A value is > stored for a record in the DB which had been previously assigned through a #get all the possible options into an array $options $options = array('red', 'yellow', 'green'); #get the selected option into a variable $option $option = 'yellow'; echo "<SELECT>\n"; while (list(,$opt) = each($options)){ $selected = ($opt == $option) ? 'SELECTED' : ''; echo "<OPTION $opt $selected>$opt</OPTION>\n"; } echo "</SELECT>\n"; Twist on a theme: If you can have a pre-determined order, you can have this work with multiple selections, but only advancing the selected array (or result set or whatever) when you have a match.
