Converting Text Box To Dropdown

[chicky365]

Hi,

 

I am new to php and trying to convert a wordpress form text box to a dropdown list, which then shows the value selected on a different page. I have the code and the text box showing but I do not know how to change the input form to have a dropdown.

 

I would like the dropdown to show the following values for "Condition"=:

 

New

Used

Other

 

The code for the page that the value displays on is as follows:

 

<?php echo $condition; ?>

 

 

This is the text form I need to change to a dropdown:

 

<li>

<h2><?php echo __('Condition', 'AuctionTheme'); ?>:</h2>

<p><input type="text" size="10" name="condition" class="do_input"

value="<?php echo get_post_meta($pid, 'condition', true); ?>" /> <?php do_action('AuctionTheme_step3_after_condition_field'); ?></p>

</li>

 

 

Can someone give me a clue in the right direction? thanks

I think it will be like this

 

From

<input type="text" size="10" name="condition" class="do_input"

value="<?php echo get_post_meta($pid, 'condition', true); ?>" />

 

To

 

Suppose the value will be "Other"

 

<select>

<option value="<?php echo get_post_meta($pid, 'condition', true); ?>" selected="selected"><?php echo get_post_meta($pid, 'condition', true); ?></option>

<option value="New">New</option>

<option value="Ued">Used</option>

</select>

 

You need to put logic in the "selected" attribute whether if it's selected or not by using tertoary operator.
