Drop Down List - Text Fields

[SimonFinch]

I'm using a Mambo component (Remository) to output details about files for download. The code below shows what's there at the moment.

 $this->fileOutputBox(_CUSTOM_4,'custom_4',$file->custom_4,25); 

This creates a simple text box for the user to enter details in. However, in some fields I want to limit the options available by having a select drop down box.

In other fields I may want to supply the values in the select drop down from other fields in the db.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks,

Simon

i would suggest reading the Mambo manual, or at least pointing your question to a Mambo board. this is a php board. just because Mambo is written in php doesn't mean your questions are directly php related. that would be like me asking all my linux questions on a board for C programmers.

Fair point, but still being a php noob, it's hard to know what's "pure" php and what's unique to a given script.
