Hey audiopleb,
It's been a while since I've looked at this helper. I never really finished the select part of the function and solved it in a crude way for a select box that needed the current option selected (with preg_replace).
The problem I ran into was how to implement this, mainly because I might want to be able to different kinds of selecting. The best option I thought of, that I haven't implemented until now, was to have an array passed with values you might want selected. That array replaces instances of {SELECTED} with its values in your template where its key is found. It should also have a key "default" that has the default value for replacing when the replacement value is empty.
I think the replacement should probably happen after the alternation.
The array might look like this:
Code:
array(
'default' => 'selected="selected"',
'value="something"',
'value="nothing"' => 'disabled="disabled"',
'value="second_something"'
);
With which you would replace the {SELECTED} with true selections for the values "something" and "second_something" and disable the value "nothing".
I don't have time to write it now, maybe this weekend I might try it.
