[SOLVED] Stuck with functions

[phatgreenbuds]

I have the following code for my function:

 

function get_cust_content(){
$query = "SELECT * FROM tbl_content WHERE cust_id = '1' ORDER BY vid_desc ASC";
$cust_content = mysql_query($query);
confirm_query($cust_content); //function higher up that validates the results
return $cust_content; //returns the function result to the requesting file.
}

function list_content(){
$cust_content = get_cust_content(); //calls to the function above. ?>
  	<select name="Content">
    
<?php do { ?>
<option value="<?php echo $content['vid_desc']?>"><?php echo $content['vid_desc']?></option>
    
<?php
	} while ($content = mysql_fetch_array($cust_content)) ;
	$rows = mysql_num_rows($cust_content);
	if ($rows > 0)
	{
		mysql_data_seek($cust_content, 0);
		$content = mysql_fetch_assoc($cust_content);
	}}
?>
     </select>

 

This function works great...does exactly what I want it to. However when I place it in the file below its not displaying as I would have expected.

 

  <tr>
    <td><p>Select Content</p></td>
    <td><input name="content1" value="<?php list_content(); ?>"></td>
  </tr>

 

The reason I am doing this is that the function needs to repeat and return post data based on the "input name=" portion of the form field. This input name will change with every repetition and post to a different field in the DB

My guess is that it should be

 

<tr>

    <td><p>Select Content</p></td>

    <td>

          <select name="content1">

            <?php list_content(); ?>

          </select> 

    </td>

  </tr>

Well that was not entirely correct but it led me down the right path...so thank you for the assist. I got it to work based on what you provided plus a little more.
