Robert,
Murray's suggestion is good. Here is some code to produce the current value of 'county' in a select list:
<!-- START of counties.php -->
<?php $_REQUEST['county'] = !isset($_REQUEST['county'])? NULL:$_REQUEST['county']; // initialize or capture ?>
<select name="county">
<option value="<?php echo $_REQUEST['county'];?>" SELECTED><?php echo $_REQUEST['county'];?></option>
<!-- Add, remove or change any of the select option items below: -->
<option value="Aberdeenshire">Aberdeenshire</option>
<option value="Angus">Angus</option>
<option value="Argyll & Bute">Argyll & Bute</option>
<option value="Avon">Avon</option>
<option value="Ayrshire">Ayrshire</option>
<option value="Bedfordshire">Bedfordshire</option>
<option value="Berkshire">Berkshire</option>
<option value="Borders">Borders</option>
<option value="Western Isles">Western Isles</option>
</select>
<!-- END of counties.php -->
Here's a basic select list article:
