This is a function I made which covers my needs. May be of some help for you. This is a "select" box but I'm sure you can modify it for a combo box.
$form_fiel_name is the name you want the box to have in your web form. $table is the table from you want to retrieve the information $field is the specific field from the table $kind could be simple or multiple function show_list_field($form_field_name, $table, $field, $kind) { $list_result = ""; $list_result .= "<select name=\"".$form_field_name."[]\" size=\"5 \" ".$kind.">"; $query = "select $field from $table"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die($mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $list_result .= "<option value=\"$row[$field] \">".htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($row["$field"]))."</option>"; } $list_result .= "</select>"; return $list_result; } Hope it helps ******************************************************* Wilmar Pérez Network Administrator Library System Tel: ++57(4)2105145 University of Antioquia Medellín - Colombia 2002 ******************************************************* -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
