imarockstar Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I have an array stored in a DB such as this 1,2,3,4,5 and I explode it to be placed in a drop down. This works great. However I need to explode another field from the DB to also be inserted ... the use ... I need to pull the OPTION - > Name, and also the OPTION - > Value, and have them dynamically displayed. I do this because I have over 100 questions in this form. below is a the code that I use to explode the data. Does anyone know how I can also explode another array and also use it to populate the VALUE portion of this drop down ? <!-- displays a DROPDOWN if it is one --> <?php if ( $rows['gq_type'] == 2 ) { $a = explode(',', $rows['emp_options']); echo "<select class='FMselect' name=' " .$rows['emp_id']." '>"; echo "<option>Please Choose</option>"; foreach ($a as $v) { echo "<option>" . $v . "</option>"; } echo "</select>"; } ?> you can see I am exploding - > $rows['emp_options'] and this is being inserted as the option NAME I need - > $rows['emp_options'], exploded and inserted as the value ... but I am not sure on how to do this ...
