    <p>I'm still unclear on what exactly you're trying to accomplish. Your current code is only saving the last <code>'color-name'</code> and <code>'shape'</code> objects being read in from the file. It then can configure the <code>selected</code> option by making this change:</p> <pre><code>&lt;option value="red" &lt;?php if($color_name == 'red'){?&gt;selected="selected"&lt;?php }?&gt;&gt;Red&lt;/option&gt;; &lt;option value="blue" &lt;?php if($color_name == 'blue'){?&gt;selected="selected"&lt;?php }?&gt;&gt;Blue&lt;/option&gt;; &lt;option value="green" &lt;?php if($color_name == 'green'){?&gt;selected="selected"&lt;?php }?&gt;&gt;Green&lt;/option&gt;; &lt;option value="purple" &lt;?php if($color_name == 'purple'){?&gt;selected="selected"&lt;?php }?&gt;&gt;Purple&lt;/option&gt;; </code></pre> <p>NOTE: The way you're reading in the file appends carriage returns/line returns at the end of your variables...for example, <code>$color_name</code> on my end contains two extra hex values at the end of the string: <code>x0d</code> and <code>x0a</code></p> <p>EDIT #2: Try making your form like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form method="post" action="&lt;?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?&gt;"&gt; &lt;select id="color_choice"&gt; &lt;option id="round"&gt;Round&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option id="square"&gt;Square&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;script&gt; var option = document.getElementById("color_choice"); option.options['&lt;?php echo $shape ?&gt;'].selected = true; &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>I'm pretty sure this will work, changes I made were: <br /> 1) Using javascript instead of php to change selected <br /> 2) Using <code>id</code> attributes instead of <code>value</code> or <code>name</code> <br /> 3) Added <code>&lt;script&gt;</code> tag at the end of form (it may not work if it's before)<br /></p> <p>You'll have to make changes to the form and the script depending on what type of values you're pulling from the file...but you should be able to figure out how to handle that.</p>

    1. COI will try to clarify what I am trying to accomplish: The form edits the value in the color.props value, this works perfectly. I want the option value field to always reflect the actual (current) value in the color.props file. If I change it to "blue" the option value field on the form should say "blue". Currently the form field option just resets to the first value "red" no matter what the value is in the color.props file.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
