Re: Re: Dropdown menus from DB query

Smarty Templating? I've heard of that before, but can you tell me a little more about it? Is it built into PHP, or does it need to be installed separately?

Thanks to everyone who helped me,
Cole

this is where smarty templating is so cool
using PEAR db

php code

$sql = 'select id, name from names order by name asc';
$smarty->assign('names',$db->getAssoc($sql));

template

<select name="name">
{html_options options=$names}
</select>

How would you create a drop down menu from a database query? I have
figured how to do it with one field, but how could it be done with a
system where the value is different than the displayed value (ie.
numerical code as the value, name displayed)?

Thanks,
Cole
