apologies for answering such an already-over-answered question, but i feel
that no-one has given a particularly *good* answer, so i'll add mine to the
list. I use this function (as well as a couple others which do similar
things for all form elements;
// Creates an HTML select box of values.
// $options can be one or two dimensional, if one then indexes 0+ are used
as values
// $misc contains any key/value pairs you want added to the tag as
attributes, such
// as class, style or "multiple" attributes.
function display_select($name, $options, $value = 0, $misc = "unset") {
$select = "<select";
if (strlen($name))
$select .= " name=\"" . $name . "\"";
if (is_array($misc))
while (list($id, $val) = each($misc))
$select .= " " . $id . "=\"" . $val . "\"";
$select .= ">";
if (is_array($options)) {
while (list($id, $val) = each($options)) {
$select .= "\n<option";
$select .= " value=\"" . $id . "\"";
if (strcmp($id, $value))
$select .= ">";
else
$select .= " selected>";
$select .= htmlspecialchars($val) . "</option>";
}
}
$select .= "\n</select>";
return $select;
}
