[RESOLVED] Trying to select an option with PHP

[captainscall]

Ok, i just totally simplified it. I've got it narrowed to this:

<?php
$timeout4 = '17:00';

$inorout = 'out';
$x = 4;

$it = 'time'.$inorout.$x;
print $it; // works... prints timeout4
print "<br />";
print ${$it}; // also works... prints 17:00

if (${$it} == "17:00") print ${$it}; // WORKS. prints 17:00


//HERE is the problem. When $h hits 17, the if() should fire true. Well it doesn't and only prints the non-selected option

for ($h = 6; $h <= 22; $h++)
{
	if (${$it} == '$h:00') {$output = "<option value='$h:00' selected='selected'>$h:00</option>";}
	else { $output = "<option value='$h:00'>$h:00</option>"; }
}
echo $output;

OH MY GOSH. I have spend hours on this confounding problem and found that FIREFOX is to blame.

The script runs completely fine on IE. It was because I didn't declare a DOCTYPE in firefox.

Goodness... gracious...
