[SOLVED] Setting Selected option using PHP

[AshmanSNET]

Hi,

I have a drop down list which I want to be set to what was selected when the form is submitted. As the form is processed by the same page, it returns to the preset default. How would I go about making this selection box set the option selected on the next page?

 

Thanks

<?php
echo '<select name="gender">';
echo '<option value="male"';
if (strtolower($_POST['gender']) == 'male') echo ' selected="selected"';
echo '>Female</option>';
echo '</select>';
echo '<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit"></td></tr>';
echo '</table>';
echo '</form>';
?>
