Re: Drop down list - persistant value

I am using PHP. I have a registration page where the user has to select his country form a drop down list. If the username that the user selected for himself exists in the database I am sending him back to the registration form with all the fields completed with the values he previously entered. This is easy to do for a textfield but how do I indicate on the drop down list which country he originally selected?

Set the attribute selected on the country, ie : <option value="12" selected="selected">United States</option> This is really a HTML question, not PHP related.
