something like....
function init_auth_list()
{
print "<select name=author> <option value=\"\">select the name
of
the author</option\>";
$query="select name from author order by name";
$result=pg_exec($GLOBALS["db"],$query);
$numrows=pg_numrows($result);
$i=0;
while($i<$numrows)
{
$row=pg_fetch_row($result,$i);
print "option
name=\"".$row[0]."\">$row[0]</option>";
$i++;
}
print "</select>";
}
