If your options are dynamically created you could check the value passed
against each option are mark the match with "SELECTED";


Example Static:
Echo "<option value='5'"; If(isset($_GET['cat_id'])  && $_GET['cat_id'] ==
5){ echo ' SELECETED ';} echo " >5</option>".PHP_EOL;


Example Dynamic

for($a=1, $a <= 15; $a++)
{
Echo "<option value='".$a."' "; If(isset($_GET['cat_id']) && $_GET['cat_id']
== $a){ echo ' SELECETED ';} echo " > ".$a."</option>".PHP_EOL;
}


Just a though

Subject: [PHP] Customize link

Hello,

Here is the scenario....

I have a form with the folloing fields  i. Title  ii. Category (This  
is a drop down with a list of categories which have id's - am using  
wordpress )  iii. upload file field

now what i want to do is to be able to customize a link like
http://www.mysite.com/addfile&cat_id=5 
  so that when i access the link it has one of the categories in the  
drop down selected......reason is i dont want users to see the  
different types of categories....

So i guess my question is how to configure a meu item in a drop down  
to be automatically selected in a link...

Thanks
