okay, i figured out the combo thing--code is below. it actually wasn't too
difficult with some help!
but, when i use tutname i get an undefined variable
it works fine with the static combo that i was using?
can you think of any reason for this?
function load_combobox()
{
?>
<?
@ $db = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "", "");
if (!$db)
{
echo "Error: Could not connect to database. Please try again later.";
exit;
}
mysql_select_db("tutorial");
$options = "select distinct tutorialname from tutorial";
$optres = mysql_query($options);
$opt_results = mysql_num_rows($optres);
echo "<select name=tutname>";
for ($i=0; $i <$opt_results; $i++)
{
$optrow = mysql_fetch_array($optres);
$optionval = stripslashes($optrow["tutorialname"]);
echo "<option>$optionval</option>";
echo "<br>";
}
echo "</select>";
?>
<?
}
