If I'm understanding you correctly, this should get you started: <?php $arr = array( 'inventory_100' => 'apples', 'inventory_101' => 'oranges', 'inventory_102' => 'pears', 'inventory_103' => 'bananas', ); echo '<select id="inventory_items">'.PHP_EOL; foreach ($arr as $k => $v) { echo ' <option value="'.$k.'">'.$v.'</option>'.PHP_EOL; } echo '</select>'.PHP_EOL; ?> You can copy and paste that code (though I just typed it in here, it should work) and it should illustrate the point. -- </Daniel P.
