$ids = '1,2,3,4,5,6,7'; // This value represents the database value
$array_ids = explode( ',', $ids ); // This will give you an array with all
the id's
$amount = 10; // Amount of options
for ( $i = 0; $i < $amount; $i++ )
{
print '<option value=' . $i;
if ( in_array( $i, $array_ids ) ) // If the value is in the id's array,
then print selected
print ' selected';
print '>' . $i . '</option>';
}
