php - if else statement not work in option input -

here code :

var $myarray =array ('black','blue','brown','yellow')  if ( $row['color']=="") {     echo"<option value='' selected>---select---</option>"; }  foreach ($myarray $color) {      if ($row['color']!="" && $row['color']==$color) {          echo"<option value='$color' selected>$color</option>";      }else {         echo"<option value='$color'>$color</option>";     }  } 

my question is how rid of (<option value='' selected>---select---</option>) if $row['color'] not null or not empty?

i´ve tried many ways...but nothing helped. :s

<?php $myarray =array ('black','blue','brown','yellow'); $row['color']=''; ?> <select name='whatever'>  <?php     if ($row['color']=='' || $row['color']==null){        echo "<option value=''>----select----</option>";     }     foreach ($myarray $color){          if ($row['color']==$color){             echo"<option value='$color' selected>$color</option>";         }         else{             echo"<option value='$color'>$color</option>";         }      }  ?>
