Hi.

I'm working on an "edit" page where the pull down menu is populated from a
database.  I can't figure out how to print "selected" when that particular
record is the one associated with the current ID.  Can anyone help?

Here's my current code:

<!-- Dynamic Career Menu-->

<?php

include("common.inc");


$connection = @mysql_connect("$db_host","$db_user","$db_pass") or
die("Couldn't Connect.");
$db = @mysql_select_db($db_name, $connection) or die("Couldn't select
database.");


$sql ="SELECT job_id,category,description,job_id AS my_job_id FROM
$cat_table_name";
$result = @mysql_query($sql, $connection) or die("Error #". mysql_errno() .
": " . mysql_error());

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

$job_id=$row['job_id'];
$category=$row['category'];
$description=$row['description'];
$my_job_id=$row['my_job_id'];


echo "<option value=\"$job_id\" ";

        if ($job_id == '$my_job_id') {

                    echo " selected ";
                } 

echo " >$title</option>";


}

$num = @mysql_num_rows($result);


?>
<!-- /Dynamic Career Menu-->


This is about the 5th iteration of this menu I've been working on.  If
anyone has any ideas, please email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] as I am on the
digest.

Thanks,

mto
