drop down link to .txt

[t_k_eoh]

Hi all,

 

I would really like to know how to link the contents from the .txt to be listed into drop down for users to select.

 

Eg. Inside my "data.txt", I have a few words:

Apple

Orange

Strawberry

 

I would like to recall out them to be listed into the drop down from my form. Is there any way this can be done??

Pls help. Thanks.

Try:

<?php
$f = fopen("data.txt", "r");
echo "<select name='fruits'>";
while($line = fgets($f)) echo "<option value='$line'>$line</option>";
echo "</select>";
fclose($f);
?>

 

Hope that helps.

<?php

$Filename = 'data.txt';

if (file_exists($Filename) && is_readable($Filename))
{
    $Links = file($Filename);
    
    echo '<select name="">';
    foreach ($Links as $Link)
    {
        echo "<option value='$Link'>$Link</option>";
    }
    echo '</select>';
}

?>

 

Try:

<?php
$f = fopen("data.txt", "r");
echo "<select name='fruits'>";
while($line = fgets($f)) echo "<option value='$line'>$line</option>";
echo "</select>";
fclose($f);
?>

 

Hope that helps.
