Enum Foreaach

[arggg]

I have an enum mysql field with a null value ''. I need that null value to be disabled in the dropdown list however it is showing the html <option> as <option/> Here is the code I have.

[code=php]
foreach($enums as $key)
{
echo "<option ".$func->iif($key==$res ults['Group'],'selected','') .">".$func->makeSafe($key) ."</option>";
}[/code]

I have also tried the following with no success either.
[code=php]
foreach($enums as $key)
{
if (is_null($key) || !isset($key))
echo "<option></option>";
else
echo "<option ".$func->iif($key===$re sults['Group'],'selected')."> ".$func->makeSafe($key) ."</option>";
}[/code]

anyone know why this displays the null option as <option/> and not <option></option>?

I have tried adding slashes to escape the quotes but still no luck.

How about:
[PHP]<?php
foreach($enums as $key)
{
?>
<option <?php echo ( $func->iif($key==$res ults['Group'],'selected','') ); ?> >
<?php echo ( $func->makeSafe($ke y) ); ?> </option>
}[/PHP]

Or something like that? Just further separating the html and php?

I don't understand how this is happening...
You're not echoing '<option/>' anywhere, so it shouldnt be printed.

How are you viewing the HTML source?
Some browsers will interpret a <tag></tag> as <tag />.

[HTML]if (is_null($key) || !isset($key))[/HTML]

Is useless here. isset($key) will always return true. NULL converts to an empty string with echo() so there is no need to test if its null, then write out the literal <option></option>.

I found where the issue was with the <option/> It appears if there is no text between the <option></option> tags it will change the tags to <option/> It must be the browsers or something... Who knows so what I did was if the value = '' then just do <option value=''>[None]</option> to fix this problem.
