this should do it for you.
$categoryarry = array(array("","none"),array("1","John"),array("2","Jim"));
foreach($categoryarray as $value) {
if($value[0] == $srch_cat) {
$cat_option .= "<option
value=\"$value[0]\"selected>$value[1]</option>\n";
} else {
$cat_option .= "<option value=\"$value[0]\">$value[1]</option>\n";
}
}

Subject: [PHP] two dimensional array or two arrays?
> I have some code I use to create pulldown menus. It's as follows;

> $categoryarry = array("","1","2","3","4","5");

> }
> }

> It works fine when the pulldown value and displayed text are the same, ie.
>
> <option value="John">John</option>
>
> But now I would like to change so the value is different then what's
> displayed in the menu, ie.
>
> <option value="1">John</option>
>
> I've never used two dimensional arrays but I thought it might be what I
need
