hi, I would like to know how to create and populate drop down boxes in php. I want the value to be populated from database. What I am try to do is to provide the forign key value as combo box option, so that I do not have to check for referential integrity. Also if you can help me with a date validation program I will be grateful. Thanks in advance. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Photos: High-quality 4x6 digital prints for 25¢
