For a month selector, using a loop to output the months is good, as you can then within the loop check for that value sent and set the selected html attribute for that select element.
I should warn you that your code will throw a warning when no data has been posted to it. Consider using isset() instead to check for posted values rather than comparing a value (which might not exist) with true.

Sticky form submit help To: "PHP-General list" <php-general@lists.php.net> Hey everyone! Hope you are having a great weekend, and I'm hoping someone might be coherent enough to help me find a more elegant solution to a problem that I have... I have a form for submitting an event to a website, and if the form is not submitted successfully (such as they didn't fill out a required field) I want it to redisplay the form with inline errors as to what happened and display the values they selected... I have a working solution but was hoping for something a little more elegant. And something that would work better for a month selector as well... Here is the relevant code that I have that works: <?PHP if ($_POST['hidSubmit'] ==TRUE & $_POST['type'] == "meeting"): echo <<<HTML <select name="type" id="type"> <option value="0">-- select type --</option> <option value="meeting" selected>Meeting</option> <option value="event" >Event</option> </select> HTML; elseif ($_POST['hidSubmit'] == TRUE & $_POST['type'] == "event"): //if ($_POST['hidSubmit'] == TRUE & $_POST['type'] == "event") { echo <<<HTML <select name="type" id="type"> <option value="0">-- select type --</option> <option value="meeting">Meeting</option> <option value="event" selected>Event</option> </select> HTML; else: //if ($_POST['hidSubmit'] != TRUE): echo <<<HTML <select name="type" id="type"> <option value="0" selected>-- select type --</option> <option value="meeting">Meeting</option> <option value="event">Event</option> </select> HTML; endif; ?> which works BUT I don't want to have to have that for a month selector or a day selector :) Any ideas what I'm missing? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
