Question

I have a form that looks like this:

$guests = 2; // Just for testing
$form = 'Guests<br /><select name="guests">
             <option value="0">0</option>
             <option value="1">1</option>
             <option value="2">2</option>
             <option value="3">3</option>
             <option value="4">4</option>
             <option value="5">5</option>
             <option value="6">6</option>
             <option value="7">7</option>
             <option value="8">8</option>
             <option value="9">9</option>
             </select>';

But the list of guests can be up to 100, so I probably shouldn’t do a check for which value is selected manually.

What would be a good way for me to make the selected value become the selected value when the user sees this form?

Thanks!

Answer 1

$guests = 2; // Just for testing
$form = 'Guests<br /><select name="guests">';

for($i = 0; $i <= 100; $i++)
    $form .= "<option value='$i'{$guest == $i ? ' selected=\'selected\'' : ''}>$i</option>";

$form .= '</select>';

EDIT: $i < 101 was pretty lame…
