Re: converting from form -> dropdown box

hi, all you have to do is to extract values from the database with a query. i suppose you know... after that you have to do all you have done till now except the dropdown toolbox(that is called actually a listbox). for the list box you have to write like this: <select name="select"> <?php for($i=count(records returned by the query);$i++) echo '<option name='.$records_returned[$i].'>$records_returned[$i].</option>'; ?> </select> so the select it's here your input type text..and the other are the same like you have on that form. if you want an example on how to extract values from a database try to search on php.net because now i don't know what database you use and so on... cybercop78 On Mon, 13 Jan 2003 16:20:27 -0500, Dzung Nguyen wrote > Anybody could hep me converting the following form to dropdown box? > The easier task (I assume) is to populate the box with the all > possible values of a column in mySQL table (I don't know what how to > do this yet, though).
