Okay let me take another hack at one of your questions and maybe I won't
screw up this time. ;-)
PHP has no functional control over the HTML content. You could make it
easier on yourself by writing a function that outputs 'selected' or null
instead of coding a separate conditional for each form element, but other
than that this is the only way to do it.
