Specify a number of lines

[zzz]

Create drop down based on numeric value. I have a form where user specifies the number of entries, when submitted, say number=5 I need to create a new form with that many entry lines. I sort of understand what I need to do but not quite at the same time.

$numerLines = 5;

echo '<select>';

while (what goes here???) {
echo '
<input type=text name=line1>
<input type=text name=line2>
<input type=text name=line3>
<input type=text name=line4>
<input type=text name=line5>';
}

echo '</select>';

Like this?

<form method="post" action="form.php">
	<select name="count">
    	<option value="1">1</option>
    	<option value="2">2</option>
    	<option value="3">3</option>
    </select>
    <input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit" />
</form>

<form method="post" action="">
<?php 
$counter = $_POST['count'];

while($counter > 0){
	echo "<input type='text' name='line{$counter}' value='{$counter}'><br />";
	$counter = $counter - 1;
	}
?>
</form>
