<? function generate_option_list ($key_value,$set) { // This function will return option list and set the selected attribute // $key_value : the associative array which contain the key and the value for each option // $set : the value to be selected by deafult // // Usage: for example we want to have a dropdown list of month, and set February as selected // // $key_value=array("01"=>"January","02"=>"February",...); // $option_list=generate_option_list($key_value,"02"); // //$option_list now contain text <option value='01'>January</option> // // <option value='02' selected>February</option> // // NOTE: This will only create the <OPTION> tag, without the <SELECT> tag // while ( list($key,$value) = each($key_value) ) { if ($key==$set) {$var.="<option value='$key' selected>$value</option>";} else {$var.="<option value='$key'>$value</option>";} } return $var; } ?> -- Jimmy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Leave loved ones with loving words, it may be the last time you see them -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
