well, in your first IF clause, you refer to my_type without the $.
For the else clause, you are outputting HTML while still inside
the PHP block.
try one of these:
} else {
?>
<select tabindex=13 name="my_type">
<option value="0" selected>Select a Value</option> <option
value="one">One</option>
<option value="two">Two</option>
<option value="three">Three</option>
</select>
<?php
}
or
} else {
print<<<EOF
<select tabindex=13 name="my_type">
<option value="0" selected>Select a Value</option> <option
value="one">One</option>
<option value="two">Two</option>
<option value="three">Three</option>
</select>
EOF;
}
hope that helps,
