Check if the variable has been posted and echo the value like below on the
first option line is how I do it. This will put two options with the same
value in the select box and the first will be selected.
<? if(isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["variable"])) echo '<option
value="'.$HTTP_POST_VARS["variable"].'"
selected>'.$HTTP_POST_VARS["variable"].'</option>'; ?>
or add to each option: if ($HTTP_POST_VARS["variable"] == 'option
value')echo 'selected';
example:
<option value="value" <?if ($HTTP_POST_VARS["variable"] == 'option
value')echo 'selected'; ?>>some text</option>
