Code does not seem to work? - El Forum - 04-10-2008

[eluser]Tom Glover[/eluser]
I have a clients website, in which I need it to write a form from and array.

In the view file:

Code:
<select name="relayletter2" id="relayletter">

            &lt;? if (is_array($letters)){

                  foreach ($letters as $letter)

                 { 

                     if($letter === $selected)

                        {?&gt;

                        <option selected="selected" value="&lt;?=$letter?&gt;">&lt;?=$letter?&gt;</option>

                      &lt;?  }else{ ?&gt;

                           <option value="&lt;?=$letter?&gt;">&lt;?=$letter?&gt;</option>

                   &lt;?  }

                    }

                }?&gt;        

              </select>

The array that is passed to it:

Code:
$letters = array('a','b','c','d','e','...')

It is meant to compare that to what it is getting for the database, and when it finds a match it is meant to set the option selected.

At the Moment all options are selected.

Plus, can change this line

Code:
<option selected="selected" value="&lt;?=$letter?&gt;">&lt;?=$letter?&gt;</option>

Code:
<option selected="selected" value="&lt;?=$letter?&gt;">letter=&lt;?=$letter?&gt;, selected=&lt;?= $selected ?&gt;</option>

for further enlightenment.
