Retaining listbox selections in PHP?

+1 vote
209 views

I have a listbox and when the user selects items they are highlighted. Then I process the form and when I generate the next web page (which has the listbox) I want the selected items still to be highlighted. Can I do this from PHP when I generate the listbox or must that be done client side from javascript?

This is pretty basic HTML. Simply add the attribute selected="selected" to the option tag you want to be selected. You could do it in Javascript, but since you already have PHP generating the form you might as well do it there.
