What is the correct attribute to use in PHP to maintain the selected value in a Select Box?

To maintain the selected value in a Select Box in PHP, you can use the "selected" attribute within the <option> tag. This attribute specifies that an option should be pre-selected when the page loads. You can dynamically set the "selected" attribute based on the value you want to be selected in the Select Box. 

&lt;select name=&quot;dropdown&quot;&gt;
    &lt;option value=&quot;1&quot; &lt;?php echo ($selectedValue == 1) ? &#039;selected&#039; : &#039;&#039;; ?&gt;&gt;Option 1&lt;/option&gt;
    &lt;option value=&quot;2&quot; &lt;?php echo ($selectedValue == 2) ? &#039;selected&#039; : &#039;&#039;; ?&gt;&gt;Option 2&lt;/option&gt;
    &lt;option value=&quot;3&quot; &lt;?php echo ($selectedValue == 3) ? &#039;selected&#039; : &#039;&#039;; ?&gt;&gt;Option 3&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;/select&gt;
