Form ??

[czukoman20]

<tr><td>Type of Market:</td>
  <td><label>
    <select name="type_market" id="type_market">
      <option value="stocks">Stocks </option>
      <option value="commodities">Commodities</option>
      <option value="education">Education</option>
      <option value="planning">Planning</option>
      <option value="morgage_broker">Morgage broker</option>
              </select>
  </label></td>

 

That is my list form ... i am wondering how could i make it so when the user goes to edit account.. how can i make it so it echos $req_user_info['type_market']; (market type variable that i created)

and display that area of the drop down menu ?

 

for example how you have for a text field

<tr><td>Comments To the Banner owners. :</td><td><textarea name="comments" cols="40" rows="5">
<? echo $req_user_info['comments']; ?></textarea></td><td><? echo $form->error("comments"); ?></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" align="right">

 

<? echo $req_user_info['comments'];  shows what the user already has in their database

 

thanks
