Selected in option from while PHP

Question

I have a problem to select the preferred value

<?php
...
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
   $selected_rep = ($row['ID']=67) ? 'selected="selected"' :'';
   while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
    	echo "<option $selected_rep value='". $row["ID"]."'>" . $row["NUME"]. ' '. $row["PRENUME"]. "</option>\n";
   }
}
...
?>

I want to select the value with ID=67. Not function $selected_rep ,select all values.

Simply put the selected test inside the loop where it has access to the loaded $row for each of the resultset rows you are processing

if ($result->num_rows > 0) {

   while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        $selected_rep = ($row['ID'] == 67) ? 'selected="selected"' :'';

        echo "<option $selected_rep value='". $row["ID"]."'>" . $row["NUME"]. ' '. $row["PRENUME"]. "</option>\n";
   }
}

Ahhh and you write test using == and not =

== is this equal to that

= set this to that
