If i didn't misunderstood the problem, maybe the following helps You: <? function dropdown( $data, $selected, $name, $size ) { $out = '<select name="'.$name.'" size="'.$size.'">'."\n"; while ( list( $value, $label ) = each( $data )) { $out .= "\t".'<option value="'.$value.'"'.( $selected == $value ? ' selected' : '').'>'.$label."\n"; } $out .= '</select>'; return $out; } ?> Now, for example, this little code ... <? $some_data = array( '0' => 'first', '1' => 'second', '2' => 'third' ); $selected_value = '1'; echo dropdown( $some_data, $selected_value, 'dropdown', 1 ); ?> ... will produce ... <select name="dropdown" size="1"> <option value="0">first <option value="1" selected>second <option value="2">third </select> -- Pavel a.k.a.
