heh Ross, hope you see this, my SMTP server kept saying you address was bogus

Keeps the value of $subject that was previously entered in the
textarea even after the form is submitted with php_self(). Is this
possible with the listbox??
select name=selectBox
option value=someOption?php if($_GET['selectBox'] ==
'someOption') { ? selected?php } ?Some Option/option
/select
a slightly shorter form:
select name=selectBox
option value=someOption?= ($_GET['selectBox'] == 'someOption') ? 'selected' : '';
?Some Option/option
/select
but that still is not very satisfying - you have to write out that whole line
for each option you create - better to incorporate the login into a loop that
processes
an associative array of 'options' so that you never (well not tomorrow anyway!)
have to write it again...e.g:
function makeOptions($name, $opts = array(), $selected = null)
{
$selTpl = 'select name=%s%s/select';
$optTpl = 'option value=%s %s%s/option';
$output = array();
foreach($opts as $k = $v) {
$s = $selected ($k == $selected) ? 'selected=selected' :
'';
$output[] = sprintf($optTpl, $k, $s, $v);
}
return sprintf($selTpl, $name, join($output));
}
...untested, but hopefully it gives you some ideas.
Alter to suit your needs, of course.
