Re: Tough Select List with multiple arrays

phillip, if i understand your question correctly, you are trying to do dynamic selects. here is an example of a one way: $id = $row['game_id']; $select_name = 'selected'.$id; ${$select_name} = 'selected'; echo " <select name=test> <option name=1 $selected1> 1 <option name=2 $selected2> 2 <option name=3 $selected3> 3 <option name=4 $selected4> 4 </select> "; the trick is in ${$select_name}. it instantiates a variable whose name is contained in $select_name. hope this helps. -angelko On Wed, 18 Oct 2000, Phillip S.
