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.
