hi karen

this is dips

i have found out this piece of code
from book php essentials

chapter no 7
and the php file will be

admin_modrecord1.php

go and check it

<select name=\\"sel_record\\">
<option value=\\"\\"> -- Select an Item -- </option>

\";

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)) {

$isbn = $row[\"ISBN\"];
$title = $row[\"TITLE\"];
echo \"
<option value=\\\"$isbn\\\">$isbn : $title</option>
\";

}

echo \"

</select>

with regards from dips

if you mean the html select field with the drop-down menu, you can use it sort of this way:

// $arr_id is a array containing the id no's

<select name="sel_id" size="1">
<?php foreach($arr_id as $id) { ?>
<option value="<?php echo $id; ?> </option>
<?php } ?>
</select>

hope that helps

I bought the PHP Essentials book. I think that book is EXACTLY what you need. It will tell you just what you want to know. The author, Julie Meloni (spelling?), takes the perfect approach for a beginner ( I know because I am one).

You can go to her website (www.thickbook.com) and download the code examples from the book. If you are an experienced coder, that should be all you need...if you are a beginner, just buy the book.
