Set select problem after form validation

[eluser]gtech[/eluser]
this is the set_select in the validation code

Code:

function set_select($field = '', $value = '')
    {
        if ($field == '' OR $value == '' OR  ! isset($_POST[$field]))
        {
            return '';
        }
            
        if ($_POST[$field] == $value)
        {
            return ' selected="selected"';
        }
    }

so quick check when the form is displayed, view source on the browser and see if you get the ' selected="selected" ' appear in your desired option. If not you could just echo $_POST['BirthYear'] on the form page and see what it is set to, it might help you debug the problem.
