You can create your own function to build this for you. I have always put the 50 states in a database and used that for all my html and output requirements. You can google state abbreviations and use that in a database or file. -- BigDog -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] states
Does anyone know of any built in functions or options for the US states? I want to make a drop down menu and some other things which have the 50 states in it. Is there any shortcut for this with PHP, or do I need to do it all manually in HTML? Please let me know. Thanks. Matt Hi Matt, Short answer - No. PHP Doesn't have ant short function to generate drop down lists or menus. Your best bet is to look at http://www.webreference.com/dhtml/hiermenus/ and build your HM_Arrays.js from scratch (or 'borrow' the select box from other sites.) Regards Andrew ps. as a European, I get very annoyed with the number of websites that ask for address details and then only give State/County/Area options for US states. I know the U.S.A is big - but the rest of the world is bigger. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I want to make a drop down menu and some other things which have the 50
states in it. Is there any shortcut for this with PHP, or do I need to
do it all manually in HTML? Please let me know. Thanks.
Here's code that will create a dropdown list of states. It uses functions
called getNames and getCodes that create arrays of the state names and state
codes. The functions that create the arrays are attached.
select name=state
?php
$stateName=getNames();
$stateCode=getCodes();
for ($n=1;$n=50;$n++)
{
$state=$stateName[$n];
$scode=$stateCode[$n];
echo option value='$scode';
if ($scode== AL)
echo selected;
echo $state\n;
}
?
/select
Good luck,
Janet
