Hope someone can help me... I have an insert form where several of the dropdown menus have values which are generated by pulling file contents (images) in to an array: [code] <?php //Looks into the directory and returns the files, no subdirectories echo "<select name='Photo1'>"; echo "<option value='NA'>NA</option>"; //The path to the style directory $dirpath = "../images/properties/"; $dh = opendir($dirpath); while (false !== ($file = readdir($dh))) { //Don't list subdirectories if (!is_dir("$dirpath/$file")) { //Truncate the file extension and capitalize the first letter echo "<option value='$file'>$file</option>"; } } closedir($dh); //Close Select echo "</select>"; ?> [/code] I'm now building an edit page and I need to set the value of the dropdown according to whats in the database, the code for which would be this: [code] <?php if (!(strcmp(0, $row_RS_Listing['Photo1']))) {echo "SELECTED";} ?> [/code] can anyone tell me how to incorporate these 2 snippets? Thanks Leigh
