That's the nifty SQL I mentioned seeing before. It was posted by Puneet.[1]
============================
SELECT val,
text,
(if then else to return "selected" or "") AS selected
FROM table
WHERE whatever...
then in my template...
<tmpl_loop occupations>
<option value="<tmpl_var val>" <tmpl_var selected>>
<tmpl_var text>
</option>
</tmpl_loop>
=============================
But, the other nifty part was posted by Jason. He suggested using DBI's
fetchall_arrayref to directly populate the template without putting the values
in your own hash:
=============================
$sth->execute();
$template->param( "OCCUPATION_LOOP" => $sth->fetchall_arrayref( {} ) );
=============================
