RE: [PHP-DB] Splitting a string and placing the contents into a f orm pulldown

use explode() by doing something in the gist of: $options = explode('<br><br>', $line); echo '<select><option>'.join('</option><option>', $options).'</option></select>'; -----Original Message----- From: Chris Payne To: php-db@lists.php.net Sent: 6/6/02 5:25 PM Subject: [PHP-DB] Splitting a string and placing the contents into a form pulldown Hi there everyone, I have this pattern in a mysql db: Deluxe double £165.00 prpn<br><br>Single £128.00 prpn<br><br>Triple £229.00 prpn What I need to do is to remove the <br> but where there <br>'s are should be the end of a string, so in this case I should have an Array (?) of 3 items. My question is, how, from this 1 line, can I split it into 3 options and place it in a pulldown box in my form? I have no choice but to use the info in this format as it is for a company who displays this information in a webpage, (hence the <br>'s) but need the same info to populate a dropdown menu for selection. Sigh, they never make it easy for me :-) I know what needs to be done, but don't know how to do it :-( Thanks for everything, it's really appreciated. Chris --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
