Barand Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) Set $select='' before the while loop. You are attempting to append to a non-existant string. Edited September 8, 2016 by Barand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benanamen Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) Example: <?php $sql = "SELECT id, name FROM table"; $stmt = $pdo->prepare($sql); $stmt->execute(); $result = $stmt->fetchAll(); ?> <form action="<?= $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] ?>" method="post"> <select name="id"> <?php foreach ($result as $row) :?> <option value="<?= $row['id']; ?>"><?= $row['name']; ?></option> <?php endforeach; ?> </select> <button name="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button> </form> Edited September 8, 2016 by benanamen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
