 I keep getting parse error with this code:
 ($teams[] is a big array that I got by using mysql_fetch_array)
  
  
$r = game;
echo select name='game';
echo option value=game1$teams[$r.'1']/option;
echo option value=game1$teams[$r.'16']/option;
echo /select;

This really is a faq: if you want to substitute anything other than a simple variable 
name into a double-quoted string, you MUST use curly braces {} to delimit it. So:

echo option value=game1${teams[$r.'1']}/option;

is what you need.

(Note: I also treat variable names including underlines _ as being not simple, as I've 
had cases where PHP seems to parse these incorrectly -- for example, 
...$long_name... is treated as ...${long}_name..., not ...${long_name})

If you have any doubts, include the {} -- even for simple variables, it does no harm 
to write, for example ...${var}

I do sometimes wonder whether the {} should be made mandatory in some future version, 
even for simple variables, to avoid exactly this kind of confusion.

Cheers!

Mike

Re: [PHP] HTML lists PHP

maybe you can try something like this... 

$r1 = game1
$r2 = game16;

  echo select name='game';
  echo option value=game1$teams[$r1]/option;
  echo option value=game1$teams[$r2]/option;
  echo /select;

echo option value=game1$teams[$r.'1']/option;
echo option value=game1$teams[$r.'16']/option;

 Im trying to make a dropdown list.
