Populate dropdown from database and set default value - php

Question

Right now I have a working solution for populating an HTML <select>/<option>-dropdown with the content through PHP/MYSQLI from my database: listoption.
The database:
DATABASE NAME:
# listoption
TABLES:
# ID INT(11) *Primary AI
# listoption_item VARCHAR(255)
Here's the other code (not the mysqli connect but everything afterwards..)
<?php
$result = $mysqli->query("select * from listoption");
echo "<select id='list' name='list'>";
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$listoption_item = $row['listoption_item'];
echo '<option value="'.$listoption_item.'">'.$listoption_item.'</option>';
}
echo "</select>";
?>
But the problem is now that I want to have one of these options that are populated through that query to be selected. And the option to be selected should be determed by a parameter in the URL, for example: index.php?id=1.
So now I need to somehow add a IF/ELSE and a $_GET['id']; into the code to make it identify if the ID from the database is the same as the populated item and then set it to selected.
Any idéas? Thanks!

Answer 1

You can do that like given below:
<?php
$result = $mysqli->query("select * from listoption");
$id = ($_GET['id'])? $_GET['id'] : '';
echo "<select id='list' name='list'>";
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$listoption_item = $row['listoption_item'];
$sel = ($id == $row['id'])? 'selected="selected"':'';
echo '<option value="'.$listoption_item.'" '.$sel.'>'.$listoption_item.'</option>'; // $sel will deside when to set `selected`
}
echo "</select>";
?>

You can rewrite the code as follows:
<?php
$id = $_GET['id'];
$select = "";
$result = $mysqli->query("select * from listoption");
echo "<select id='list' name='list'>";
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$row_id = $row['ID'];
if($row_id == $id){
$select = "selected";
}
$listoption_item = $row['listoption_item'];
echo '<option value="'.$listoption_item.'" selected="'.$select.'">'.$listoption_item.'</option>';
}
echo "</select>";
?>

Answer 3

Use the following code:-
<?php
$selectedId = isset($_GET['id'])?$_GET['id']:0;
$result = $mysqli->query("select * from listoption");
echo "<select id='list' name='list'>";
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$listoption_item = $row['listoption_item'];
echo '<option value="'.$listoption_item.' .(($selectedId>0)?:" selected ":"").'">'.$listoption_item.'</option>';
}
echo "</select>";
?>
