Keep selection of drop down from menu

Hi guys,

OK.

Im just working on a enquiry form submission script. When the form is submitted a php scripts checks for empty fields etc. If a empty field is found the for comes back and a error messages is displayed.

When the forms re-appears the fields which werent filled out correctly before stay filled in, simply putting setting the fields 'value' with the $_post variables.

Now this is ok but is there a way so if the users selects a choice from my drop menu the first time that this choice remains when the form re-appears if something else was found to be invalid ??

Hope I explained that ok ??

This is the form here if you want to look.

Couple of options... first is to use sessions (this is what I'd recommend).

Second is store form info in a table, flagging the info as "temporary".

Since your process_email.php form posts to itself for validation, you could just easily replace the method you use to output the select box with a small php routine that will flag whichever one was selected on the form entry as selected
