Re: Check input against list

The countries array is 232 entries, states 59. I'm not sure it's worth putting into the DB. The main thing I didn't want, was almost 300 "if" statements to type, and make mistakes in. Importing this from my HTML was easy, just discard the extraneous bits, and I can add or remove entries easily enough. $State_Options = array("AL","AK","AS","AZ","AR","CA","CO","CT","DE","DC",
