Question

I need to create a dropdownlist which has two values “OK” and “NOK” one should be selected by default based of an value of $Status. The user should than be able to change the selection or let the default one. How can i manage this? What i have tried:

<select name="Status">
  <option value="OK">OK selected="selected"</option>
  <option value="NOK">NOK</option>
</select>

Answer 1

<select>
  <option value="OK" <?php if($Status == "OK") echo 'selected="selected"';?>>OK</option>
  <option value="NOK" <?php if($Status == "NOK") echo 'selected="selected"';?>>NOK</option>
</select>

You can add an id and/or name attribute to the select as you like.
