I hope you understand:

It is too long to include here so I'll give you an idea.

file.B
-----------------------
<?php
$all_cats = "1, 2, 3";
function html_options($output, 
                                        $values = NULL,
                                        $selected = NOT_NULL,
                                        $first_option_output = false)
}
return($html_output);
}

echo"<select name=\"cat\" size=\"1\">";
//-cats
$cats = explode(',',$all_cats);
//--values
$cats_vals = explode(',',$all_cats);
print html_options($cats, $cats_vals, $selected, "--Select one--");
echo"</SELECT>";
?>
------------------------

file.A code:
<?php
$connect to db;
$get result;
$cat = $row["cat"];
$selected = "$cat"; 
-----------------------
include ("file.B");
-----------------------
done
?>
>From here on I get the menu with --select one-- option first then 1, 2,
3, but it ignores the fact the I told it $selected = "$cat". I figure it
has to do with including the function file instead of having the
function inside of "A". How can I call file.B from different files and
have it accept the variable $selected from such files?

Thaks in advance:
