Question

I’m making a forum software, and I need to put an array into a drop down selection box. Like in the administration panel, have a drop down box that lists all of the current forums, so you choose one to delete or modify.

I can get the array fine, but how would I put that in a drop down box, or is there an alternative?

$select_forums = mysql_query("SELECT name FROM forums");

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($select_forums, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
    printf (" Name: %s", $row["name"]);
}

Answer 1

<select>
  <?php while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($select_forums, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { ?>
   <option value="<?php echo $row["id"] ?>"><?php echo $row["name"] ?></option>
  <?php }?>
</select>
