Having major issues with this simple task, and I cant work out why its
not doing as it should/expected.

Basically, ive got a drop down box with the added bit of php:


<select name="title" id="title">
<?php
if($_SESSION['title'] != "") {
echo '<option value="'. $_SESSION['title'] .'"
selected="selected"></option>';
}
else {
echo "<option value=\"\" selected></option>";
}
?>

<option>Mr</option>
<option>Mrs</option>
<option>Miss</option>
<option>Ms</option>
<option>Dr</option>
</select>


Basically, if the user submits a form, the title is stored in the
session, this works fine, and then when returned to the page, the value
should be filled in.

Yet, when they return to the page, there value they selected is not
shown in this box, instead, theres just a gap. The source seems
correct, and this is whats shown:

<select name="title" id="title">
<option value="Mr" selected="selected"></option>

so it is working like that, but still not showing anything.

Any ideas please?
