OCHE1976 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I have a members list in a database. I have some filling in information all the time about these members. I do not want him to have to enter the name all the time. I would like to give him a drop down menu with all the names. However, this member list changes all the time. If the name is not in the table, I will give him the ability to enter a new name into the database. That I know is easy.So, to the question: How would I create a drop down menu from a list within an SQL Database?Thanks,David Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/6502-create-drop-down-menu-from-list-in-sql/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
