this will handle select lists

<?

$myOptions=array();
$myOptions['color1']='blue';
$myOptions['color2']='red';

?>

<select name="optList">
<option value="">Pick one</option>
<? displayOptionList($myOptions,"optList"); ?>
</select>

<?

function displayOptionList($options,$inputName){

if($_POST)
{
foreach($options as $key=>$value)
{
if($_POST["$inputName"]==$key)
{ echo "<option value=\"$key\" selected>$value</option>";
}
else
{ echo "<option value=\"$key\">$value</option>";
}
}
}
else
{
foreach($options as $key=>$value)
{ echo "<option value=\"$key\">$value</option>";
}
}
}

?>
