Dropdown in array and foreach

[Arend]

Struggling with a dropdown menu in a form.  What I have is a plugin for Wordpress to make extra fields in an excisting form.

The problem that the menu is not filling with values and what ever I do nothing good is happening.

Could someone please help to get on the right track?

The code I am using;

 

function gma_wpjmef_frontend_add_doelgroep_info_field( $fields ) {

  $fields['job']['job_doelgroep_info'] = array(

    'label'       => __( 'Select One ', 'extra-field' ),

    'type'        => 'select',

    'required'    => false,

    'placeholder' => '',

    'omschrijving' => '',

    'priority'    => '8',

    'be' => 'Belgium',

    'lu' => 'Luxembourgh',

    'nl' => 'Netherlands' ,

    );

    foreach ($fields['job']['job_doelgroep_info'] as $key => $value) {

   echo '   <option value="<echo $value; >"<<echo $key;></option>';

  };

  return $fields;

}

Too many <..>s and echos. Try

echo "<option value='$value'>$key</option>";

(Note use of outer double quotes)

Please use the <> button when posting code

Can I ask - why do you need this function?  All it does is create a single entry in an array and never anything else.  What's the point?  You could simply place this code in your mainline code and not have to create a function.

Actually I should have said - "create the SAME single entry in an array".  Which kind of makes it a needless function.
