Re: New way to make select boxes auto select

Let me know if you like that method or have any objections. Since I'm always looping through choices in my database, and not hard-coded values, it's really no trouble to do: while ($id = ...){ $selected = $id == $previously_selected_id ? 'SELECTED' : ''; echo "<OPTION VALUE=$id $selected>...</OPTION>\n"; } If I *really* want hard-coded options, I'll just put them in an array and do the above. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm I'm looking for a PRO QUALITY two-input sound card supported by Linux (any major distro). Need to record live events (mixed already) to stereo CD-quality. Soundcard Recommendations? Software to handle the recording? Don't need fancy mixer stuff. Zero (0) post-production time. Just raw PCM/WAV/AIFF 16+ bit, 44.1KHz, Stereo audio-to-disk.
