Make block of code into a function, How?

[Meltdown]

Hi everone, I have the code below which displays all the counties in Ireland in a <select> box...it works OK.

How can I turn this block of code into a function so that I can call it from anywhere without repeating the block of code.

Thanks for any help

<?
$products_selected = $HTTP_POST_VARS['query'];

$result = mysql_query ("SELECT county FROM counties ORDER BY countyid

ASC");

print "<select class=\"bginput\" name=\"query\">";
print "<option value=1>All Counties</option>";
while ($a_row = mysql_fetch_row ($result)) {
foreach ($a_row as $query)
if ($query == $products_selected) $sel =

'selected="selected"';
else $sel = "";
print "<option value=\"$query\" $sel> $query ";
}
print "</select><input type=submit name=\"submit\">";

?>

Just put all the code inside procedure ShowCountry(){} and then

put the code in a separate .php file and use:

include(country.php);

or

require(country.php);

That way, you call the procedure by using ShowCountry();

Good Luck.
