you can use fetch_array:
$data = mysql_query("select * from Categories");
$aux="<select name=categorie>";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($data)) {
$aux.="<option value=",$row['id'].">".$row['Name']."</option>";
}
$aux.="</select>";
echo $aux;
this code will print in html a combobox with the options, in php, the
variable "$catagorie" will have the "id" number of a categorie...
see you,
