I have dropdown on Enquiry page, some text boxes etc with a capthca below and submit button

I used this code for my text boxes

<input name="fld_name" type="text" id="fld_name" size="40" value="<?php if($_POST['fld_name']) { echo $_POST['fld_name']; } ?>" />

it keeps the data in the textboxes when the user does something worng like type in wrong captcha code.

The drop down boxes however dont wokr with that code lol, my code looks like this

<select name = "fld_wherehear" id="fld_wherehear" >
					  <option value = "0" selected>Select...</option>
	<option value = "1">Internet</option>
	<option value = "2">Newsletter</option>
	<option value = "3">Friend</option>
	<option value = "4">Magazine</option>
	<option value = "5">Other</option>
</select>
