On my page I have a dropdown menu with a list of countries, this is a page for users to update their address details so I would like to have the “selected” value when they visit the page set to what the entered upon signup.

I have 

<option value="254" >Afghanistan</option><option value="255" >Albania</option>

Etc as my HTML markup and in the database the user’s country is stored as the code like in the markup.

Normally this would be simple but as it is such a vast list of countries I can’t write php code in each one manually.

Thanks

    If you are using PHP to create the drop-down, simply insert the “select” test into the loop. (If you aren’t, then you might want to – create an array of country vals or get from DB and create the options with a PHP loop.)
