echo select in loop with internal if

This seems to work but just wanted to check its validity, or maybe a better way.

while started

PHP Code:


		
			


 echo "<option value='$val_name' if(selected='selected'){selected};>$val_val</option>";

while end

thanks

I'm not quite sure how what ou posed would have worked.
It would need to look something like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
echo "<option value='$val_name'" . ($selected == 'selected' ? 'selected=\'selected\'' : '') . ">$val_val</option>";
