Creating drop down lists

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi everyone!

I would like to create a drop down list with the info in my database.

I would also like to have more options so it will filter down to many
rows of data displayed then filtered down to a few rows of data that
said user is looking for.

Kind of like select a state then in the next box you can select the city.

but first thing is first.....

I have tried a few things out there that I searched for but everything
I tried it will not populate the drop down list with the data in my
database.

So I know it somewhere along the lines of:

$query = mysql_query("SELECT root FROM training");
echo "<form action=something.php method=POST><select name=Field>";
while ($r = mysql_fetch_array($query))
{
$user = $r["username"];
echo "<option value=$user>$user</option>";
}
echo "</select>";

or something like that but nothing populates....

What is the proper code to get this done to populate and display what
I select from the drop down menu?

Say my DB name is: TUBA
My table name is: FLUTE

and I have xxx amounts of rows to filter through with three columns in
my mysql db.

Does that all make sense?

Thanks in advance!

You all rock!!

sb
