Enumeration

[Anon]

Hi guys,

I want to fill a field in the following form:

colour(blue,red,green)

and then create a dropdown box on a page like this:

Colour: <dropdown>

This has to be <select name=colour><option value="blue">Blue

and so on.

Is that possible?

Not quite sure what you are asking, but it looks like you want to take input like

$input="blue,red,green";

And then create a drop list from that.

I'd use the "explode" function to break the string into an array

$colors=explode($input, ",");

And then loop thru the results.

For ($i=0; $i<sizeof($colors); $i++)
{
echo "<OPTION NAME=\"whatever\"". VALUE=$colors[$i].">".$colors[$i]."</OPTION>\n";
}

HOPE THIS HELPS!
