Would this be the proper way to add a default value to a drop down menu it HTML?
$vendor_name is determine by a query to get an array of results; that is iterated through to create table rows in HTML. So this value changes dependent on the iteration.
<option value='$vendor_name'>$vendor_name</option>";
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<option value='".$row['vendor_id']."'>".$row['name']."</option>";
}
When I attempt this it shows the default value; however, the table that is being created here is used to update an SQL table. If i change any other value in the row related to the $vendor_name without changing the $vendor_name it will not update. Is this because I set the default value?
