Show the option of the drop down list that is equal on the variable on the url
<p>I have the following drop down list. How can I show the correct option based on the url e.g. www.domain.com/?car=Algema&amp;city=Paris</p>

<p>What I did is add a <code>value="echo $_REQUEST['car'];"</code> because I used the same on my textboxes but it is not working.</p>

<p>I am using PHP.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;select name="car" value="echo $_REQUEST['car'];" id="car" class="select"&gt;
&lt;option value="Algema"&gt;Algema&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="Barkas"&gt;Barkas&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="Cadillac"&gt;Cadillac&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;/select&gt;
</code></pre>
