trying to add data to my table

[pouncer]

echo "
<tr>
<td>$name</td>
<td>$desc</td>
<td>
<select name=select>
$i = 0;
while ($i < $total) {
  <option>$i</option>
  $i++;
}
</select>
</td>
</tr>";

 

it displays the drop down boxes, but with no data, why not?

Use a for.

 

for($i=0;$i<$total;$i++){
echo "<option>$i</option>\n";
}
