wrong <select> value when editing php form - php

Question

I really hope you can help me.
I've done a form, where I can opt if a client I'm adding to the database is "Active or "Inactive", using a dropdown select box.
My code saves all the data correctly to the datbase, but when I want to edit the client, the option displays always as "Active", ignoring the value from the database.
I have 2 files:
edita_clientes.php - the form where I can edit the clients values
salvar_edicao.php - the file that saves the edition.
Here are the codes:
edita_clientes.php:
<?php
#ini_set('display_errors', '1');
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$id = $_GET["id_cliente"];
settype($id, "integer");
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");
mysql_select_db("sistema");
$resultado = mysql_query("select * from tabela where id_cliente = $id");
$dados = mysql_fetch_array($resultado);
mysql_close();
?>

Answer 1

You need to add 'selected' to the option that you want to be selected, based on a value from the form/db. Here is an example using $value as the option value that you want selected.
<select class="form-control" name="estado" id="estado">
<option <?php echo $value == 'Ativo' ? selected : '' ?>>Ativo</option>
<option <?php echo $value == 'Inativo' ? selected : '' ?>>Inativo</option>
</select>
Also, your <select> tag does not require a 'value' element..

Answer 2

The HTML select element does not have a value attribute. For the select to do what you want you need to add the selected attribute to the option you want selected. It's always showing as 'Active' because that's the first option and it is the default.
The resulting post-php HTML will need to look something like this stripped back example for 'Inactive' to be selected.
<select>
<option>Active</option>
<option selected>Inactive</option>
</select>

Thank's for all the help!
The solution I've found was:
<?php
$resultado = mysql_query("select * from tabela where id_cliente = $id");
$dados = mysql_fetch_array($resultado);
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM estado");
?>
And the html part:
<select class="form-control" name="estado" id="estado">
<option selected="selected"><?php echo $dados["estado"];?></option>
<option value="Ativo">Ativo</option>
<option value="Inativo">Inativo</option>
</select>
