HTML dropdown menu function

If you have some sites that do not rely on a framework you could use this function to generate a simple HTML select.
Note: It won't preselect multiple values.
You can download the the code from the link below (usually doesn't look good in a post)

gethtmlselectphp

[code language="php"]
//echo getHTMLSelect('dropdown', array(0 => "", 1 => "'test'"", 2 => "test2"), @$_REQUEST['sel']);

/**
* Returns an HTML dropdown menu.
*
* @param string $name HTML select name
* @param array $values options key value
* @param int $selected_id currently selected ID
* @param string $attr several attributes that will be added in
* @return string
*/
function getHTMLSelect($name = 'dropdown', $values = array(), $selected_id = 0, $attr = '') {
$buff = "n";
foreach($values as $k => $v) {
$s = ($selected_id == $k) ? " selected='selected'" : '';
$k = intval($k);
$v = htmlentities($v, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
$buff .= "$vn";
}

$buff .= "n";
return $buff;
}
