Saving value of a dropdown item after the submit button

[Gmunky]

Hello. I have a drop down list :

<select>

<option>Apple</option>

<option>Orange</option>

<option>Banana</option>

</select>

 

The problem is once an item is selected  and the submit button is pressed, the

dropdown refreshes and goes back to the first option which is 'Apple' in this case.

I want the value picked to stay selected after the submit button is pressed.

Thanks for the help!

do you post back to the same page?

 

if so you need to add these to the select options

 $value=$_POST[name]
<select>
<option value="apple"<?php if($value=="apple"){echo "selected";}?>>apple</option>
</select>
