[Squid]

while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
{
$str .='<option value='.$row[0].'';
if ($row[0] == $UserID)
{
$str .='selected="selected"';
}
$str .= '>'.$row[1].'</option>';
}
echo $str;

My code is not working. I retrieved everything from the database. Let's say the drop down list has 10 values and UserID=4. But when I view the page, the 4th option is not selected. Instead the 1st option is selected. Why is that so?

from the first sight...

this is wrong:
$str .='selected="selected"';
it should be
$str .='selected';
becasue an selected option field looks like this:
<option value="mickey" selected>mouse</option>

Squid: The reason it is not selected is because you have not put any whitespace between the value attribute. So it would look like this:

<option value="value"selected="selected">

You just need to modify your code slightly:
$str .=' selected="selected"'; // note the white space

well... right :)
