How to display a list on the page?

 <select name=""> <option value="0"></option> <?php foreach ($departments as $department) { if ($selected !== 0 && $selected === $department['id']) { echo '<option value="' . $department['id'] . '" selected="selected">' . $department['title'] . '</option>'; continue; } echo '<option value="' . $department['id'] . '">' . $department['title'] . '</option>'; } ?> </select> 

$departments is a classifier, i.e. the list itself is stored in a database, but it can also be stored in an array ...

 $departments = array( array('id' => '1', 'title' => 'Ленинский'), array('id' => '2', 'title' => 'Парк культуры') ... ); 

$selected is the saved value from the same list.
