I am outputting a selectbox and want to do the follwoing. How can I add the IF statement inside the the echo? for ($value = 0; $value <= 2000; $value += 100) { echo "<option value=\"$value\" if ($min_rent==$value) {echo selected="selected" }> $value</option>"; }

Just split it into multiple echo statments: for ($value = 0; $value <= 2000; $value += 100) { echo "<option value=\"$value\""; if ($min_rent==$value)

      echo " selected=\"selected\"";

echo "> $value</option>"; } Edward

Or use the ternary operator: for ($value = 0; $value <= 2000; $value += 100) { echo '<option value="'.$value.'" '.($min_rent==$value ? 'selected="selected"' : '').' > '.$value.'</option>'; }
