I have create dynamic options in php. All option are selected by default . I want to add all selected option into database. How can i check options is selected or not?

In foreach should be `$_POST['marketing']` instead of `$_POST`. — pavel, May 18 '15 at 06:40
remove the selected there... and create a new option above that. somewhat like this `` — Sam Teng Wong, May 18 '15 at 06:40
User can select or deselect options. And multiple option can be selected. — Syeda Shah, May 18 '15 at 06:40
@BurningCrystals: probably `select` with multiple `attribute`. — pavel, May 18 '15 at 06:41

Try this, we do not know what else is being posted through your form though..

if (isset($_POST["marketing"])){
    foreach($_POST as $key => $value)
        {
        $iselected = ($value == $_POST['marketing']) ? 'selected' : '';
        echo "<option value='" . $value . "' $iselected>" . $value . "</option>";
        }
    }

@moffeltje Why? There is no indication key `marketing` holds an array value – dbf May 18 '15 at 07:27
