Are the values in each "option" set in PHP? If so, add it there. I think
someone posted a suggestion involving arrays. Along that line, I might do
something like this with static values (they could be computed values though).
$div[1] = array("Math"=>12.75, "Arts"=>15.25, "Science"=>8.95);
$div[2] = array("Math"=>12.75, "Arts"=>15.25, "Science"=>8.95);
$fmt = " <option value='%s' label='%s'>%s</option>\n";
$tot = array();
# loop through divisions
foreach ($div as $div_num=>$div_array)
{
# display select list
print "<select name='division$div_num'>\n";
# loop through the $div_array list
foreach ($div_array as $label=>$value)
{
printf($fmt, $value, $label, $label);
}
print "</select>\n";
$tot[$div_num] = array_sum($div_array);
}
printf("<pre>%s</pre>", print_r($tot, true));
