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)) {

I'd use foreach() here and avoid next(). At least, reset the array first. And maybe pass the array by reference: function dropbox_from_list(&$list, $selected_index) { foreach($list as $k => $v) {

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

} }

Maybe you should also add what it is that's "not working".

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(' ' =>' ');

Are you starting with an empty key & value so that you'll have an empty option in your select list? Why not just print an empty one?

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){

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

} return $country_list; }

Start with the obvious: what does $country_list contain when it's returned? Again, some details about what you're getting would go a long way toward getting some advice.
