hi,
all
you have to do is to extract values from the database with a query.
i suppose you know...
after that you have to do all you have done till now except the dropdown toolbox(that is called actually a listbox).
for the list box you have to write like this:
<select name="select">
<?php for($i=count(records returned by the query);$i++)
echo '<option name='.$records_returned[$i].'>$records_returned[$i].</option>';
?>
</select>
so the select it's here your input type text..and the other are the same like you have on that form.
if you want an example on how to extract values from a database try to search on php.net because now i don't know what database you use and so on...
