hi :)

i am creating a webpage. i use a combo box to let user
choose which folder they want.
after they choose, it will be saved into the database.

the next time they load this page, it will retrieve
the data from database and appear at the combo box.
i already done that.
but now the problem is....the data that i retrieve
from the database will same with the options in the
combo box.
so, it will become 2 same options. i am afraid this
will confuse the user. so i want to fix it.

if u dont understand what i mean, try look at the
picture  & coding below:

folder: husband
          friend
          family 
          boss
          husband

this is the code:


<select size="1" name="groupMailbox1"> 
<option><?php echo $row["groupMailbox1"]; ?></option>
<?php 
                //Open Directory you want to include 
                //$base='/home/a/mail';
                $handel = opendir($base); 
                //Get contents of the directory 
                while (false !== ($file =
readdir($handel))) { 
                        if (is_dir($base . "/" .
$file) && ($file !== ".") && ($file !== "..")) { 
                        list($filename, $ext) =
explode(".", $file); 
                        list($main, $sub, $include) =
explode("/", $PHP_SELF); 
                echo "<option value=\"$file\""; //Echo
the file name in a combo box 
                        if ($inc==$file) echo "
selected";  
                        echo">$file</option>\n"; 
                        echo $file; 
                        } 
                } 
        ?>
</select><p></p>

how to make it so that the data that we retrieve from
database, if same with the options we have, we only
need to make that option selected?

thanks :)
