assign database value as selected value in a drop down box

[Russia]

Hey guys, im trying to make a dropdown box get a selected value based on the value from multiple rows.

 

 

Here is what im trying to do:

 

<?php
// select the value from the database
// $value = ...

?>
<form action="...">
<option value="1"<?php if ($value == 1) { echo ' selected="selected"'; }  ?>>First</option>
<option value="2"<?php if ($value == 2) { echo ' selected="selected"'; }  ?>>Seccond</option>
<option value="3"<?php if ($value == 3) { echo ' selected="selected"'; }  ?>>Third</option>
<input type="submit">
</form>

The thing is I have no idea what to put at the top and how to assign the $value part.

 

 

Here is my current code.

<?php

mysql_connect("localhost", "", "")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("test")or die("cannot select DB");
$tbl_name="test_mysql";
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);

// MOVED this code to the top before you output anything

if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) {

    for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++){
        $month   = $_POST['month'];
        $date    = $_POST['date'];
        $message = $_POST['message'];
        $title   = $_POST['title'];
        $id      = $_POST['id'];
        $icon      = $_POST['icon'];         // ILYA
        $monthday= $month[$i]."<br>".$date[$i];
        $sql1="UPDATE $tbl_name 
                    SET monthday='$monthday', 
                        month='$month[$i]', 
                        date='$date[$i]', 
                        message='" . mysql_real_escape_string($message[$i]) . "', 
                        title='" . mysql_real_escape_string($title[$i]) . "',
                        icon='$icon[$i]'                        
                    WHERE id=".$id[$i];                        // ILYA

    if(!($result1 = mysql_query($sql1))){                   
        "<BR>Error UPDATING $tbl_name ";                              
        exit();                                             
        }                                                   
    }
}


$result=mysql_query($sql);
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);

?>

 

 

 

Here is the selection dropdown box im trying to make work:

 

<select name="icon[]" style="display:blolck; width:200px" class="mydds">
<option value="1" title="icon/icon_phone.gif">Phone</option>
<option value="2" title="icon/icon_sales.gif">Graph</option>
<option value="3" title="icon/icon_faq.gif">Faq</option>
</select>

 

 

The thing is, it gets multiple rows at once and I want to make it select each one differently based on the rows value.

 

I dont want it to like interfere.

 

 

Do you kinda know what I mean?

 

Also, heres hows the database looks like.

 

 

Picture of webpage.

 

 

 

 

Here is the full code if anyone would like to see:

<?php

mysql_connect("localhost", "", "")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("test")or die("cannot select DB");
$tbl_name="test_mysql";
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);

// MOVED this code to the top before you output anything

if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) {

    for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++){
        $month   = $_POST['month'];
        $date    = $_POST['date'];
        $message = $_POST['message'];
        $title   = $_POST['title'];
        $id      = $_POST['id'];
        $icon      = $_POST['icon'];         // ILYA
        $monthday= $month[$i]."<br>".$date[$i];
        $sql1="UPDATE $tbl_name 
                    SET monthday='$monthday', 
                        month='$month[$i]', 
                        date='$date[$i]', 
                        message='" . mysql_real_escape_string($message[$i]) . "', 
                        title='" . mysql_real_escape_string($title[$i]) . "',
                        icon='$icon[$i]'                        
                    WHERE id=".$id[$i];                        // ILYA

    if(!($result1 = mysql_query($sql1))){                   
        "<BR>Error UPDATING $tbl_name ";                              
        exit();                                             
        }                                                   
    }
