First of all, this form doesn't have a method or action attribute -- so 
I'm not sure which script you intend to call with it, or what HTTP 
protocol you intend to pass the data with.  But assuming it's the POST 
method and the action is PHP_SELF, and that you are using PHP 4.1.x or 
greater:

// perform a test to see which should be selected
if ($_POST['display'] == 'true') {
   $select_if_true = "selected=\"yes\"";
   $select_if_false = "selected=\"no\"";
} elseif ($_POST['display'] == 'false') {
   $select_if_true = "selected=\"no\"";
   $select_if_false = "selected=\"yes\"";
}

// create the form, including the above-defined variables
$form_html = "

   
 Display
 Don't Display
   
";

// print the form
print $form_html;

Still doesn't work.  What gives?

The contents of $display are a string so you must have quotes
aroud it in the comparison statement.

if ($display == 'false') // should work.

Alternatively you could do.


True
False


Now the contents of $display is an integer which will can be
interpreted
as a boolean value (true or false).  Then you can compare it like you
had.

if ($display == false)

Whoops!  Still won't work but that code should read:

echo "";
echo "";
echo "Display";
echo "Don't Display";
echo "";
echo "";

>>> ROBERT MCPEAK 03/20/02 04:20PM >>>
I'd like to determine the selected option in a select list based on a
passed variable.  The code below won't work, but I can't figure out
why.
 Any guesses?


echo "";
echo "";
echo "Display";
echo "Don't Display";
echo "";
echo "";


Thanks!
