PHP Rating Help (convert radio to dropdown)

[surfsup]

Hi

 

I am using the following code to create a nifty rating system. Not my code i haste to add but it works a treat. Except I need to use a drop down menu rather than the radio buttons. Can anyone help. I guess the relevant code is

 

echo '<label for="rate5_'.$rater_id.'"><input type="radio" value="5" name="rating_'.$rater_id.'[]" id="rate5_'.$rater_id.'" />Excellent</label></br>';
echo '<label for="rate4_'.$rater_id.'"><input type="radio" value="4" name="rating_'.$rater_id.'[]" id="rate4_'.$rater_id.'" />Very Good</label></br>';
echo '<label for="rate3_'.$rater_id.'"><input type="radio" value="3" name="rating_'.$rater_id.'[]" id="rate3_'.$rater_id.'" />Good</label></br>';
echo '<label for="rate2_'.$rater_id.'"><input type="radio" value="2" name="rating_'.$rater_id.'[]" id="rate2_'.$rater_id.'" />Fair</label></br>';
echo '<label for="rate1_'.$rater_id.'"><input type="radio" value="1" name="rating_'.$rater_id.'[]" id="rate1_'.$rater_id.'" />Poor</label></br>';

 

But if not the full code is here

 

 

<?

// User settings
$rater_ip_voting_restriction = true; // restrict ip address voting (true or false)
$rater_ip_vote_qty=1; // how many times an ip address can vote

$rater_not_selected_msg="You have not selected a rating value.";
