maybe it's because you're trying to echo something inside of a string definition?  I'm not much for complex mixing of statements but this is how I'd do it...

isSelected = function(num) {
    if (!(strcmp(num, $rpp))) {
        return " SELECTED";
    } else {
        return "";
    }
}
$resultsperpage="<form name='form1' method='post' action='something.php'>
<label>
    Results per page <select name='rpp' id='rpp' onChange='this.form.submit();'>
    <option value='10'" .isSelected('10'). ">10</option>

// etc, etc.
