Trouble with a select list

[the 7th Hokage]

Hello All!

  I was wondering if any of you guys could help me with a small problem I'm having!

 

I'm trying to add a select list to a form on my webpage.

 

The select list is generated from information stored in a database.

 

The table has 25 rows in it presently and what I'm trying to do is list only one column of the rows to create a select list.

 

An example of this:

 

Populating a select list with all of the names in a member database.

 

Here is the relevant code:

 

$ReqQry=" SELECT `traitname` FROM `traitslist` ";
$ReqResult= mysqli_query($cxn , $ReqQry)or die('Ya did it wrong');
$TraitInfo= mysqli_fetch_assoc($ReqResult);
$TraitCnt= mysqli_num_rows($ReqResult);



$list1=$TraitCnt;

echo "Required Skill 1-"."</br>";
echo "<select id='Req1'>";

foreach($TraitInfo as $v)
{
while($list1 > 0)
{
	echo "<option  value='$v'>$v</option>";
$list1--;
}


}
echo "</select>"."</br></br>";

 

The problem that I am having is that the select list generates the same entry 25 times.

 

Any help would be appreciated, as I have fiddled around with it for about two days in my off-time and no luck yet. Thanks

*ps* I'm still rather wet behind the ears with PhP so be gentle

mysqli_fetch_assoc only fetches the next record in the resultset, not the entire set.

You need to make the call to mysqli_fetch_assoc within your loop

which part of the loop do you mean. the While or foreach part
