RE: [PHP-DB] drop down list

I use this function (as well as a couple others which do similar things for all form elements; // Creates an HTML select box of values. // $options can be one or two dimensional, if one then indexes 0+ are used as values // $misc contains any key/value pairs you want added to the tag as attributes, such // as class, style or "multiple" attributes. function display_select($name, $options, $value = 0, $misc = "unset") { $select = ""; } } $select .= "\n"; return $select; } // -Original Message- // From: B.J.Rumsey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] // Sent: Wednesday, 30 January 2002 2:30 PM // To: php-db // Subject: [PHP-DB] drop down list // // // I have two fields artist_id, artist.

RE: [PHP-DB] Drop down list
I'm not allowed to answer arguments pointed to me? This is my way of dealing with newbies, and this is what I've learned to be the most powerfull way to really learn how to do things.
