Een HTML-select-tag een value mee geven ?!?!?

<select name="type">
 <option selected value="<?php echo $type;?>"><?php echo $type;?></option>
 <option value="A">A</option>	 
 <option value="B">B</option>
 <option value="C">C</option>	
</select>

<?php

function makeOptions($options, $select = false) {
	$out = '';
	foreach($options as $value => $text) {
		$selected = '';
		if($select == $value)
			$selected = ' selected="selected"';
		$out.= '<option value="'.$value.'"'.$selected.'>'.$text.'</option>';
	}
	return $out;
}

$options = array(
	'1' => 'koud',
	'3' => 'warm',
	'7' => 'heet'
);

?>

<select><?php echo makeOptions($options, '3'); ?></select>
