$selected = array();
$selected[$priority] = 'selected';
$pstr .= '<option value="000" '.$selected['000'].'>High'."\n";
$pstr .= '<option value="050" '.$selected['050'].'>Medium'."\n";
$pstr .= '<option value="100" '.$selected['100'].'>Low'."\n";
Is one way of doing that sort of thing, the example below looks a bit
difficult to read, but that may just be me seeing as I never use the ternary
operator. This solution can also be easily be written as a lopp. I didn't do
anything with your $fcol, but that can be solved in a simliar fashion...
