Question

In user edit module have a dropdown in which i show options from database.
Now i select a value from dropdown and want to set it as selected.
SO next time when i edit user i can see which was the last value selected.
When i edit a user i select some value from dropdown, and then save the record back to database. Next time when i open that record i want the option i selected last time to be shown selected.
I tried this :
<tr>
<td>Base INI File</td>
<?php
if(isset($_GET['id']))
{
$id=$_GET['id'];
btn_edit_file($id);
}
?>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<td>
<select required name="base_ini_id" id="base_ini_id" class="form-control">
<option value="">Select</option>
<?php foreach($base as $value) { ?>
<option id="emp" class="specialLink" value="<?php echo $value->id;?>"><?php echo $value->base_ini_filename;
if($value->id == $value->base_ini_filename){echo "selected='selected'";} ?> </option>
<?php } ?>
</select>
</td>
<td>
<?php echo btn_edit('customer/upload_ini/edit_ini_custom/'); ?>
</td>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#base_ini_id').change(function() {
var id = $("#base_ini_id").val();
var url = "/bizrtc/customer/upload_ini/edit_ini_custom/";
$("#edit_link").attr("href",url+ id);
$("#edit_link").attr("target","_blank");
});
});
</script>
</tr>

Answer 1

do this :
<select required name="base_ini_id" id="base_ini_id" class="form-control">
<option value="">Select</option>
<?php foreach($base as $value)
{
?>
<option id="emp" class="specialLink" value="<?php echo $value->id;?>"
<?php if($value->id == $user->base_ini_id){echo "selected";} ?>>
<?php echo $value->base_ini_filename;?></option>
<?php } ?>
</select>

Answer 2

Try below code:
<select required name="base_ini_id" id="base_ini_id" class="form-control">
<option value="">Select</option>
<?php foreach($base as $value) { ?>
<option id="emp" class="specialLink" value="<?php echo $value->id;?>" <?php if($value->id == $value->base_ini_filename){echo "selected='selected'";} ?> >
<?php echo $value->base_ini_filename; ?>
</option>
<?php } ?>
</select>
Aside from the incorrect closing tag in HTML, I also would like to note that you might want to double check your condition:
if($value->id == $value->base_ini_filename)
Seems like you are comparing very different thing

Answer 3

where is the user saved value ?
first you should get the user saved value into one variable
you option tag should look like below
<option id="emp" class="specialLink" value="<?php echo $value->id;?>">
<?php
if($value->id == $usersavedvalue){echo "selected='selected'";} ?> ><?php echo $value->base_ini_filename; ?> </option>
