Best way to populate an edit form from a database

[eluser]123wesweat[/eluser]
@Travis, could you help me with a preselect select menu

$profile_data->bike returns a no or yes from the db

Code:

<select name="bike" id="bike">
<option value="no" &lt;?php echo preset_select('bike', 'no', FALSE, preset_select('bike', 'no', $profile_data->bike)); ?&gt; >no</option>
<option value="yes" &lt;?php echo preset_select('bike', 'yes', FALSE, preset_select('bike', 'yes', $profile_data->bike)); ?&gt; >yes</option>
</select>

but it doesn't preselect the right value??
