[SOLVED] Dynamic Drop Menu Question

[Zergman]

Just curious if its possible to have a dynamic dropdown menu but also include a non-dynamic menu item in the same dropdown .... hopefully I worded that right

[dezkit]

How those this relate to php?

[samona]

Yes it's possible.

@dezkit - Wasn't sure if this was the right section but I do pull my menu via php

 

@samona - Cool, time to hit google!

Does this answer your question?

 

<?PHP
$menu_array = array("Home", "Forums", "Media");
print "<select name=\"main\">";
for($i=0; $i < count($menu_array); $i++) print "<option>$menu_array[$i]</option>";
print "</select>";
?>

Thanks aeonsky, I sorta can see from your example, but trying to adapt it to my select box is causing a few issues.

 

Here's what I got so far, unsure how to add one value to the top of the dropdown before the dynamic stuff.

<select name="tracking" class="inputbox" id="tracking">
          <?php
do {  
?>
          <option value="<?php echo $row_rsmenufield['value']?>"><?php echo $row_rsmenufield['value']?></option>
          <?php
} while ($row_rsmenufield = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsmenufield));
  $rows = mysql_num_rows($rsmenufield);
  if($rows > 0) {
      mysql_data_seek($rsmenufield, 0);
  $row_rsmenufield = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsmenufield);
  }
?>
</select>

 

Please pardon my sloppy code

Cool, figured it out.

 

I know this isn't the best solution but it works for now.

 

<select name="tracking" class="inputbox" id="tracking">
        <option value="n/a">n/a</option>
        <?php
do {  
?>
        <option value="<?php echo $row_rsmenufield['value']?>"><?php echo $row_rsmenufield['value']?></option>
          <?php
} while ($row_rsmenufield = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsmenufield));
  $rows = mysql_num_rows($rsmenufield);
  if($rows > 0) {
      mysql_data_seek($rsmenufield, 0);
  $row_rsmenufield = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsmenufield);
  }
?>
</select>

How about right before the <?php tag?

 

Just add another <option value="">Example</>
