Group,
I have several drop down boxes that I'd like to repopulate with the value
the user selected -- after the form posts by calling itself -- these fields
are blanked out. I am having difficulty getting the drop downs to repopulate
with the values the user's selected. If any of you have implemented this
before, how have you done this and what is the syntax?
Thanks,

This is pure HTML.
Option 2 is set:
<option value="1"></option>
<option value="2" selected='selec ted'></option>
<option value="3"></option>

Here is some sample code that should get you going:
<?php
/* this is the form handling code */
$myselect = '';
if ( isset( $_POST['myselect'] ) ) { $myselect = $_POST['myselect'] ; }
if ( isset( $_GET['myselect'] ) ) { $myselect = $_GET['myselect'] ; }
?>

<form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" name="myform" id="myform" method="GET">

<option value="1" <?php print ($myselect==1) ? 'SELECTED' : ''; ?>>option1</option>
<option value="2" <?php print ($myselect==2) ? 'SELECTED' : ''; ?>>option2</option>
</select>
<input type="submit">

</body>
</html>

Thanks,
Use a select box like following:
[HTML]
<select name="mySelect" >
<option value="1" <?=$mySelectOpt ion['1']?>>option1</option>
<option value="2" <?=$mySelectOpt ion['2']?>>option2</option>
<option value="3" <?=$mySelectOpt ion['3']?>>option3</option>
<option value="4" <?=$mySelectOpt ion['4']?>>option4</option>
<option value="5" <?=$mySelectOpt ion['5']?>>option5</option>
<option value="6" <?=$mySelectOpt ion['6']?>>option6</option>
</select>
[/HTML]
And code your PHP like following:
[PHP]
$mySelectOption['1'] =
$mySelectOption['2'] =
$mySelectOption['3'] =
$mySelectOption['4'] =
$mySelectOption['5'] =
$mySelectOption['6'] = '';
if(!empty($_REQ UEST['mySelect']))
$mySelectOption[$_REQUEST['mySelect']] = 'selected';
else
$mySelectOption[1] = 'selected'; // Default selected, for first time
[/PHP]
This is just a possible way to achieve this.
Another method will be output your Select box in a loop and check for
selected condition, and ouput the *selected* text when necessary.

That's because it is an HTML reply post, which your newsreader apparently
does not understand. That is the reason HTML posts on usenet are discouraged.

Personally I like to do this:

<option value="1" <?=$selected[1]?>>Item 1</option>
<option value="2" <?=$selected[2]?>>Item 2</option>

page has a number of text boxes and drop down's for parameter selection, a

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
