Okay im not sure i understand you- you want to create a page where it will
suck an item out of a database, and use it to choose which item in a drop
down menu should be selected?
If so, you can try something like
select name=catagory
option value=0?php if ($catagory == 0) {echo selected};
?Action/option
option value=1?php if ($catagory == 1) {echo selected};
?Comedy/option
option value=2?php if ($catagory == 2) {echo selected};
?Etc./option
/select

Hi!
I have a site with all my movies and stuff stored in a database. And I have
made a admin page where I can add, delete and update records. When I add
new records, I have made a listbox for the category (ex. action, comedy
etc.) so I dont have to write it every time I add a new record. But when I
push the update button and the data thats stored in the database is printed
its printed just in a textarea. I know its possible to list the data in a
listbox, but how do I get the right category selected for the movie I
choose?
Best regards Raymond
