Question

i have this code to create a select list in drupal dynamically.

$res = db_query("select field1 from content_type_1");
while($row = db_fetch_array($res)){
$rows[] =$row['field1'];
}
return $rows;

output is like:

<select>
<option value="0">row['field1']</option>
</select>

i need output like this

<select>
<option value="row['field1']">row['field1']</option>
</select>

how to do this?

Not sure about it, but I suppose that drupal :

• uses the key of the array for the value attribute,
• and uses the value of the array as content of the <option>.

If it’s the case, changing your loop to this could help :

while($row = db_fetch_array($res)){
    $rows[ $row['field1'] ] = $row['field1'];
}

Now, for each item of the $rows array, the key is the same as the value.
