Making a drop down box in a form sticky.

HI there I have two drop down boxes. One to select the time and another to select the price of an event.

Basically I want them to be sticky so if the form is submitted and there is a mistake I want the form to remeber the value.

I've included two parts to my script the

the drop down boxes:

Event start time:<select name="eventtime">

if (!empty($_POST['eventtime'])) {
  $etm = escape_data($_POST['eventtime']);
 
} else {
 
  $etm = NULL;
  echo '<p><font color="red" size="+1">Please enter a time for the event.</font></p>';
  
}
 
// Check for entry price
