[PHP] selected option values not being captured by form processing software

[Nicole Lallande]

Hi,

Working on a code that uses a select/option field.  All my other fields
are passing through to the form processing software just fine.  Meloni's
PHP Essentials does this funky thing, declaring each function value as
selected or not although she shows it with the individual values not
with variable - and I don't understand why she is doing that - I don't
see it anywhere else.  What I do know is whether I try her if_else
selected method or without, my value is not being passed through http.   

echo "<td width=\"550\" align=\"left\"><select
name=\"select_product\">";
echo "<option value=\"\">Cat. ID No? Description  Pkg Size 
Price</option>";  
  
       while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
         $catid[] = $row["Cat_ID"];       
        }
       for ($i=0; $i < sizeof($catid); $i++) {
         $cat = $catid[$i];                 

         if($select_product =="cat") {
                echo "<option value=\"$cat\" selected>$cat</option>";
         } else {
                echo "<option value=\"$cat\">$cat</option>";
         }   

Thanks,

Nicole
