Josiah.. I think you are asking the wrong mailing list for this... I am assuming you are using PHP correct? Your explanation isn't all that clear, but I can guess what you are trying to do. You want to have a drop down list, but don't know what data type..
You can use VarChar or text for this. Varchar means you other characters besides text in the fields. Like numbers !@#$%^&*( etc. So you can do Create table State varchar(25); If you need more help, let me know, don't ask the mysql list unless its mysql related! -----Original Message----- From: Josiah Wallingford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 08, 2002 12:30 AM To: MySql Subject: Dropdown lists I need to create a dropdown list in my script I am writing but don't know how to set it up in mysql.
