Getting PHP to ammended the selected in option field

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hey Guys

thanks for everyones help so far. This site and its users are oozing awesomness.

I am busy with a php script for editing users, of which 1 field is the TITLE of the person (mrs, miss, ms) and it is displayed as a dropdown box. I have written the code which allows you to get the values in the fields for the rest of the fields, but I am not sure how to get PHP to change the actual selected dropdown box. The only thing I can think of is to have a if else statement for each option in the select dropdown, but I assume that when someone has a lot of options in their SELECT dropdown, it will be a lot of work and I am sure someone knows the trick behind this

Any suggestions?
