what I keep running into is that I need a way for when they edit a field

the drop-down list of choices is automatically set for the right now.
I have 100+ counties in one list, but I don't want to write 100+ if
statements
for checking to see if the value of $county equals the value of the field

drop down choice.
Anyone have some quick solutions?
I have radio buttons as well, but going to use a drop-down list for the

pages to make it all simple.
Hi Robert,
As a suggestion, why not put your counties in an array (are you taking them
from a recordset? If so, same idea applies) and use foreach() to iterate
through the array, building the select list. When $county equals the current
value of the array, include " SELECTED" in the select HTML you are building.
One if statement should handle the situation nicely.
Much warmth,
Murray @ PlanetThoughtful

Here is an example of what Murray suggested. $sort_options is an array [list]of
counties in your case.
$report .=
"<div style=\"font-weight:bold; margin-top:2em\">Sort the index by:
<select name=\"sort_by\">\n";
$sort_by= foo;
foreach($sort_options as $option=> $label){
$sel=($option== $sort_by)? 'SELECTED' : '';
$report .= "<option value=\"$option\" $sel>$label</option>\n";
}//end foreach
$report .= "</select>\n";
