Okay im not sure i understand you- you want to create a page where it will suck an item out of a database, and use it to choose which item in a drop down menu should be selected? If so, you can try something like <select name="catagory> <option value="0"<?php if ($catagory == 0) {echo " selected"}; ?>>Action</option> <option value="1"<?php if ($catagory == 1) {echo " selected"}; ?>>Comedy</option> <option value="2"<?php if ($catagory == 2) {echo " selected"}; ?>>Etc.</option> </select> On Monday 22 July 2002 16:07 pm, Raymond Lilleodegard wrote: > Hi! > > I have a site with all my movies and stuff stored in a database.
