Here is one way:
<?php $townsearch = $_GET['town']; ?>
<body>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="GET">
<select name="town">
<?php
$choices = array('ipswitch', 'bury');
foreach( $choices as $choice ) {
if( $choice == $townsearch ) {
printf("<option selected>%s</option>\n", $choice);
} else {
printf("<option>%s</option>\n", $choice);
}
}
?>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="GO" />
</form>
Here is another:
<?php $townsearch = $_GET['town']; ?>
<body>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="GET">
<select name="town">
<?php
$choices = array('ipswitch', 'bury');
foreach( $choices as $choice ) {
printf("<option %s>%s</option>\n", ($choice == $townsearch) ?
'selected' : '', $choice);
}
?>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="GO" />
</form>
