RE: [PHP-DB] Display in drop-down box

2002-03-01 Thread Leotta, Natalie (NCI/IMS)

Try doing a select distinct on that field and then loop through the results,
adding each one to your drop-down box as you go.

I don't have the exact code anymore because we stopped doing it that way,
but that's the basic idea of how to go about it.

I hope it helps!

 Hi there,
 
 I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to show me how to select a
 field from a table in mysql and display it in a drop-down combo box?
 
 I am trying to show my users a list of all the parts from a table so that
 they can edit or delete it.
 
 Thanks!
 
 Alvin

Let me give this a shot :P

?
Mysql_connect(sqlserver,user,pass);
Mysql_select_db(db);
$resultset = mysql_query(select DISTINCT identifier, displayname from
table);
for($i=1;$i=mysql_num_rows($resultset);$i++)
{
$object = mysql_fetch_object($resultset);
$identifier = $object - identifier;
$displayname= $object - displayname;

print option value=\$identifier\$displayname/option;
}
?

I do believe that should do it.  Correct me if I missed anything.

Ryan
