I am trying to create a page where I have dynamic drop down menu lists so users can egenerate dynamic content based on their preference. Is it possible that I can save the entire file as a PHP and still keep the functionality, including generating dynamic menus, writing the proper entries to the database and printing out the proper output? Thanks for your help. Alice _________________________________________________________________ The reason it works in html is because it is "executed" in the browser. If you want this html to get to the browser you must either echo it to the output buffer that is sent to the browser, or end your php section with "?>" so that these lines are interpreted as part of the output that is sent to the browser. If your php script is running without error then I presume you're already doing this. If that's the case then maybe it's not being put into the output buffer the way you're expecting (e.g. maybe the quotes don't match). You can look at the source code in the browser and compare it against the working html code to see where the difference is.
