Bopo Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Hi Well I don't think its too serious, but when I click my combo box to view the list options, only blank spaces appear, around 5 lines appear which is the amount of data I'm pulling back, therefore I believe it's there, I just can't see it, below is the code. <?php include("blogconnect.php"); echo "<select name=\"categorychosen\">"; $sql = "SELECT * FROM cat ORDER BY category DESC"; echo "<option value=\"\">Select a category</option>"; $query = mysql_query($sql, $connect); while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){ echo "<option value=\"".$row['category']."\"></option>"; } echo "</select>"; ?> Just checked the HTML, the options are there, but there appearing as <option value="Wildlife"></option> etc. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/150758-solved-dynamically-generated-combo-box-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesideez Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 The problem is that you're not inserting anything between the tags. echo '<option value="'.$row['category'].'">'.$row['category'].'</option>'; Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/150758-solved-dynamically-generated-combo-box-problem/#findComment-792014 Share on other sites More sharing options...
