Preset currency value on select codeigniter - php

Question

I have a select box with currency 1 and 2, currency 1 is for Euro. I want my select box to preset the value 1 which is euro.
I am using controller to get the currency information like this.
$data = array(
'sexList' => $this->localization->getTextParamValues(null, 'user', 'Sex'),
'countryList' => $this->localization->getCountryList(),
'currencyList' => $this->localization->getCurrencyList(),
'languageList' => $this->localization->getLanguageList(),
'user' => $userExist,
'userinfo' => $this->user_profile->getUserInfo(),
'Currency' => $this->localization->getCompanyCurrency()
);
$this->load->view('header', $this->history->getPreviousPageInArray());
$this->load->view('borrow_registerpage_view',$data);
The currency is pushing the value one to the data array, but in the html file it doesnt preset automatically. Dont know what is wrong.
Here is the HTML code, I need to preset the value 1 in this table so it selects 1 normally which is EURO.
<?php
echo '<select name="currency_select" id="my_profile_select_currency" class="form-control country_style">';
if(!($user['Currency'] > 0)){
echo '<option value="0">'.lang("myprofile_pinfo_no_currency_set").'</option>';
foreach ($currencyList as $currency){
echo '<option value="' . $currency->ID. '">' . $currency->Name . '</option>';
}
}else{
foreach ($currencyList as $currency){
echo '<option value="' . $currency->ID. '"';
if($currency->ID==$user['Currency']){
echo 'selected';
}
echo '>' . $currency->Name .'';
echo '</option>';
}
}
echo '</select>'
?>

Answer 1

You Need to change your view
$opt = array();
foreach ($currencyList as $currency){
$opt[$currency->ID] = $currency->Name;
}
echo form_dropdown('currency_select', $opt, set_value('currency_select', $user['Currency'], 'id="my_profile_select_currency" class="form-control country_style"');

Answer 2

Try this. It will show EURO selected only if $user['Currency'] is greater than 0
<?php
echo '<select name="currency_select" id="my_profile_select_currency" class="form-control country_style">';
if(!($user['Currency'] > 0)){
echo '<option value="0">'.lang("myprofile_pinfo_no_currency_set").'</option>';
foreach ($currencyList as $currency){
echo '<option value="' . $currency->ID. '">' . $currency->Name . '</option>';
}
}else{
foreach ($currencyList as $currency){
echo '<option value="' . $currency->ID. '" '.$currency->Name == 'EURO' ? 'selected="yes"' : ''.'>' .$currency->Name. '</option>';
}
}
echo '</select>'
?>
If you need in both case you may use $currency->Name == 'EURO' ? 'selected="yes"' : '' in both foreach
