Dropdown Menus 'selected="selected"'

[Iain M]

As per my previous thread, I am making an edit page where users can edit multiple rows at once, I have the updating working.
I'm now stuck at getting it to show what option the user has selected, when they view the edit page again.

PHP Code:

    // Get list of countries for Country option
    $countryOptions = '';
    $getCountries = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "countries ORDER BY title ASC");    
    
    // Get user services
    $editServices = $vbulletin->db->query_read("
        SELECT *
        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "services
        WHERE userid = '" . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . "'
        ORDER BY id DESC
    ");

    while ($editService = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($editServices))
    {
        while($viewCountry = $db->fetch_array($getCountries))
        {
            // Check which Country is seleted
            $getChecked = $db->query_first("SELECT id, country FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "services WHERE country = " . $viewCountry['id'] . " AND id = " . $editService['id']);

            $optiontitle = $viewCountry['title'];
            $optionvalue = $viewCountry['id'];
            $optionselected = ($viewCountry['id'] == $getChecked['Country']) ? 'selected="selected"' : '';
            $optionclass = '';

            $countryOptions .= render_option_template($optiontitle, $optionvalue, $optionselected, $optionclass);
        }        
        // Register 'editservicebit' template variables
        $templater = vB_Template::create('editservicebit');
            $templater->register('id', $editService['id']);
            $templater->register('title', $editService['title']);
            $templater->register('description', $editService['description']);
            $templater->register('country', $editService['country']);
            $templater->register('free', $editService['free']);
            $templater->register('active', $editService['active']);
            $templater->register('countryOptions', $CountryOptions);
            $editservicebit .= $templater->render();
    } 


The code above only seems to be matching $viewCountry['id'] == $getChecked['Country'] on the first row from the editServices query, and applying selected="selected" to that country in each row, even when another country has been selected for that service. It isn't looping with while($viewCountry = $db->fetch_array($getCountries)). I had tried a foreach loop instead, and had got somewhere, but it still wasn't working, so I went back to the start to try again, but it feels like I'm banging my head against a brick wall, and going round in circles.

To help you understand what I mean, here's an example of the HTML output:

<td><select class="primary" name="country[3]" tabindex="1">
<option value="1" class="" >Australia</option> 
<option value="2" class="" >Canada</option> 
<option value="3" class="" selected="selected">New Zealand</option> 
<option value="4" class="" >United Kingdom</option> 
<option value="5" class="" >United States</option>
</select></td>
<td><select class="primary" name="country[2]" tabindex="1">
<option value="1" class="" >Australia</option> 
<option value="2" class="" >Canada</option> 
<option value="3" class="" selected="selected">New Zealand</option> 
<option value="4" class="" >United Kingdom</option> 
<option value="5" class="" >United States</option>
</select></td>

Can someone point me in the right direction again?


Cheers for your help!
