Saving a userfield Select that allows user's own value using set_userfields()

[pinoymed]

Hi, I'm currently creating a custom page where users may be able to edit their own informations including custom fields like first name, user type, gender, etc... Thanks to a tutorial I found in this forum, it was making a good progress, the problem is in the part where the information input comes from a drop down box with "Allow user to input their own value for this option", how will i save the data if the user opted to input his own value?

here is an example of my code in saving the edited fields, field33 is the field im describing.

$userfield_arr = array(
'field32' => $field32,
'field6' => $field6,
'field8' => $field8,
'field7' => $field7,
'field33' => $field33
);

$dataman->set_userfields($userfield_arr,false,'normal');

I'm not sure I follow everything you're saying, but it seems to me that in general there's an <input> or <select> tag for each field, but for what you describe you will need a <select> and an <input type="text"> for field33, and they should have different names. Then you can have your code check both and choose which one to save as field33.
