I want my select box to retain data after submitting a form. The following is the code.
foreach ($data as $row) {
$selected = '';
if (isset($_SESSION['classes']) && !empty($_SESSION['classes'])) {
global $selected;
$sessions = $_SESSION['classes'];
$cls_val = $row['id'];
if ($sessions == $cls_val) {
$selected= "selected";
echo $selected;
}
}
$html.= '<option $selected value="'.$row['id'].'">'.Purifier($cls_full_data).'</option>';
}
echo '<select name="class_id" id="class_id" class="form-control form-control-sm font-label">'.$html.'</select>';
echo '<br>';
the code does not have any problems with showing the dropdown, however, I can't get the selected values after submit.
