Question

How can I make in PHP dropdown menu which will have options from 0 to certain number which mysqlquery will retrieve?

I’ve tried while loop but it just retrieves one option with value of mysql. iex. in mysql table there is value six (6). So I want it to printed like this:

<select name="count">  
<option value="">Count</option>  
<option value="1">1</option>  
<option value="2">2</option>  
.  
.  
.  
<option value="6">6</option>  
</select>

So far its this:

$count = mysql_query('SELECT count FROM table') or die ('MySQL error! Error with query!');  
print('<select name="count">');  
print('<option="">Count</option>');  
while($values = mysql_fetch_array($count))  
{  
print('<option value="');  
print $values;  
print('">');  
print  $values;
print('</option>');  
}   
print('</select>');

Retrieve the number from your database – let us say it is stored in $maxnum – then run through all the values from 1 to $maxnum, using a for loop, echoing an <option> element in each loop iteration.
