Hi guys
Created a database and now I've done the pages for editing it.
This is what I have...
<tr><td>Which Voyage:</td><td><select name="voyage" COLS=100
ROWS=1
value="<?php echo $row["voyage"] ?>">
<option value="One voyage only">One voyage only</option>
<option value="First voyage">First voyage</option>
<option value="Second voyage">Second voyage</option>
<option value="Third voyage">Third voyage</option>
<option value="Fourth voyage">Fourth voyage</option>
<option value="Fifth voyage">Fifth voyage</option>
<option value="Sixth voyage">Sixth voyage</option>
<option value="Various voyages">Various voyages</option>
</select></td></tr>
When I get the record and open it for editing it automatically selects the
first option from the list.
I would like it to show the original value from the stored record.
Any ideas??....
