Drop down box using php4

[Guest_imported]

I wish to produce a drop down box for states in a submit form but I keep getting parse errors. This is what I am currently using with no drop down box. Where do I place the "select" command? and then the "option" selections?

<tr>

<td valign=center align=center><font color=\&quot;FFFFFF\&quot; size=\&quot;1\&quot; face=\&quot;arial\&quot;>State</font></td>

<td valign=center align=center><input TYPE=text maxlength=100 NAME=state VALUE=\&quot;$service[state]\&quot;></td>


Thanks
