Search menu initial value is not working

Search menu initial value is not working

My dynamic search menu has an initial value but the initial value that displays is actually from the recordset and not the static value of "Post Type" that I have intended. <select name="post_type" class="formTextfield_Medium" id="post_type" title="Please enter a value." rel="<?php echo((isset($_GET["post_type"])?$_GET["post_type"]:"")); ?>">
<option value="" selected <?php if (!(strcmp("", $row_WADAtbl_posts['post_type']))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>>Post Type</option>
<?php
do {
?>
<option value="<?php echo $row_post_type['post_type']?>"<?php if (!(strcmp($row_post_type['post_type'], $row_WADAtbl_posts['post_type']))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>><?php echo $row_post_type['post_type']?></option>
<?php
} while ($row_post_type = mysql_fetch_assoc($post_type));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($post_type);
if($rows > 0) {
mysql_data_seek($post_type, 0);
$row_post_type = mysql_fetch_assoc($post_type);
}
?>
</select>

I just figured it out - <select name="post_type" class="formTextfield_Medium" id="post_type" title="Please enter a value." rel="<?php echo((isset($_GET["post_type"])?$_GET["post_type"]:"")); ?>">
<option value="" selected <?php if (!(strcmp("", $row_WADAtbl_posts['post_type']))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>>All</option>

Well - I guess not. This will at least allow the user to select "All" and view all posts however in the visible select menu "For Sale" appears when you select "All" and if I put all in the value then "All" is inserted in the query and of course the search result is off.

<select name="post_type" class="formTextfield_Medium" id="post_type" title="Please enter a value." rel="<?php echo((isset($_GET["post_type"])?$_GET["post_type"]:"")); ?>">
<option value="" selected <?php if (!(strcmp("", $row_WADAtbl_posts['post_type']))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>>All</option>
<?php
do {
?>
<option value="<?php echo $row_post_type['post_type']?>"<?php if (!(strcmp($row_post_type['post_type'], $row_WADAtbl_posts['post_type']))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>><?php echo $row_post_type['post_type']?></option>
<?php
} while ($row_post_type = mysql_fetch_assoc($post_type));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($post_type);
if($rows > 0) {
mysql_data_seek($post_type, 0);
$row_post_type = mysql_fetch_assoc($post_type);
}
?>

What do you mean by:

  the visible select menu "For Sale" appears when you select "All"  



Maybe if you sent me a URL it would make sense, but I'm not understanding what is wrong at this point so I can't give advice.

The FTP information you provided doesn't seem to work for me. Maybe just attach a copy of the page and I should be able to spot the problem.
