dennismonsewicz Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 code: $status_array = array('Pending', 'Followup', 'Approved', 'Completed', 'Rejected', 'Correction'); for($i = 0; $i > sizeof($status_array); $i++) { foreach($status_array as $arr) { $option = '<option name=' . $arr . ' value=' . $arr . '>' . $arr . '</option>'; } } I have a select that I am trying to echo out the options for by looping through the array... but when I echo out $options I get nothing... any ideas?

Maq Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 You need to use double quotes for $option: $option = "'$arr"; I think you're using too many loops as well... $status_array = array('Pending', 'Followup', 'Approved', 'Completed', 'Rejected', 'Correction'); foreach($status_array as $arr) $option .= "$arr"; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolf217 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 you dont need the for loop, just use the foreach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdi126 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 both posts make valid points...no need for two loops foreach ($arr as $value) { //your code here } also option is being overwritten each time in the loop...use += $option += '<option name="'.$arr.'" value="'.$arr.'">'.$arr.'</option>'; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 also option is being overwritten each time in the loop...use += That's for addition. We're concatenating strings here, so use ".=" like in my previous post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
