default selecting form options

[SM777]

I have a form in a php page

<select name=&quot;day&quot;>
<option value=&quot;Mon&quot;>Monday</option>
.
.
.
<option value=&quot;Sun&quot;>Sunday</option>

What I want to do is to make todays day the default. So that if today is Sunday then the last line would become:

<option value=&quot;Sun&quot; selected>Sunday</option>

How do I do this?

this should work
-------------------------
<?php

$nowday = date(&quot;D&quot;

$weekdays=array('Sun','Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat');
echo &quot;<select>\n&quot;;
foreach ($weekdays as $w_day){
if ($nowday == $w_day){
echo &quot;<option \&quot;$w_day\&quot; selected>$w_day</option>\n&quot;;
}else{
echo &quot;<option \&quot;$w_day\&quot;>$w_day</option>\n&quot;;
}

}
echo &quot;</select>\n&quot;;

?> ***************************************
Party on, dudes!
