Select box with file list

Hi,

How to create a select box that extracts all values out of an array, I want to use it for a file directory...

thanks in advance,

um,

here's a bunch of code, you will have to figure out how to put it together

<?
@your_array = ('field1','field2','field3');
<?

-- break the array up, and then add some php and html code to get you

$s_box = '
<option value="something"> field1\n
<option value="something"> field2\n
<option value="something"> field3\n ';

--- then get in the box below using echo or something

<select name="something">
<?
echo = "$s_box";
?>

</select>

i did something similar but don't remember exactly what to get it to work, but try it

Here is a pice that blows apart a comma seperated field and puts it into a select box:

echo "
<p><select name=\"sel_item_color\">
<option value=\"\"> Select a Color </option>
";

$sel_color = explode(",", $color);

				for ($index=0; $index < count($sel_color); $index++)
				{
				print ("<option value=\"$sel_color[$index]\">$sel_color[$index]</option>\n");
				}

				echo "

					</select></p>";

If you just want it to go through a array you could just do a while loop:

echo "<select name=\"\">";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$name = $row["name"];
echo "<option value=\"$name\">$name</option>";
}
echo "</select>";

hope that helps
