Is There Something Like This.value Of Js In Php?

[tinfanide]

	 <option value="var1" <?php if($var=="this.value"){echo "SELECTED";} ?> >var 1</option>	 <option value="var2" <?php if($var=="this.value"){echo "SELECTED";} ?> >var 2</option>

I know we can refer to the object's value by using "this".But is there an equivalent word in PHP?

PHP only runs before the page has loaded. You can send form data to PHP and access it though $_POST or $_GET

There is a 'this' in PHP but only really used in classes. ie. $this->firstName = $name;

So I cannot refer to the object in HTML like Javascript does?

<option value="ABC" <?php this.value ?> ></option>

Any alternative in PHP for this function?

No. To PHP, the "<option>" is just pure text, the PHP engine doesn't parse the HTML or work with the DOM in any way before sending the content to the client. If you want the value, then just use the value:

<option value="var1" <?php if($var=="var1"){echo "SELECTED";} ?> >var 1</option><option value="var2" <?php if($var=="var2"){echo "SELECTED";} ?> >var 2</option>
