I am writing a small page in which I want a combo box giving a list of options taken from a database table where the ID from the table is the value and the string is the actual option. I am trying to set it up using a foreach statement, but I keep getting the following error message: Notice: Array to string conversion in issue.php on Line 87. Here is the code I'm using to create this array. First, this is in the beginning of the file to get the array: $sqlStatuses = "SELECT StatusID, Status FROM Status"; try { $rsStatuses = $db->query($sqlStatuses); $arrAllStatus = $rsStatuses->fetchAll(); } catch (Exception $e) { echo $e->getMessage(); } Then in the page body, I am using: <select id="status"> <?php foreach ($arrAllStatus as $statID=>$status) { echo "<option value=\"$statID\"$selected>$status</option>"; } ?> </select> The errors I am getting are on the echo line. Do the variables I use after the "as" have to be the same as the fields in the table? I didn't think so. Chris
