No. You would have to use JavaScript to do that. The JQuery UI framework has some prebuilt solutions that might meet your need. Here is one: http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#custom-data

 

Or, if you don't want to complicate things, the common standard is to have a select list with the current options as well as a "Custom" option. Then have a text field for the user to enter that custom value.

foreach($list as $op)  $optionstring .= '<option value="'' . $op . '">' . $op . '</option>';

 

<select id="abe" name="abe">' . $optionstring . '</select>

 

if you have an keyed array

 

foreach($list as $val => $op)  $optionstring .= '<option value="'' . $val . '">' . $op . '</option>';
