[PHP] Remembering which option in a SELECT tag the user had chosen

[Webapprentice]

Hi,
I have a SELECT on a web form.

<select name="TimeChoice">
<option value="Friday August 22, 04:00 PM - 06:00 PM">Friday August 22, 04:00 PM - 06:00 PM</option>
<option value="Friday August 22, 06:00 PM - 08:00 PM">Friday August 22, 06:00 PM - 08:00 PM</option>
<option value="Friday August 22, 08:00 PM - 10:00 PM">Friday August 22, 08:00 PM - 10:00 PM</option>
<option value="Friday August 22, 10:00 PM - 12:00 AM">Friday August 22, 10:00 PM - 12:00 AM</option>
<option value="Saturday August 23, 12:00 AM - 02:00 AM">Saturday August 23, 12:00 AM - 02:00 AM</option>
<option value="Saturday August 23, 12:00 PM - 02:00 PM">Saturday August 23, 12:00 PM - 02:00 PM</option>
<option value="Saturday August 23, 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM">Saturday August 23, 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM</option>
<option value="Saturday August 23, 04:00 PM - 06:00 PM">Saturday August 23, 04:00 PM - 06:00 PM</option>
<option value="Saturday August 23, 06:00 PM - 08:00 PM">Saturday August 23, 06:00 PM - 08:00 PM</option>
<option value="Saturday August 23, 08:00 PM - 10:00 PM">Saturday August 23, 08:00 PM - 10:00 PM</option>
<option value="Saturday August 23, 10:00 PM - 12:00 AM">Saturday August 23, 10:00 PM - 12:00 AM</option>
<option value="Sunday August 24, 12:00 AM - 02:00 AM">Sunday August 24, 12:00 AM - 02:00 AM</option>
<option value="Sunday August 24, 12:00 PM - 02:00 PM">Sunday August 24, 12:00 PM - 02:00 PM</option>
<option value="Sunday August 24, 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM">Sunday August 24, 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM</option>
</select>

Only one option may be chosen

When I submit this form, there could be errors. When I have errors, I wish to reprint the form with the user's values remembered. In the reprinted SELECT tag, one of the OPTION tags will now have a SELECTED attribute. Is there any elegant way to insert the SELECTED attribute on the right option?

Thanks,
Stephen
