Thanks

There is much cleaner ways to do this but for a quick fix, below should now work as you expect:

<?php

if (!isset($_POST["sex"])) {

	print "Please start!";

} else if ("Male" == $_POST["sex"]) {

	print "Male !";

     $male_checked = " SELECTED";

} else if ("Female" == $_POST["sex"]) {

	print "Female !";

    $female_checked = " SELECTED";

} else {

	print "Himmm!";

}

?>



<html>

<head></head>

<body>

<form action="result.php" method="post"> 

SEX? <select name="sex"  >

	  <option value="Male" <?php echo $male_checked ?>>Male</option>

	  <option value="Female" <?php echo $female_checked ?>>Female</option>

     </select><br>

<input type="submit" value="Send">

</form>

</body>

</html>
