I have $country which stores the 2 letter country code of a user. US for example.
Code:
<select id="countries">
<option value="US">United States</option>
<option value="EN">England</option>
<option value="AU">Australia</option>
<option value="CA">Canada</option>
etc.
</select>
What's the best practice to add "selected" to the option of the users country code?
I'm against adding a million if's.
