funny how that perl code looks so much like php ... or is it the other way
around.

I should add, it is not working with this funciton, which could be the
source of the issue.
function dropbox_from_list($list, $selected_index){

$k = key($nex);
if (strcmp($selected_index, $k) == 0) {
$select = ' SELECTED';

okay, so all the while, next, key stuff is gonna make your eyes bleed.
we have foreach() ... it is your friend:
function dropBox($items, $selected, $name, $output = false)
{
if (!is_array($items))
return;
$opts = array();
foreach($items as $k => $v) {
$k = htmlentities($k, ENT_QUOTES); // htmlentities should really
$v = htmlentities($v, ENT_QUOTES); // be getting a charset are 4rd arg
$s = $k == $selected ? ' selected="selected"' : '';
$opts[] = '<option value="'.$k.'"'.$s.'>'.$v.'</option>';
}
$html = '<select name="'.$name.'">'.join('', $opts).'</select>';
if ($output)
echo $html;
else
return $html;
}

The below function is not working.

I know how to write this in perl but for some reason, when I write it
in PHP it doesn't work.
In perl it would be (roughly):
function crm_get_country_list(){
global $dbh;
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM countries ORDER BY
pk_country_id ASC", $dbh) or die(mysql_error());
my %country_list;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
$country_list[$row['pk_countryID']] = $row['country_name'];
}
return \%country_list;
}
What am I doing wrong here?
you learnt perl first :-D
Thanks in advance,
Tom
