Re: Associative array issues with loading values after initialization

I should add, it is not working with this funciton, which could be the source of the issue. function dropbox_from_list($list, $selected_index){ while ($nex = next($list)) {

       $k = key($nex);
       if (strcmp($selected_index, $k) == 0) {
           $select = ' SELECTED';
       }
       else {
           $select = '';
       }
       print("<option value='".$k."'".$select.">".$nex[$k]."</option>");

The below function is not working. function crm_get_country_list(){ global $dbh; $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM countries ORDER BY pk_country_id ASC", $dbh) or die(mysql_error()); $country_list = array(' ' =>' '); while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){

       $country_list[$row['pk_countryID']] = $row['country_name'];

} return $country_list; } I know how to write this in perl but for some reason, when I write it in PHP it doesn't work. In perl it would be (roughly): function crm_get_country_list(){ global $dbh; $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM countries ORDER BY pk_country_id ASC", $dbh) or die(mysql_error()); my %country_list; while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){

       $country_list[$row['pk_countryID']] = $row['country_name'];

} return \%country_list; } What am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance, Tom
