[PHP-WIN] query mysql from php drop down list

[Pete Kuczynski]

Hi,
I use a html frop down list to choose an item to be placed into a cell.
This causes much work when updating the site as the html code needs
updating:

Device:&nbsp;</td>
        <td width="25%"><select size="1" name="device" tabindex="3">
            <option selected>some device</option>
            <option>AOC Spectrum 4V CRT</option>
            <option>Arlan 630 antenna</option>
            <option>AT&amp;T CRT</option>
            <option>AT&amp;T CRT 0131</option>
            <option>AT&amp;T CRT 314</option>
            <option>AT&amp;T CRT 324</option>
            <option>AT&amp;T CRT 329D</option>
            <option>AT&amp;T CRT 334</option>
            <option>AT&amp;T CRT 7134</option>

I would like to have my php script instead query a table in my database
for this information.

Here is the partial update query script in use:


while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result1)) {
   
    echo "<td align=right>Site ID:  <input type=text name='site_id'
value='$row->site_id'></td><tr>";
    echo "<td align=right>Hostname:  <input type=text name='hostname'
value='$row->hostname'></td><tr>";
    echo "<td align=right>Device:  <input type=text name='device'
value='$row->device'></td><tr>";

My question is, how can I change the last field above, the device field,
if I wan't it to work as a lookup table and replace the html table
aboce. So it will work like a list box, and allow you to choose from 30
diferent items.

Thanks for any insight.

Pete
