Is there a better way to write the following snippet:
if ($priority == "000") {
$fcol="high";
$pstr .= "<option value=\"000\" selected>High\n";
$pstr .= "<option value=\"050\">Medium\n";
$pstr .= "<option value=\"100\">Low\n";
} elseif ($priority == "050") {
$fcol="med";
$pstr .= "<option value=\"000\">High\n";
$pstr .= "<option value=\"050\" selected>Medium\n";
$pstr .= "<option value=\"100\">Low\n";
} else {
$fcol="low";
$pstr .= "<option value=\"000\">High\n";
$pstr .= "<option value=\"050\">Medium\n";
$pstr .= "<option value=\"100\" selected>Low\n";
}
I just hate having to repeat pieces of code. This piece here just
generates a drop down list of items, with the current one being the
selected one.
