qty's on a list then processes the order, they are then asked to confirm or cancel/edit order, on cancel/edit order the user is taken back to the previous form in the remembered state to edit. I wish to have the select inputs to remember which value was selected between 0 and highest number.

 

thanks.
