here I have stupid question, hope you can help me.

I create a menu using Select element and option like this:

<option selected="selected">Select type...</option>
<option value="1">Doctor</option>
<option value="2">Patient</option>

and every time I need to pick one value from this menu and use the submit button next to it to transfer data.
But every time the page refreshed, this menu will reveal: Select type…
I want it to reveal the value I chose last time, but don’t know how.

Many thanks in advance!!

    You’ll want to move that selected=”selected” onto the selected option.

    Doing so in PHP isn’t too rough. Just check the $_POST or $_GET (however you sent the form) value for your select box, such as $_POST[“selectBox”] for each value down the list. When you find a match, echo out the selected=”selected” string there. If the value was empty, output it on your default value.
