This is the one I use
$proveedores = consulta("SELECT * FROM proveedores ORDER BY Nombre");
while ($fila = mysql_fetch_assoc($proveedores))
$proveedores_list[$fila['id']]= $fila['Nombre'];
mysql_free_result($proveedores);
$proveedores_select = "<select name=\"provID\" id=\"provID\">\n\r<option value=\"\"></option>\n\r";
foreach ($proveedores_list as $key => $value)
{
if($art['provID']==$key)
$proveedores_select .= "<option value=\"$key\" selected=\"selected\">$value</option>\n\r";
else
$proveedores_select .= "<option value=\"$key\">$value</option>\n\r";
}
$proveedores_select .= "</select>\n\r";

This should do it.
<?php
echo '<select name="options">';
foreach(array("option1", "option2", "option3") as $i){
$select = ($_GET['options'] == $i) ? ' selected="selected"':'';
echo '<option value="'.$i.'"'.$select.'>'.$i.'</option>';
}
echo '</select>';

Not sure if you've figured it out by now... or maybe got it from somewhere else? But you can do this:
<?php
$selectedState = $_GET["state"]; // (your $_GET should be santized)
$states = array(
"AL" => "Alabama",
"AK" => "Alaska",
"AZ" => "Arizona",
"AR" => "Arkansas",
"CA" => "California",
etc...
);
$stateSelect = '<select>';
foreach ($states as $key => $value) {
$selected = ($key == $selectedState) ? ' selected="selected"' : '';
$stateSelect .= '<option value="' . $key . '"' . $selected . '>' . $value . '</option>';
}
$stateSelect .= '</select>';
echo $stateSelect;
?>
is there any way to shorten this?... im guessing id be pretty inconvenient if the select box had all fifty states... the thing is, i need it to end up as one variable, which in this case is $select_box
