[RESOLVED] arrays

[peaAYCHpee]

I need some help creating an array.
I'm familiar with visual basic to do the task that i need, but i'm not sure how to do it with php.

I need a 'do while loop' to populate a forms 'select field' options so that i may populate a select with options from 1000 to 2000, instead of actually making a thousand select options.

Thanks 🙂

You don't necessarily need an array, if I understand the question. A for() loop should be sufficient:

<select name='foo'>
<?php
for($i = 1000; $i <= 2000; $i++) {
   echo "<option>$i</option>\n";
}
?>
</select>

Or am I missing something?

nope that's it. works like a charm. pretty similar to vb, it was the syntax for the echoing of the html that i was having trouble with. thanks a lot 🙂

I prefer this because I use WYSIWIG

<?php

$sql = "SELECT id, description FROM table";
$results = mysql_query($sql);
while($x = mysql_fetch_assoc($results)) {

    $rows[] = $x;
}


?>

<select name='foo'> 
<?php  foreach($rows as $row) { ?>
   <option value=<?php echo $row[id]; ?>><?php echo $row[description]; ?></option>
<?php } ?> 
</select>
