How about building an array of all the levels:
$a = array();
for ($i = 1; $i <= $maxlevels; $i++)
$a[] = $i;
then for each level you can create a new array that is the difference
between the original array and an array that contains the current level:
for ($i = 1; $i <= $maxlevels; $i++)
$a1 = ;
echo '<option value="' . implode ('|', array_diff ($a, array($i))) .
'">Level ' . $i;
I'm not 100% that this will work right off the bat, but it should at
least put you on the right track... if not out of your misery :-)
Hope this helps.
