you have to build the <option> tags in PHP such as:
$states = array("AK" => "AK", "AL" =>"AL", ...);
while (list($key, $state) = each($states)) // iterates over $states array
{
printf("<option value='%s' %s>%s</option>", $key, ($key ==
$user_state?'selected':''), $state);
//user_state equals to the key of state currently printed out then append
'selected' attribute to the option tag
}
