Interesting technique. Depending on your error_reporting levels, you may get
a bunch of undefined variable warnings, though.
I usually use a config file with arrays for my select boxes. Something like
$_CONF['Something'] = array(This,That,And,Something);
Then just create a function like
Nathan, this is a new idea to me and very interesting. Do you know what
happens here if the error reporting is set to max? Are a bunch of
unitialized variables warnings issued?
Thanks for contributing this to the list.

i used the same techniqu a while back when i worked with Fast Template.
scenario:
