I have a next piece of the template:
Another way ( as used in WordPress ) Link to Wordpress code which employs reusability would be:
The selected() function determines if the value was choosen and sets the selected option.
/**
* Outputs the html selected attribute.
*
* Compares the first two arguments and if identical marks as selected
*
* @since 1.0.0
*
* @param mixed $selected One of the values to compare
* @param mixed $current (true) The other value to compare if not just true
* @param bool $echo Whether to echo or just return the string
* @return string html attribute or empty string
*/
function selected( $selected, $current = true, $echo = true ) {
return __checked_selected_helper( $selected, $current, $echo, 'selected' );
}
The selected() function in turn calls the helper function below to compare and determine whether the value is the selected or not. It returns 'selected=selected' or ''.
/**
* Private helper function for checked, selected, disabled and readonly.
*
* Compares the first two arguments and if identical marks as $type
*
* @since 2.8.0
* @access private
*
* @param mixed $helper One of the values to compare
* @param mixed $current (true) The other value to compare if not just true
* @param bool $echo Whether to echo or just return the string
* @param string $type The type of checked|selected|disabled|readonly we are doing
* @return string html attribute or empty string
*/
function __checked_selected_helper( $helper, $current, $echo, $type ) {
if ( (string) $helper === (string) $current ) {
$result = " $type='$type'";
} else {
$result = '';
}
if ( $echo ) {
echo $result;
}
return $result;
}
