Best way to populate an edit form from a database

[eluser]Nexus Rex[/eluser]
@123wesweat - My example is using the Form Helper calls to create the form fields.

See here:

Try this:

Code:

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