Question

I want a html with a dropdown menu were it's items are picked up from a mysql database. Then, when I select one of them, I want to be able to use it on a php file. Anybody has an example? Thanks

Answer 1

print '<form method="post" action="submit.php">';
print '<select size="1" name="myselect">';
foreach($dbresults as $r) {
    print '<option value="'.$r['field'].'">'.$r['field'].'</option>';
}
print '</select>';
print '<input type="submit" value="Go!" />';
print '</form>';

And on the form's action page:

$chosen_thing = $_POST['myselect'];
