RE: [PHP] to select or not to select...

I wrote something like this long ago. It is tough to find it now in my libraries but the idea was : go to the source of where these fields are coming from then make an array and loop them checking for what is selected assigning it's properties. It is all in a funcion($source) or you can make it be a class if you wish. I don't think it was a pain to write.

Hey all, Can an anyone suggest a better way to do the the following? <select name="foo"> <?php if ( $sel == "bar" ) { ?> <option value="bar" selected>bar</option> <?php } else { ?> <option value="bar">bar</option> <?php } ?> As you can see I am choosing what option is selected in a list/menu the above example works fine until you have lots of options then it is a nightmare, I have tried a few things to no avail does anyone know a cleaner/simpler way of doing this?
