List/Menu Box

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

On an edit page when you want something to select what a user has previously selected from the database, how would you do this for a List/Menu box? The only way I know how is
Code: <?php echo $sel_subject['house_price']; ?>
This is what I have

Code: <select name="propType" />
<?php echo $sel_subject['propType']; ?>
<option></option>
<option>House</option>
<option>Bungalow</option>
<option>Flat</option>
<option>Detached</option>
<option>Semi Detached</option>
<option>Terraced</option>
</select>

Also is it wrong to leave all the options on this page?
